CCM- Global Climate Change: The Science Is In – Now What? Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Dr. Steve Running, 1/18, Missoula

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.
