About this event
The current study of climate change is both a
complicated and controversial phenomenon.
Newspapers, editorials, internet websites, and
television programs continue to grapple with this
issue, and through the complex science, seek to
provide relevant analyses. The purpose of this
symposium is to understand the issue of climate
change outside of polemic initiatives and instead
through its fundamental context. Although this is
impossible to accomplish in one evening, the
scope of the presentations today nevertheless
provide a standard narrative of the scientific
community that global warming must be first
analyzed as an objective phenomenon and second,
by the technology and policies that work to
mitigate its effects.
