Global Warming
The global climate crisis is on our doorstep and TAU has made it a priority to leverage its expertise to address the matter. This week, the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History launched a new exhibit, "Global Warning: The Climate, The Crisis and Us," that explores the growing dangers of climate change and presents hands-on suggestions for taking action. The exhibit showcases the latest scientific findings and uses interactive approaches to underscore the tangible impact of the crisis on humanity and nature, in Israel and around the world.
