Bienvenidos al proyecto Pregúntale al Experto
Lanzamos un proyecto el año pasado llamado Pregúntale al Experto. Pedimos a ustedes que nos mandaran sus preguntas acerca del cambio climático y recibimos tantas preguntas que no nos fue posible responderlas todas. Este año, queremos seguir contestando preguntas, pero de una forma diferente. Para responder aún más preguntas, vamos a entrevistar a nuestros expertos por video y publicar sus respuestas en nuestro canal de Youtube y también en nuestro sitio web. Si tienen preguntas sobre el clima extremo (huracanes, inundaciones, incendios forestales, sequías, el aumento del nivel del mar, por ejemplo),cómo mantener a sus seres queridos (y ustedes mismos también) seguros, o sobre soluciones como energía renovable y vehículos eléctricos ¡mándennoslas! El formulario está al final de este artículo. ¡Por favor de llenarlo para que podamos encontrar las respuestas a sus preguntas! https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/03/tienes-preguntas-sobre-el-cambio-climatico-2/ También nos pueden seguir en nuestro canal de Whatsapp @YCC en español.
