What about that climate change? Madhav Khandekar, a former research scientist with Environment Canada, will discuss the controversial findings of Climate Change Reconsidered, a recent report by the Non-governmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC).
The talk will take place Wednesday, Feb 1, from 4 to 5:30pm, in the Harry Leith Room, 004 Atkinson College, Keele campus.
Khandekar will assess the present state of the Earth’s climate, as well as the possibility of the climate becoming significantly colder, rather than warmer, in the next decade or two.
