Union of Concerned Scientists - San Francisco Report


There are a number of events planned around the 100th Anniversary of the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. Here is an offering that stands out above many of the rest. While it does not retroactively deal with the 1906 event, it does focus on the present and future dangers that face us.

The Union of Concerned Scientists Climate Scientist Amy Lynd Luers will be the keynote speaker at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on Monday, April 17. The program begins at 6:00 p.m., preceded by a reception at 5:30. Amy has been asked to speak about the state's recently released Climate Action Team report.

Amy served on the scientific coordinating team for this widely-publicized report. The report concluded that if global-warming emissions continue unabated, temperatures could rise as much as 8-10 degrees by the end of the century, with serious impacts expected for California's public health, water supply, ecosystems, and economy. Amy will highlight the latest science and explain why it’s urgent that we take steps immediately to dramatically reduce our global warming emissions.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased on-line here.
