DESCRIPTION:

Guided by our very own physics and astronomy expert, we’ll explore various aspects of this complex and often controversial topic, such as the causes of global warming (some say population and affluence might be underlying factors) and how to mitigate its effects. We will look at the geological record; enjoy images from space; explore the arguments made by skeptics; and learn lessons from our two closest planetary neighbors, Mars and Venus.  A highlight will be a visit to the National Ice Core Laboratory at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood.
