Dr. Fitzpatrick's talk is the first in a year-long "Green Chautauqua" series presented by First Presbyterian Church of San Anselmo,
in collaboration with 350 Marin, Green Sangha, Marin Sierra Club, and others. Green Chautauqua is intended to bring the latest research on climate change to the Marin community. Modeled after the popular adult education movement of the late 19th century, Green Chautauqua believes that through awareness and understanding we will be better equipped to respond to one of the most urgent problems of the modern era.
