"Solar Storm Violence Coming This Year! Is the Earth Ready…?"

How will we be affected by the violent storms that are now occurring on the sun? Blackouts? Radiation? Radio failures?

Professor Lathrop will be discussing the complicated relationships between our star and our home planet… and us! We look forward to seeing you there!

Join us TONIGHT for our second lecture of the spring semester titled, "More Snow in Recent Winters... Global Warming, Fact or Fiction?" with Dr. Robert Hudson, Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science.

Date: April 16, 2012
Time: 6pm - 7pm
Location: Bioscience Research Building room 1101
Why: There is a common belief that because the U.S. has received more snow in recent years, that the temperature in the winter months has become colder, not warmer as predicted. In this lecture we will examine the evidence and the arguments to determine if this claim against global warming is justified.

We hope to see you there!
