Area universities urged to study climate change http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1283704125
Adapting to climate change and mitigating its impacts are about to become bigger priorities in Northwest Indiana.
A committee of the region's largest planning agency, the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission, has taken an official stand on the issue and is calling on local universities to study the impact of climate change on health, the economy and the environment in the region. At least one university is ready to help.
The committee wants NIRPC to expand its public education program and spread the word that municipalities need to adapt to, and mitigate the effects of, climate change. The committee also wants the commission to promote green infrastructure as a way to mitigate climate change. Green infrastructure is a way of using nature to filter precipitation into the ground rather than sending it to sewers.

They need the universities because they sure as hell won't get any help from the governor!
