Speakers: Justin Anderson, Daniel Enderton. Between Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' and (UK) Channel 4's 'Global Warming Swindle', climate change has been in the media a lot lately and at times with contradictory perspectives. So what is the underlying science? This discussion will investigate some of the issues brought up in these movies and will challenge commonly held notions with a focus on better understanding of the science. This event is part of the MIT Energy Club Discussion Series. The Discussion Series is a biweekly document-based energy discussion series lead by graduate student experts in various energy areas. Key documents are distributed before each discussion and open discussion is moderated by the discussion leader. Past discussion topics have included "Biodiesel, The Other Biofuel", "Electric Grids", "CAFE Standards", and "Coal Power: Myths & Realities". Suggested preparation readings for upcoming discussions are available on our website.
