White House scientist can answer your climate change questions

Rising sea levels that wash away beaches, ocean acidification that destroys coral reefs, more intense storms that overwhelm drainage systems and flood our streets – these are some of the problems that climate change brings to our islands and coastal areas throughout the world. To keep people informed and answer questions you may have the Obama administration has set up a Q&A system using social media. Ask your question on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Vine, using the hashtag #AskDrH, and the President’s Science Advisor, Dr. John Holdren, will respond to as many as he can.
