Lunch & Learn- A Holistic Approach to Solving the Climate Crisis-January 15 at noon

On Wednesday, January 15, we welcome Stephen Penningroth to the Southworth Library for a discussion of a holistic approach to solving the climate crisis. Learn how solar geoengineering, if shown to be safe, might help the climate crisis by temporarily reflecting a small portion of sunlight back into space. With a look at a combination of emissions reduction, CO2 removal, and sunlight reflection, this talk will provide information about new ideas for addressing global warming and restoring a healthy climate. Join us for this great opportunity to learn about diverse approaches to tackling one of the most pressing global challenges.

Light refreshments served. Bag lunches are welcome.

Stephen Penningroth had a varied career in academia and the nonprofit sector, teaching and doing research in cell biology and environmental toxicology at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and Cornell, providing technical consulting services to communities impacted by Superfund toxic waste sites, and founding the Community Science Institute in Ithaca in 2000 and directing it until his retirement in 2022. As someone who believes in public science, his goal is to provide the public with information on the big picture issues in the climate crisis, particularly the key role of Earth’s energy imbalance.
