ABRUPT CLIMATE CHANGE
Presentation by Dr. Guy R. McPherson
Conservation biologist Dr. Guy McPherson is the leading expert on the risk of near-term human extinction due to abrupt climate change. He is internationally known for his synthesis of research on abrupt climate change, as fueled by irreversible, self-reinforcing feedback loops in the climate system, triggered by human CO2 emissions. Dr. McPherson will speak about our collective response to Earth’s newest phase of accelerated warming. Dr. McPherson is an award-winning Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources & Ecology, and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. Dr. McPherson has written a dozen books on the environment. He has been seen with Bill Nye on National Geographic Explorer.
