Judith Schwartz: The Story of Climate Is the Story of Water | 2019 Soil & Nutrition Conference

The Story of Climate Is the Story of Water Judith Schwartz https://bionutrient.org While concern over climate change commands an increasing amount of attention, the narrative remains focused on greenhouse gas emissions. However, a broader look reveals the role of water in driving climate; indeed, if we ask how the planet manages heat we see that it is largely via hydrological processes. This workshop explores opportunities to work with the water cycle to promote cooling, where this is already happening, and how soil plays an important part.
