Green Speaker Series: Climate Change

From severe droughts to stronger hurricanes, earth is experiencing dramatic changes due to rising temperatures. Come and learn about the basic science behind global warming, the effects it is having on our planet and what you can do to meet this challenge. This slide show presentation is based on the Academy Award winning movie "An Inconvenient Truth".

The speaker at April's Green Speaker Series event, sponsored by Town & Country's Green Team Commission, will be Brian Bozek, an Associate Professor of Mathematics at St. Louis Community College. Originally from Massachusetts, Brian came to the Midwest to obtain a graduate degree in mathematics from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville.

In 2007, Brian was accepted into Al Gore’s “Climate Training Project”. This initiative trained over 1,000 individuals from around the country to give the slide show presentation that was developed by Al Gore and highlighted in the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”. Since then, Brian has given over 35 presentations on this subject to groups ranging in diversity from church youth groups to college faculty members.
