Sirois has served on the Maine Department of Environmental Protection’s Climate Adaptation Group and has presented to more than 70 congregations, academic groups and business groups on the science of climate change and water.
A news release notes that in addition to Saturday’s talk, Sirois will return on Aug. 25 “to discuss acidification of the oceans and visualizing civilization’s success with the challenges before us.”
