--Apple-Mail-42--528293402 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Regular Monthly Meeting: Climate Change - Yea or Nay? Start: 18 Oct 2010 7:30 pm Changing climate, and global warming in particular, are all over the media today, and record-setting heat waves, floods and droughts are reported routinely. Various groups promote activism to limit emission of greenhouse gases, while others have questioned the validity of the human contribution. This lecture will examine the science behind changes in climate, what the record actually shows, and how the media have reacted to the issue. [NOTE: This meeting will be held in Room BAC 241 in the Beveridge Arts Centre, Acadia Univ.] Dr. Raeside is the head of the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at Acadia University. His degrees include B.Sc. from University of Aberdeen in 1976; M.Sc. from Queens University in 1978, and Ph.D. from University of Calgary in 1982. One of the courses he teaches at Acadia is Atmosphere, Weather, and Climate , which investigates the composition, structure, and dynamics of the atmosphere; weather, climate, and biogeographic patterns; microclimatology; paleoclimates, paleogeography, and extinctions; human effect on air quality; and climate change. = = ======================================================================== Patrick Kelly Director of Computer Facilities = = ======================================================================== Faculty of Architecture and Planning Dalhousie University = = ======================================================================== PO Box 1000 Stn Central 5410 Spring Garden Road Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2X4 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2X4 Canada Canada = = ======================================================================== Phone:(902) 494-3294 FAX:(902) 423-6672 E-mail:patrick.kelly@dal.ca = = ======================================================================== --Apple-Mail-42--528293402 Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div style=3D"word-wrap: = break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: = after-white-space; "><div><font class=3D"Apple-style-span" = face=3D"Palatino" size=3D"4"><span class=3D"Apple-style-span" = style=3D"font-size: 14px;"><br></span></font></div><div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; line-height: 36px; "><font color=3D"#274b34" = style=3D"font: 24.0px Georgia; color: #274b34"><font = class=3D"Apple-style-span" face=3D"Palatino" size=3D"4"><span = class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"font-size: 14px;">Regular Monthly = Meeting: Climate Change - Yea or Nay?</span></font></font></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; line-height: 15px; "><font class=3D"Apple-style-span" = color=3D"#767676" face=3D"Palatino" size=3D"4"><span = class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"font-size: 14px; line-height: = normal;"><br></span></font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: = 19px; "><font color=3D"#999999" style=3D"font: 13.0px Tahoma; color: = #999999"><b><font class=3D"Apple-style-span" face=3D"Palatino" = size=3D"4"><span class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"font-size: = 14px;">Start: </span></font></b></font><font style=3D"font: 13.0px = Tahoma"><font class=3D"Apple-style-span" face=3D"Palatino" = size=3D"4"><span class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"font-size: = 14px;">18 Oct 2010 7:30 pm</span></font></font></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; line-height: 19px; "><font class=3D"Apple-style-span" = color=3D"#999999" face=3D"Palatino" size=3D"4"><span = class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"font-size: 14px; line-height: = normal;"><b><br></b></span></font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: = justify; line-height: 19px; "><font color=3D"#2d2d2d" style=3D"font: = 12.0px Times New Roman; letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #2d2d2d"><font = class=3D"Apple-style-span" face=3D"Palatino" size=3D"4"><span = class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"font-size: 14px;">Changing climate, = and global warming in particular, are all over the media today, and = record-setting heat waves, floods and droughts are reported = routinely.
