Climate change expert to speak at Cal U.
A well-known expert on climate change will speak at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 23, in Eberly Hall 110 on the California University of Pennsylvania campus.
Dr. Michael Mann is a professor of atmospheric science at Penn State University. His presentation – “The Madhouse Effect: How Climate Change Denial Is Threatening Our Planet, Destroying Our Politics, and Driving Us Crazy” – will take a lighthearted approach to a very serious environmental issue.
His talk is based on his new book, “The Madhouse Effect,” which he co-authored with Washington Post editorial cartoonist Tom Toles. The book will be available for purchase on Sept. 23, and Mann will sign copies after his talk.
Mann has published two other books, “Dire Predictions: Understanding Climate Change” and “The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines.”
He is the director of the Penn State Earth System Science Center and the author of more than 200 peer-reviewed and edited publications. His post-graduate degrees, in physics, geology and geophysics, are from Yale University.
Admission to his lecture is free, and the public is welcome to attend.
