Climate change ... how much do you think about it?  Cork it, it's not enough. Some say we're doomed to climate catastrophe, while others argue concerns are overblown and we should focus on expanding fossil fuel production in a bid for "energy dominance." Dana Nuccitelli, our speaker, will dissect both sides and make a case that while climate changes poses an immense challenge, with the help of clean technologies, addressing the climate crisis while meeting our energy needs is entirely possible.

Who is Dana Nuccitelli? He is an environmental scientist with a bachelor's degree in astrophysics from UC Berkeley and a master's degree in physics from UC Davis. He is the Research Manager for the nonprofit climate advocacy group Citizens' Climate Lobby and a climate journalist who has written for Skeptical Science since 2010, for The Guardian from 2013 to 2018, and for Yale Climate Connections since 2018. Dana has also published 10 peer-reviewed climate papers, most notably on the 97% expert consensus among climate scientists that humans are primarily responsible for the observed global warming since 1950. What a guy.
