What we’re about
If you don't believe in supernatural entities or powers, if you are concerned about religious intolerance or religiously motivated violence, if you rely on human reasoning and science to guide your decisions and behavior, if you have a naturalistic view of the world, or you just don't believe in God or gods, you are not alone. The Boulder Atheists group provides presentations, meetings, and serves as a social community for atheists, agnostics, rationalists, secular humanists, Brights, and free thinkers in and around Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette, Broomfield, and surrounding communities in Northern Colorado.
Boulder Atheists wish to promote the understanding and acceptance of atheism with public education, good deeds, public activities and affiliations with other local and national secular groups. We strive to be inclusive to ALL and promote gender equality, LGBTQ equality and racial justice.

- Monthly Meeting: Existential Climate ChangeBoulder Public Library - Main Library, Boulder, CO
Join us for this talk by biologist Jonathan Stickel, Ph.D. titled:
Existential Climate Change: Using science, philosophy, and psychology to comprehend the future of humankind on a warming planet.Anthropogenic climate change poses a serious threat to humanity and Earth as we know it. For several decades, the accepted approach for mitigating climate change has been focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. What we need to do, climate activists claim, is to avoid using energy where we can, use existing energy more efficiently, and to convert energy sources from fossil fuels to renewables. Although these conservation and technical solutions are available, for a cost, they are not being implemented nearly fast enough. Considering the potentially massive magnitude and scope of climate change, assuredly altering human life and the entire Earth in profound ways, it is worth taking a step back and looking at climate change with a broader lens. Drawing on knowledge from science, philosophy, and psychology, this presentation examines the likely outcomes of climate change, why so little progress is being made to mitigate it, and what it means if we
ultimately do not succeed.Jonathan Stickel, Ph.D., is a Director of R&D at Carbon America, a startup company developing and deploying carbon-capture technology. He has 20+ years of national-lab and industrial experience leading and performing R&D for carbon capture, energy sustainability, biofuels, and biopharmaceuticals.
