Joint Program scientists will demonstrate the Greenhouse Gamble and answer questions about global climate change during an interactive presentation where visitors will get a chance to spin the wheel. News headlines about climate change often mention the predictions of climate models. Where do these models come from, and what are their strengths and weaknesses? How do current climate trends compare with climate events throughout Earth's geologic history? And, how will climate change affect us?
At 12:30 p.m., Dr. Adam Schlosser of the MIT Joint Program will present "Climate Change: What Are the Odds?"

For Earth Science Week 2009, Museum presenters and visiting researchers answer your questions about climate. During Sunday's kickoff event, attend live presentations led by guest scientists and participate in hands-on activities geared toward exploring climate science. The rest of the week features 2:30 p.m. daily presentations on how humans both influence climate change and are impacted by it.
