Redpath Museum 859 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montreal, QC, H3A 0C4, CA

By Dr. Andrew D. Miall, Department of Geology, University of Toronto. Climate change and energy issues are complex, and key points are commonly simplified in order to make an important point. While this may help with public understanding of complex scientific or economic issues, it can result in distortion or misrepresentation. This lecture discusses the six climate change myths. Organized by the Royal Society of Canada and 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ University with the express purpose of fostering communication between scientists in different disciplines as well as between scientists and the public. Sponsored by the Royal Society of Canada, Cutting Edge lectures are made possible through the generous support of Heather Munroe-Blum (91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ Principal), Richard Levin (Dean of Medicine), Martin Grant (Dean of Science), Anthony Masi (Provost) and Denis Thérien (Vice-Principal, Research and International Relations). Lectures are followed by a wine & cheese reception. Free, everyone welcome.
