Today’s program: a screening of the film “Decoding the Weather Machine” (2018, 120 minutes)

Disastrous hurricanes. Widespread droughts and wildfires. Withering heat. Extreme rainfall. It is hard not to conclude that something’s up with the weather, and many scientists agree. It’s the result of the weather machine itself — our climate — changing, becoming hotter and more erratic.
