"The 2% Solution" Asks What's It Cost to Fight Climate Change?
|
Wed, Jan. 30 @ 8 pm
GreenQuad Learning Center / BA 005 (Belk Auditorium) on USC Campus
A consensus has emerged from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), arguably the gold standard in climate science, that failing to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 80% before 2050 may push humanity past a tipping point of no return. What will a 2% reduction every year after 2010 mean for our country? For the world?
This film initiates a nationwide global warming "teach-in" called Focus the Nation, and faces the challenge of a 2% Solution.
For additional information on “The 2% Solution,” contact Thomas Chandler @ (803) 576-8004 or at greenere@gwm.sc.edu.
