Mike Mann, probably the best known and most outspoken US climate scientist is talking at UVM at 430 on October 10. The talk is in the Ira Allen chapel on the green and open to the public free of charge. You can see the poster at:

Mike will be speaking on the topic of: CLIMATE CHANGE DENIAL IN THE AGE OF TRUMP; his summary is below. Please spread the word. Hope to see many of you at the talk.

With the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States, climate denialism has reached the highest level of US government. Distraction, denial and delay, and the exploitation of fossil fuels, are standing in as policy. In this talk, I will review the scientific evidence of climate change, give the reasons we should care, and identify the efforts by special interests and partisan political figures to confuse the public, attack science and scientists, and deny the problem. I will also explain why, despite the challenges, I'm optimistic we will prevail and avert catastrophic climate change impacts.
