WELCOME

Welcome to the McMaster Centre for Climate Change website.  We are currently in the midst of developing a new look for 2012, and in the meantime encourage you to take a look around the website to learn about the work being done at the MCCC.

Most recently, on the evening of October 26, we were proud to host Dr. David Phillips as part of our 2011-2012 Public Speaker Series!  Dr. Phillips' talk was a great success, with about 200 people showing up to hear him deliver an educational and engaging talk titled "What's Up With The Weather?". To learn more about this talk, please take a look at this article that was published in The Hamilton Spectator on the following day.

If you missed out, but would like to be informed of future events, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to join our mailing list.
