Friends of Science 16th Annual Event
“Polar Bears and Solar Flares”
We are pleased to announce a Climate Change Science evening featuring two excellent speakers who fight climate dogma and detractors every day. Please join us on April 10th for our Friends of Science Annual Event.
Polar Bears: Researcher and Author – Dr. Susan Crockford: "Polar Bears: Too Hot to Handle" will be speaking about how a thriving species like the polar bear came to be classified as ‘threatened’ with extinction based on untested computer models. This is the story of what happened when Dr. Crockford challenged that determination and showed that the models had failed: sea ice declined abruptly but polar bear numbers did not. A few rooster biologists and some proponents of catastrophic man-made global warming made unseemly attacks on Dr. Crockford but could not stop the erosion of public support regarding their messages of doom.
Dr. Crockford's brand new book “The Polar Bear Catastrophe that Never Happened” will be available for purchase at the event as well as her novel (EATEN) and polar bear science book for kids (Polar Bear Facts & Myths).
Solar Flares: Astrophysicist - Dr. Willie Soon: "The Sun Also Warms"
As a northern country with vast agricultural lands, solar activity cycles have long been suspected to have direct effects on Canada’s climate. In this talk, Dr. Soon will probe the long history in the quest to understand Sun-climate connections. Specifically he will present the rather surprising new evidence on how the Sun effects climate in Canada. Solar impacts are many and can cause significant changes in climate.
These presentations are designed for the general public. No special economics or climate science knowledge required.
