Event Description:

The Technology Already Exists to Stabilize Global Warming
Wedges into the Climate Solution

Dr. Ron Sass, Rice University Professor Emeritus of Natural Sciences, will give a presentation on Wedges on Sunday, April 6, 2:30 to 3:30pm at First Unitarian Universalist Church. Each climate wedge provides an increasing part of the solution. All the wedges, added together, could get carbon emissions under control by 2054, said Princeton University scientists in a Scientific American article that is now the generally accepted vision of solutions. http://tinyurl.com/ynl68s The two scientists also said it is urgent that we must stop new carbon-polluting energy sources, such as coal plants. Any seven of the following fifteen possible wedges would be enough. Which would you choose?
