CCM- Global Climate Change: The Science Is In – Now What? Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Dr. Steve Running, 1/18, Missoula
| January 7, 2008 |  View for printing |
City Club Missoula http://www.cityclubmissoula.org is honored to host Nobel Peace Prize-winning climate change scientist Dr. Steve Running of the University of Montana at City Club Missoula’s January 18 forum.
Dr. Running will talk about what’s ahead on an Earth plagued by global warming. The path we are on is unsustainable, Running has said repeatedly, and people now have the chance to change the course of the whole world. But it will require a big transition for society during the next 50 years.
Dr. Running has worked nearly 30 years as a University of Montana ecologist and as a member of the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change, which was formed in 1988. The panel of scientists and researchers provided nearly all the information for former Vice President Al Gore’s film on global warming, “An Inconvenient Truth” and, in October, shared the Nobel with Gore.
Dr. Running is known for his compelling, understandable talks in which he shows data that predict snow receding from Montana ski areas and summer wildfires increasing in length and intensity. A bicycle commuter, he also has a knack for showing people how they can make a difference in the future of the planet.
