CLIMATE CHANGE IN

CHAPPAQUA, NY

When it comes to climate change, “the point of no return is no longer over the horizon. It is in sight and hurtling toward us.”
INTRODUCTION

This webpage and website were originally created by climate change skeptics who turned into fierce believers. However, this belief was only achieved through months of intensive research, fact-finding, visual analysis, and information from the brightest minds in the world. Our hope is that the below information and resources can also help change your mind. Our passion for action now comes from the story of Linda Zhang, a Chappaqua teen who left behind a powerful legacy. 

If you are still skeptical of our intent, read this article on the psychology behind climate change denial.

RESILIENT BRIDGEPORT CLIMATE CHANGE INFRASTRUCTURE

Resilient Bridgeport is a prototype for the region’s coastal cities. Led by the State of Connecticut, it consists of a resilience strategy and pilot projects focused on protecting the town from climate hazards.

A 2019 policy paper, Existential climate-related security risk: A scenario approach, from an Australian climate action advocacy group the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration lays out this scenario.

Before your eyes roll, note that the theories in the paper were basically channeling Harvard economist Martin Weitzman’s dismal theorem. In deriving his dismal theorem, Weitzman probed what it would mean if equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS)—conventionally defined as global average surface warming following a doubling of carbon dioxide concentrations—exceeded the likely range of 1.5–4.5°C.
