Katharine Hayhoe Speaking Topics

Talking Climate Change with Christians

The Bible never mentions climate change - yet from Genesis to Revelation, its full of instruction and guidance of how we are to care for and protect this unique home God has given us and those who share it with us. How is fossil fuel use and climate change affecting Gods creation? If we view the Earth as Gods gift to us, what does it mean to be a good steward of that gift? And if we truly believe we are called to love others as we've been loved by God, what should our perspective be on climate action and climate justice?

Climate Change: Fact or Fiction?

Climate change is one of the most hotly debated scientific issues of today. But, is the evidence solid? Are proposed solutions viable? And why would any of us even care? Join Katharine Hayhoe as she untangles the complex science behind global warming and highlights the key role our values play in shaping our attitudes and actions on this crucial topic.

Climate Science: What’s New?

Human emissions of greenhouse gases now overwhelm the influence of natural drivers on Earth's climate. How will our energy choices and resulting emissions affect temperature and precipitation, extreme events, sea level rise and more, over this century and beyond? What are the implications for meeting the targets of the Paris Agreement and avoiding dangerous change? And what about the potential for surprise, as we push the climate system harder and faster than any time in human history? Join Katharine as she highlights key results and new science from the Fourth U. S. National Climate Assessment, and lays out how climate change is affecting regions and sectors across the U. S.

Katharine Hayhoe Reviews

  • Katharine was flexible with format, timing and budget. Then she did a great job preparing for and integrating student questions. Her content delivery at 9 pm (her time zone) after a long day was amazing! The students really connected with her, the content and we had a very lively time talking about it after the event. I think this could provide direction for some of their careers. We could not have had a better speaker.

  • Western Association of College and University Business Officers - May 10 2023

  • Mount Holyoke College - Apr 23 2023
