<p class="MsoPlainText">*NEW COURSE* Climate Change Interpretation begins Oct 5 on MuseumStudy.com Join Professor John Veverka for the 4 week online course Climate Change Interpretation. Climate change and global warming issues are quickly reaching a critical
level affecting each of us as well as the world every day. From enabling extreme weather, sea level increases from glacial melting and flooding, affecting farming and food production, and the increasing health risks such as asthma in children, we, as interpreters,
interpretive organizations and agencies, museums and zoo educators have to do a better job in interpreting climate issues to our visitors. We need to do this particularly at the grass root level, for our own visitors raising awareness of problems and de-bunking
myths.<o:p></o:p></p>
