Global Warming Perspectives

The Hera Group has organized an interdisciplinary lecture series on global warming.
The third lecture of the series will be held on Tuesday October 16 at 4PM.
The speaker, Dr. Drew Shindell (NASA, Goddard Institute for Space Studies), will talk on: "Climate Changes: Causes, Consequences & Solutions"

The Nobel Peace Prize recently awarded to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and to Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change", has drawn even greater attention to this subject.
Although the scientific community has widely accepted Global Warming as a real phenomenon some scientists are still not convinced on the effect of human activities on global climate change.
Professor Willie Soon, a skeptic working for the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, will show a study that seems to contradict the existence of anthropogenic causes to global warming.
His lecture "Global Warming 101: Al Gore’s CO2 Theory" will be hosted in Physics S-240 on November 7 at 3PM.
