Global Warming Talk at April Meeting Join Dr. Steven Rudnick, environmental scientist at UNM, as he discusses the myths and facts about global warming. The scientific method is based on factual confirmation of hypotheses and none of the fundamental projections regarding global warming have been disproven. "Why then," he asks, "do we have so little action to mitigate the consequences ?" The meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 11, at the Unitarian Church in Santa Fe (corner of Galisteo and Barcelona Sts.) at 7:30 PM. This talk is co-sponsored by the Randall Davey Audubon Center. |
