SUMMARY:General Meeting – September 2025
DESCRIPTION: Join Zoom\n\nThis meeting’s speaker will present inperson from the Chapman campus.\nPathway to a\n  \nPost-Global Warming Future\n  \n— A Brief Overview of Climate Science\,\n  \nConsequences\, and Solutions\n  \n(and their astronomical connections!)\n  \n \n  \nGlobal warming may not seem obviously connected to astronomy — but it is. In fact\, the basic science of global warming is best understood through comparative study of planets. In this presentation\, astrophysicist/educator Jeffrey Bennett will give you a brief overview of the surprisingly simple basic science behind global warming (including its astronomical connections) and of the consequences we can expect from this warming. Most important\, he’ll focus on solutions and how we can in principle take the steps necessary to create a “post-global warming” future\, meaning a future in which today’s children will someday be able to talk about global warming as a once-serious problem that we found a way to solve. Note: This talk is based on Dr. Bennett’s book A Global Warming Primer — Pathway to a Post-Global Warming Future. \n \nAstrophysicist/educator Jeffrey Bennett has devoted his career to science education and outreach. He is probably best known to the astronomy community as the lead author of the widely used textbooks The Cosmic Perspective and Life in the Universe. He is also the author of textbooks in math and statistics; of several critically acclaimed books for educators and the public; and of 7 award-winning science books for children. He served two years as a visiting senior scientist at NASA headquarters\, proposed and co-led development of the Voyage Scale Model Solar System on the National Mall (Washington\, D.C.)\, created the free Totality app for learning about solar eclipses\, and created a free online textbook for middle school Earth and Space Science. Among other honors\, his children’s books were the first ever selected for Story Time From Space\, in which books are launched to the International Space Station and read aloud by astronauts\, and he has won both the American Institute of Physics Science Communication Award (2014) and the Klopsteg Memorial Award (2023) for education from the American Association of Physics Teachers. In addition to his ongoing speaking series on global warming\, his current projects include working to spread Voyage model solar systems across the country\, a planetarium show based on his book Max Goes to Mars\, and a new book on The Scale of the Universe to be published in January. \nViews: 24
