The Greenfire Speaker Series has enlisted me to talk a bit about my work. So it is with this much fanfare that I announce that I will be giving a talk on U.S. electricity, carbon emissions, and global climate change:
Is it Warm in Here? The Great World Carbon Belch and Why It Is Probably Going to Get Worse
The talk is 8:30 p.m. in Sabin House and I guess everyone is welcome (Greenfire circulated some pretty cool posters).
Here’s a taste here, and the talk will draw heavily on these sources:
