Climate Death

This week’s Austin News Real program features Bruce Melton, P.E., an Austin civil engineer and climate change expert, who reveals the true impact of the warming planet. Bruce Melton talks about what he learned visiting Greenland and witnessing firsthand the melting glaciers. He also screens his 12-minute documentary, “What Have We Done,” about the greatest tree pandemic in North America in possibly 10,000 years. Four hundred million trees are dead in the American Rockies. This is what the scientists have been warning us about when they said that insect infestation would increase in a warmer world. Bruce Melton also shares several songs he has written. More information about his work on climate change can be found at www.meltonengineering.com
