John Englander Presents Climate Change Involves 4 Different Issues: The Policy Implications

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Sept. 8, 2016 - PRLog -- The public is invited to attend a free presentation by renowned climate expert and internationally acclaimed speaker John Englander on Thursday, Sept. 22, 2016 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Summit Library, 3650 Summit Blvd., West Palm Beach, Florida. At the invitation of the League of Women Voters of Palm Beach County, Englander will present "Climate Change Involves 4 Different Issues: The Policy Implications."

During his 40-minute talk Englander will explore how climate change, energy, sea level rise, recycling, the Everglades, fresh water, ecosystem, algae, and many more, are overlapping issues, but are quite different in regards to the science involved and especially policy initiatives. The presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A session and book signing.

Englander also will briefly discuss his recent fact-finding trip to Greenland to see the melting first hand as the expert climate advisor for a US Congressional Delegation and the head of the US Coast Guard. The melting of the ice sheet and glaciers on Greenland is a critical factor for shipping, sea level rise, and global weather patterns.

A recognized expert on sea level rise, oceanographer, speaker, author, TED Talk presenter and consultant, Englander has been a leader in both the private sector and the nonprofit arena for more than 30 years. He has served as CEO for such noteworthy organizations as The Cousteau Society and The International SeaKeepers Society. As the Founder of the Rising Seas Group, he works with businesses, government agencies and communities to assist them in understanding, planning and adapting to the financial risks of rising sea levels.

His best-selling book, "High Tide On Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis," clearly explains the science behind sea level rise, the impending devastating financial impacts and the "intelligent adaptation" that all businesses and coastal communities must consider today.

Englander's recent media appearances include MSNBC, ABC, Fox Business Channel, The Weather Channel, PBS, CCTV (China), National Public Radio (NPR), and SkyNews TV-UK.  He has been featured in USA Today, Huffington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Publisher's Weekly.
