Hamden Public Library To Host Virtual Climate Talk

Press release from Hamden Public Library:

April 19, 2021

Explore science at the Hamden Public Library as we partner with the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History to offer science programming via Zoom. Participants benefit from the latest findings regarding local geology, evolutionary biology, and climate change. The next Zoom program is titled Ch-Ch Changes: Climate Today and in Earth's Past and takes place Wednesday, May 5, 6:30 to 7:30. The presenter is Tom Reershemius.

“Climate change isn’t a problem because the climate’s always changed.” It’s a common phrase to hear in arguments about human-caused climate change – but is it justified? We will delve into the record of climate through Earth’s history to find evidence for past changes, and ask what – if anything – is different this time. The presenter, Tom Reershemius, is a graduate student at Yale University in the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences.

This program is presented by the Hamden Public Library in cooperation with the Yale Peabody Museum Speakers Bureau.

The event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. Register online at www.hamdenlibrary.org (click on “Programs”) or call 203-287-2680. After signing up, you will receive a meeting link by email.
