Climate Change: New Data, New Debate (Online via YouTube)

The field of climate change is constantly changing, and every shift brings new levels of scientific disinformation. For example, recent analysis has emerged on RCP8.5, a global scenario with a worst case outcome that has been scaled back as the costs of renewable energy have fallen. While one particularly extreme model for warming has become more optimistic, the overall outlook remains worrisome. The response to this news, unsurprisingly, has re- ignited attacks on climate research. On June 22, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists will host a live dialogue on YouTube with the authors of a recently published article explaining these new developments, the political debate around it, and how to understand the current outlook using the most recent data.

Registration for the event and information on its speakers can be found here.
