Hi friends,

Fossil Free MIT is hosting James Hansen this Tuesday 4/15 at 5pm in MIT 10-250 as the last event in our spring speaker series. We're expecting this to be our biggest event of the semester, and it'd be great to see you there!

Thanks,

Combatting the Climate Crisis: The Path from Science to Action

Tuesday, April 15

Talk | 5 - 6:30 PM, MIT 10-250

Reception | 6:30 - 7:30 PM, MIT 10-105 (RSVP)

Fossil Free MIT is excited to welcome Dr. James Hansen as the final speaker of our Climate Change Speaker Series. Dr. Hansen, formerly Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (a position from which he retired to "focus more on climate activism"), is Adjunct Professor at Columbia University's Earth Institute, where he directs a program in Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions. Dr. Hansen is well known for his 1988 testimony on climate change to Congress that helped raise broad awareness of global warming. He is one of the world's most prominent advocates of public and political action against climate change and was named one of TIME Magazine's 100 most influential people on Earth in 2006. Dr. Hansen will be discussing the realities of the climate crisis and the opportunities for us to rise to meet them, with a particular emphasis on the role and responsibilities of our youth generation. For an idea of what to look forward to, check out Dr. Hansen's popular TED Talk, "Why I Must Speak Out About Climate Change".

Directly following the talk, we welcome you to join us for an informal reception with Dr. Hansen in the Bush Room (10-105). This event is free and open to the public. Learn more here, and share with friends on Facebook.
