    About this ebook

    'Climates in Crisis' is an educational guide. It summarizes an intensive two-year project in which my primary goal was to educate the public about climate change. When climate change became a political issue in 2019 during the 2020 presidential primaries, I felt an urgency to share with fellow Americans my scientific knowledge about climate change.
    For those who are interested in learning more about climate change -- what it is, its history where you live, and how it impacts you today -- this guide is written for you!
    'Climates in Crisis also brings to life a new climate change teaching tool identified as 'Tracking Climate change Locally (through) Weather' [TCCLW]. For those who identify themselves as 'hands-on' type individuals, this guide is a must read because TCCLW enables you to graphically track your climate change's history. With a little research, you can project what your climate is becoming and how that change might impact your future security, health and well-being.

    Roy Wysnewski

    I am a retired Nondestructive Testing Engineer/Manager living for the past twenty-five years with my wife Judy in Sarasota, Florida.At one point in my life, as a junior in college, I considered entering the field of meteorology. When that didn't materialize, I made a personal vow to become an amateur meteorologist and monitor the weather when I retired --- and that's what I did beginning in 1999.Unique lifetime weather experiences together with a very satisfactory eighteen years monitoring the local weather while volunteering as a Weather Spotter for the National Weather Service led me to write 'Whether To, Or Weather - Not To'.
