Think concern about climate change is going away? Not in Northfield, Minnesota.
The Northfield News reports in Hundreds come out for Northfield Climate Summit:
To say people in Northfield are concerned about climate change would be an understatement.
Organizers of Saturday's "Northfield Area Climate Summit" were hoping for 400 people to show up at St. Olaf College's Buntrock Commons for the event. On Thursday night at the close of registration of the first-ever community-wide event on the subject of climate change, 857 people had signed up, according to Alan Anderson, one of the organizers.
"We have been astonished and pleased that it has gone to 857," Anderson said. "This event has continued to grow since we first mentioned it in March and began organizing in July. A lot of folks in the community have been talking about the summit for some time now. It's a real success."
Meterologist Paul Douglas was the keynote speaker.
