From amara at amara.com Sat Feb 9 05:59:01 2008 From: amara at amara.com (Amara Graps) Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 22:59:01 -0700 Subject: [Exi-bay-announce] Cafe Scientifique at SRI: Schneider: The Science of Global Warming Message-ID: If I were there, I wouldn't miss this one... -Amara --0-- Cafe Scientifique at SRI Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - 6 - 7:30 p.m. Steve Schneider, PhD Professor, Department of Biological Sciences Stanford University will discuss: The Science of Global Warming, the Nobel Peace Prize and Prospects for Needed Policy Changes SRI Menlo Park Middlefield Road at Ringwood - Dining Room in the International Building Map and directions at http://www.cafescipa.org/sridirections.html. Do not park at SRI's main entrance at 333 Ravenswood Ave. Entrances to Conference Center parking are next to the church on Ravenswood and at Ringwood and Middlefield. -------0000------- Professor Schneider has studied global warming for over 35 years, beginning with his work as a postdoctoral fellow at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (1971) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (1972). In 1992, he was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship for his work in global climate research. He is a leading publisher and renowned thought leader on global warming and related ecological, economic and public policy issues. He also has a strong, tireless commitment to public education. He has been actively involved with the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), an initiative of the United Nations Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization, since its origin in 1988. The IPCC has produced four assessment reports and Professor Schneider has been a key contributor in each. He was a Core Writer on the 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report which is being used by governments world-wide as the most up-to-date, credible document regarding climate change science, impacts, adaptation, vulnerability, and mitigation until 2012. On December 10, 2007, the IPCC and Albert Gore were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change." Professor Schneider received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Plasma Physics from Columbia University in 1971. He is Co-Director of the Stanford Center for Environmental Science and Policy (CESP) and Co-Director of the Stanford Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources (IPER). Cafe Scientifique events are open to all free of charge. No reservations are necessary. For more information please visit our web site: http://www.cafescisv.org/ .

Sign up on the web site to receive announcements. Sponsored by ROXRO PHARMA and SRI, Cafe Scientifique is a place where anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology and debate science issues outside a traditional academic context. We meet monthly to discuss a variety of science topics. Coffee, tea and biscotti will be complimentary, provided by SRI - Bring your own mug if you wish to avoid using disposable cups. Courtesy of Kepler's there will be a drawing for a $30 gift card for books or merchandise at Kepler's on El Camino Real in Menlo Park. Those who choose to enter the drawing will have their names added to the Kepler's mailing list.

Because that's my filter for the subject. No one who claims to believe in anthropogenic global warming, and who claims it's a big deal, but who is NOT in favor of nuclear power, is obviously lying about their beliefs.

After shopping at Fry's I looked back at the printed announcement and realized that it started at 6:00! So I missed the actual talk. Sorry! I browsed Schneider's work and Web site, but couldn't find his position on nuclear power. He does have some interesting pages on how to be a scientist-advocate who has to deal with the press and its quirks, and also with science and its values. - David David C.
