The Physics of Climate Change with Lawrence Krauss

Betty here. I’m Co-Organizer of the North York Physics Group (NYPG) as well as Organizer of this group and Climate Change TORONTO (CCT). I’d like to invite you to NYPG’s showing of a video featuring Lawrence Krauss, Theoretical Physicist and Cosmologist, host of The Origins Podcast and president of The Origins Fondation, talking about his latest book, The Physics of Climate Change (2021)..
……..‘The first book to briefly and clearly present the science of climate change, providing the perspective needed to understand and assess the foundations and predictions of climate change.’
BTW..I’ve read the book. Well done!

After Prof. Krauss’s talk, we’ll have Q&A and further discussion about climate change.

Core NYPG members Betty (me) and Linda (NYPG’s resident Scientist) will moderate what will be a most informative event. If you want to know the latest about climate change I hope you will join us! And if so, don’t miss the info below about Connecting to the Meeting.

About the book, The Physics of Climate Change

"The distinguished scientist Lawrence Krauss turns to the most pressing existential threat facing our world: climate change. It is brimming with information lucidly analysed. Such hope as there is lies in science, and a physicist of Dr. Krauss's imaginative versatility is unusually qualified to offer it." --Richard Dawkins, author of The Blind Watchmaker and Science in the Soul

About Lawrence Maxwell Krauss:

Lawrence Krauss directed The Origins Project at Arizona State University and was a professor at ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration and Department of Physics. He retired from ASU in May 2019.

Krauss is an internationally known theoretical physicist with wide research interests, including the interface between elementary particle physics and cosmology, focusing on the origin and evolution of the Universe and the fundamental structure of matter. He has written more than 300 scientific publications and 10 popular books, including the international best-sellers, "The Physics of Star Trek," and "A Universe from Nothing".. He writes regularly for magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times and the New Yorker, and frequently appears on radio and television, as well as, most recently, in several feature films. Among his numerous awards are included the highest awards from all three U.S. physics societies and the 2012 Public Service Award from the National Science Board.
