Reminder: Nov. 10 Phoenix Climate Presentation
I will be making a free presentation in Phoenix on climate change and the science behind the skeptic's case. It is free to the public, and in answer to numerous inquiries, it is not sponsored or paid for by any organization and I am not promoting a book or any commercial product. This is simply my personal hobby and style of activism (e.g. cerebral lecture rather than circling around carrying a sign).
But here is the really interesting coincidence: It turns out Al Gore will be making the keynote address at the Greenbuild Conference in Phoenix on the next day (Nov 11). Those who would like to be immunized in advance against his silliness should come to my presentation the night before.
The web site and directions for the presentation are here. Nov 10 Climate Lecture Brochure (pdf). We have a pretty large auditorium, so everyone is welcome. Feel free to send the link or brochure to your friends in the area.
You can sign up for email updates on the event here.
Update: I can see the local climate is already reacting to Gore's visit, as we get an early dose of the Gore effect:
Temperatures in the Valley are expected to fall more than 20 degrees to the 60s by midweek, according to the National Weather Service.
Rob:
Why not formally invite Gore to your presentation?

@Rob - not a bad idea, even if just for fun.
I wish I could make it; unfortunately I'm too busy to take the time off and "do Phoenix."

I trust this can be watched online either live or shortly after the event by those that are unlucky enough to live thousands of miles away?

MSM is making sure the issue stays cloudy (no pun intended)

Too bad you can't show a picture of the 10 trees used for the Briffa spaghetti graph.

I wish I could come but I live too far away. I hope you have a full house.

@loneshark
October 26, 2009, 6:49 pmGood idea. I wonder how much extra that would cost?
How many connections could skype handle?... Of course posting on YouTube after would be great!
Craig:
Hope you have some security there to escort out the nutjobs who try to shout you down.

Quick question - will this be webcast live? I live up in cold MN, so I can't personally attend.
