Science Cafe, Orlando

Science Cafe, Orlando is hosting a meeting next week. Should be interesting.

Climate Change: The Science and the Skeptics
Presenter: Snow, Richard & Mary
When: Wednesday, 5 August 2009 7:00pm – 9:30pm
Where: 717 W. Smith Street, Orlando

Since civilization began some 6000 years ago, the mean temperature of Earth has not varied more than 1°C from the average. The change in temperature of between 1.5 and 4°C (2.7 to 7°F), forecasted for the next hundred years, has no equal in the recent history of the planet. Several natural phenomena do contribute to climate change and most of the past changes in climate can be explained by a combination of them. However, none of these natural phenomena, individually or collectively, explain today’s rapid climate changes. In the short (in terms of geologic time) period that people have inhabited Earth, we have brought about massive changes in the environment, which have had a significant impact on Earth’s climate. Dr. Richard Snow and Dr. Mary Snow examine the evidence and effects of climate change as well as the well-orchestrated attempt to create controversy and disseminate misinformation regarding global warming.
