The Adventurer Traveling the Globe to Document the Impact of Climate Change
Climate change is widely accepted as science. However, the cause of the phenomenon has led to many headed debates in political circles.
Adventurer and University of Minnesota Professor Aaron Doering is traveling the world to document the ways climate change is quickly changing our planet. When asked about the evidence of climate change he's seen, Doering says, "there are some places I can't visit anymore."
Doering's goal for his expeditions is to educate the masses about the environment. Students and teachers around the world can follow Doering through his four-year long project,The Changing Earth.
