Dinner Program
Popular and political discussions of the changing climate invariably invoke “The Science” as settled. But as theoretical physicist Steven Koonin, University Professor at New York University and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, will describe, a careful reading of the research literature and government assessment reports shows a different picture. Author of the bestselling book Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters, he will describe some of the surprises in the official science that belie the notion that we’ve already broken the climate and face certain doom unless we take prompt and drastic action and will suggest some pragmatic conclusions about national and international climate policies.
