Climate change

On Thursday, Sept. 25, from 7 to 8 p.m., Stephen Pekar, a geology professor at Queens College, will discuss climate change. He has been
investigating past climate and oceanographic changes during times (16-45 million years ago) when CO2 was as high as what is predicted for this century (500-1000 ppm). As CO2 is rising rapidly today, which is predicted to be like putting our climate on a “hot plate”, exploring these times for him is like “Looking Back to Our Future”.
