Given All the Scientific Understanding, Why All the Contention? with Dr. Michael MacCracken
July 27, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm PDT
Cost: Sliding ScaleAbout the Event
While the scientific community has come to unprecedented international scientific agreement on the causes of climate change and what needs to be done to stop it, there remains significant contention about the issue. At least part of the reason for this is the different decision-making frameworks of those involved in the decision-making and a seeming failure for widely respected figures to coalesce the disparate voices around a vision of the future that we can work toward while also valuing the past contributions of fossil fuel and providing a safety net for those who have worked so hard in that effort.
