Join The Explorers Club on Monday, March 3rd to learn about the wild, unexpected, and fascinating ways that weather has influenced and altered the outcomes of momentous events throughout history.
AccuWeather Founder and Executive Chairman Dr. Joel N. Myers takes readers on a journey from the beginning of time to modern days, exploring how weather and climate impacted historic events around the globe in his book Invisible Iceberg: When Climate and Weather Shaped History.
From the comet that ended the age of the dinosaur 66 million years ago, to engrossing stories about how weather and climate led to the rise and fall of empires, caused plagues to spread, inspired works of art, and thoughts on whether the movements of a cold front and a nearby hurricane could have thwarted the 9/11 attacks, the book highlights dozens of fascinating events from history, along with thought-provoking insight about how weather and climate are stitched into the outcomes of these historic occurrences.
This in-person event at the Explorers Club Headquarters will include an audience Q&A.
Streaming live here on explorers.org, our YouTube Channel, and our Facebook Live — Monday, March 3rd at 7:00 pm ET.
