Lecture: Climate Science vs. Denial
Submitted by Editor on Sun, 07/01/2012 - 6:04am
The Climate Crisis looms as the most serious threat to human civilization. Recent data indicate more rapid warming and accelerating greenhouse gas emissions than previously projected. As the political process addresses the issues, misinformation floods the public space, creating confusion and delay. What must be done to reduce emissions and begin to pull greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere in order to avoid dangerous climate change and to return the Earth to a safe-climate future? How can the public and decision-makers cut through the spin and denial in order to do what is necessary?
Join presenter Peter Joseph, M.D. for a “Climate Reality Project” presentation on July 10 at 6 p.m. at Lake Tahoe Community College (Room A-208) or July 11 at 6 p.m. at the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences (Room 139 & 141) on the campus of Sierra Nevada College.
