One More Reminder -- March 23rd Live Climate Program Online and in Morgantown

[H simmens]

Here’s an opportunity to listen to and question scientists speaking about what’s happening in the polar regions and what we need to do about it.

The keynote speaker wrote an article about the polar regions last year in which she said it’s all about reducing emissions. No surprise there.

Thus should be a prime opportunity to challenge her to demonstrate that any realistic effort to stop polar ice melt by emission reductions alone (ERA) can be successful. 

It’s this Wednesday and you even have an opportunity to attend in person if you’re inclined to travel to the heart of West Virginia

I expect to attend - online - though it is a beautiful drive from Washington through the hollows of West Virginia to Morgantown.

 Save the Planet -- and Leave No One Behind!

Dear Herb,        Here's our final reminder about the upcoming Wednesday, March 23 live climate science program from Morgantown, WV -- featuring a great speaker, Dr. Julie Brigham-Grette. Details and registration are here.   Julie Brigham-Grette is a world-renowned scientist who studies the polar regions. She is tremendously alarmed at the ongoing environmental collapse of these areas that are so vital to our planetary well-being.  See her recent article on this topic here. Dr. Brigham-Grette will be speaking and answering questions about how the polar climate has already changed, what we can expect as global climate change continues, and why we urgently need to address the climate crisis to protect humanity’s future.       Dr. Brigham-Grette will be joined by two West Virginia University Professors, Dr. Amy Weislogel, Associate Professor of Sedimentary Geology, and Dr. Christopher J. Russoniello, Assistant Professor of Geology.  More information on all of these speakers is here at the registration page. The in-person venue will be a "smart conference room" at the WVU Media Innovation Center, in the Evansdale Crossing Building, 62 Morrill Way, Morgantown WV 26506. There will be audience seating, cameras and microphones for online participation, and a large screen displaying online speakers and audience questions.  Doors open at 6:30 PM USET, and the online program will go from 7:00 to 8:00 PM USET. Reservations are not required. WVU COVID protocols currently require masking. Don’t miss this unique chance to engage with these outstanding scientists who are joining this program to discuss the most important challenge of our time. The stakes could not be higher -- let's make them welcome!      We have more than 130 registrants so far – and for anyone in the Morgantown area, this will be a special gathering with other climate-concerned folks!  Please share this invitation with your friends, and I hope to see you, in-person or online! Tom Rodd, Director, West Virginia Center on Climate Change     To attend and participate in this program -- either online or in person -- register here. For more information, email in...@wvclimate.org. Thanks for your climate concerns! --     P.S. Please share this message with others who might be interested! They will appreciate it!
