Global Warming - Greg Fishel and Gary Lackman

Porters Tavern, 2412 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh

Global Warming! Those two words usually get a rise out of most people for various reasons. There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to climate change, and scientists are still wrestling with the complexity of this topic. Dr. Gary Lackman, associate professor of meteorology at NC State University, and Greg Fishel, Chief Meteorologist at WRAL-TV, will discuss global warming. Ask questions and voice your opinion. Come join us for a lively and informative evening!
Science Cafe is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore current topics in science and technology. In conjunction with local Triangle Sigma Xi chapters, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences will host a series of monthly talks with the goal of promoting discussion of science in a community setting. Our Science Cafe programs will take place in coffee shops, bars and restaurants around Raleigh.
