Wrigley Lecture Series
The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery
April 9, 2008 4:40 pm
Arizona State University Tempe Campus, Neeb Hall

Drawing on the ideas from his groundbreaking new book, Tim Flannery presents a straightforward and powerful exploration of the connection between climate change, global warming, and human activity. He has a gift for making complex science understandable for a lay audience, through a deft use of imagery, analogy and common sense. But Flannery does not just tell his audience what is happening to our planet. He very clearly lays out a game plan for halting current warming trends and beginning the long, but entirely achievable project of reversing the damage we have done. His goal is to mobilize his listeners—both personally and politically—to recognize that we are all “weather makers” and that the only choice, both logically and ethically, is to begin to address this problem before it’s too late.

There are Earth Day events going on all over the state this month and I’m working to compile as many of them as I can on this site. I made a new page under the main menu to list them by city. I’m still working on adding events, but if you know about one and don’t see it let me know. Here’s a link to the Earth Day events page. Click Here
