Climate Movie Night

November 21, 6:30pm - Heat Pumps!

Join us this Thursday in watching a video of home electrification expert Sean Armstrong describing how to select from many alternatives, in any climate, an electric heat pump for heating and cooling your home. Sean will demonstrate how heat pumps are free of greenhouse gas emission and explain how they can even heat your water and clean and dry your clothes.  This video explores why home electrification is important for our health and the health of our planet. It also discusses how to maximize benefits, compare electric options, minimize installation costs, and avoid cost and design pitfalls. We’ll also review how electrification policy advocacy is critical in addressing the climate crisis.

Sean Armstrong is the Managing Principal of Redwood Energy. His firm was the designer of fully half of the all-electric residences built in California and one quarter of the Zero Net Energy residences built in North America between 2011 and 2020. He has co-authored 6 guides to building electrification, helped develop 120-volt heat pump water heaters and has provided legal and technical support to 80 gas bans nation-wide. Sean has received awards including the 2017 Grand Prize World Habitat Award from the United Nations. He has been inducted into California’s Clean Energy Hall of Fame.

December 19, 6:30pm - Bay Area 2050

The San Francisco Bay Area is home to more than 7 million people who take advantage of a Mediterranean climate with mild wet winters and sun drenched summers. Only about 2% of the planet has a similar climate. The cool nights grow some of the finest wine grapes in the world, while during the day pleasant temperatures along the coast meet the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean. But the weather here is changing because climate change is part of our new reality.

Here in the Bay Area, we will see dramatic changes that will impact how and where we live in the future. Fog has been on the decline and rising sea levels threaten our coastline. Inland wildfires will be more frequent, hotter and more dangerous. Our crops are jeopardized by fires and drought. How badly will the Bay Area be impacted by climate change in the coming decades? Experts weigh in on what lies ahead in this ABC7 Original "Bay Area 2050."
