About this Event
We will be hosting our monthly Climate Science and Energy Engineering Dinner on the second Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm. .
The event will be at the see , by 9th Ave & 34th St in Manhattan, within easy reach of the A/C/E & 7 subways, and one block from Penn / Moynihan station. The diner has a large menu with affordable prices, generous portions, and is willing to do separate checks for a large group, with everybody using their own credit card.
The topics of conversation will be
Climate Science: you have to be able to debate climate science in order to reach out to conservatives, and also, even if you don't talk with conservatives, there is a lot of controversy over just how bad things will get, and how fast.
Energy Engineering: We have to decarbonize the economy, but there are many unresolved / controversial issues to discuss -- which zero carbon sources of energy are preferable, how to decarbonize transportation, particularly aviation. To get public cooperation, we have to figure out a path to decarbonize that won't involve too much negative impact on per capita GDP, or too much disruption to our way of life.
Most of the leadership of climate organizations are not chosen for their technical expertise, which has been very unfortunate. For many years, poorly-informed environmental leaders have been making drastic, dire predictions that have failed to materialize, undermining the credibility of the movement, and advocating expensive, infeasible approaches to decarbonization, promoting a backlash.
