Minnesota Public Radio presents "Global Warming: The Home Front," a Public Insight Forum moderated by Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer on Thursday, March 1 starting at 7 p.m. in the UBS Forum.

Concern about global warming is increasing in American households as warnings of a potential climate change catastrophe are proliferating in the media. Consumers are becoming more interested in sustainable products ranging from the laundry detergent they use to the cars they drive. In the end, can a change in consumers' behavior alter the course of global warming?

This Public Insight Forum will bring together consumers to discuss their concerns about climate change and if it is leading them to change their behavior. A group of experts ranging from economists to climate experts will help inform the discussion.

This event is sold out.
