This past March, the George M. Ewing Canandaigua Forum was proud to host its first-ever “virtual forum” discussion with leading climate activist Bill McKibben and Canandaigua-native Michael Winship. In the remote, dispersed discussion, Mr. McKibben focused on both the perils of our changing global climate as well as the promising return of the United States to the fight to adapt to our changing world.
