It's official...I'm an extension economist (and I gave my first Webinar)

What I did last week:

The OSU Extension Climate Change team is putting together a series of webinars for Ohio citizens and other interested parties to provide information about key topics related to climate change.  These topics include:

• Scientific data on climate change
• The implications of climate change for Ohio's flora and fauna
• The implications of climate change for Ohio's agriculture and forestry industries
• Analysis of policies to mitigate climate change
