Hi,

I thought some of you might be interested in this talk I will be
giving Friday, October 21, 2011, 3pm in Innovation Hall room 136

"Climate for Energy Change: A Time for Bridges, not Tunnels"

Although the consensus of climate scientists is that a significant
fraction of global warming is human-caused, there is a rising level of
public skepticism about the matter in the U.S. How and why that
skepticism developed will be discussed, and how clean energy can be
the bridge across the political chasm to deal with the matter in a way
that is sound both politically, economically and technologically. A
brief description of programs dealing with renewable energy at the
graduate and undergraduate levels at Mason will also be presented if
time permits.
