| DESCRIPTION: | A new AAAS exhibit, "Climate Change in Our World,"
includes large-scale images of existing climate change effects.
Environmental photojournalist Gary Braasch's five-feet high photographs
illustrate the effects rapid climate change has had around the world, and some actions being taken to lessen them.
The photographs are part of Braasch's book "Earth Under Fire: How
Global Warming is Changing the World." A concurrent exhibit in the AAAS Gallery "How We Know About Our Changing Climate," includes large prints of
images from the children's book "How We Know What We Know About Our Changing Climate" co-written by Braasch and Lynne
Cherry. Visitors to the gallery may also view short videos from
Cherry's project "Young Voices on Climate Change". The videos show children around the world working with climate scientists and on their own climate projects.
