The Language of Climate Change | Carly Phillips | TEDxBearCreekPark

Climate change is altering not just our environment, but also our language - creating new words, redefining existing ones, and describing our path towards climate action. In her inspiring talk, ecosystem scientist, Dr. Carly Phillips, explores our climate vocabulary, and the future of wildfires and forests in a rapidly warming world. Learn about the systems and policies that govern our progress on climate action, and why forests alone can’t solve the climate crisis. Carly is an ecosystem scientist who studies carbon, wildfire, and solutions for the climate crisis. Her research has taken her from cloud forests in Costa Rica to arctic tundra in Alaska, which has highlighted how rapidly increasing temperatures threaten global ecosystems and strengthened Carly’s passion to address climate change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
