Climate Change
June 25, 2010 November 28, 2010
In this enlightening exhibition, explore the science, history, and impact of climate change and its effects on our oceans, atmosphere, land, and societies.
Uncover the natural evidence of climate change when you examine the rings on a real tree cross-section. Discover how even your small, individual changes add up quickly to help reduce global warming.
And learn about some of our best hopes for alternative energy sources that can eliminate our dependency on fossil fuels. Examine the inside of a pebble-bed nuclear reactor, see how the sun’s energy can be used through new types of solar panels, and learn how carbon dioxide may someday be captured and buried underground. Discover how through a combination of efforts– individual, societal, and governmental– we can make an impact in reducing climate change, now at The Field Museum.
