At the summit, participants will receive new information from “Critical Infrastructure and Land Use Climate Vulnerability Analysis” that was commissioned by Alachua County. The keynote speaker will be Jacqueline Patterson, the founder and executive director of The Chisholm Legacy Project. Registrants will participate in breakout sessions on health, water, food and energy.
Participants will be asked to draw on local knowledge to invent a more livable community. They will engage in dialogues led by mayors and other local leaders who have a solid understanding of the obstacles faced.
“Climate change” is a doomsday cult, based on manmade politics. Previous political disasters were just as costly: 2008 financial crisis, recent manmade Covid lab leak, LBJ’s “Great society” 60 yrs long, and Vietnam, Iraq, 9/11 Afghanistan, Ukraine civil war … just to name a few.
Thanks for your comment. The dinosaurs beg to differ. Like many today, they also did not believe in science.
