Is It Time to Panic About Climate Change? (with Dr. Alan White)

Back to All Presentations

The science of climatology is in an early stage of development, so it is difficult to be certain how serious the risk of climate change is. Many politicians and climatologists say that it is time to take immediate, radical actions, with little regard for the consequences of those actions. However, when the small amount of data that we do have is put into a longer-term perspective, panic does not seem warranted. Two things are certain: the global temperature has been rising slowly for about 400 years, and we must take God’s command to care for the earth seriously.

This event is free with paid museum admission or museum membership. Seating is first come, first served.
