It's all done! We've got all the speakers we need for the climate change seminar! We started off with some disappointment, many of the speakers we had originally targeted wanted a fee plus expenses. Not something we can easily afford, not as a small non-profit and not in this economy. So, we started to look closer to home...the response was amazing. We have professors and meteorologists from local universities and the city speaking at the seminar. Heres the line up:
John Nielson-Gammon - Texas A&M
John Anderson - Rice University
Barry Lefer - University of Houston
Dr. Peter Bishop - University of Houston
Jill Hasling - Weather Research Center
Bruce McCarl - Texas A&M
Tom Wysmuller - Climate Change lecturer - After dinner speaker
Robert Harriss - HARC
John Hofmeister - CEO of citizens for affordable energy
Karl Pepple - City of Houston Environmental Programming Director
Who is speaking when hasn't been fully decided yet other than Dr. Bishop going on around 4pm and Tom Wysmuller. That should be decided soon and will be posted here and on the WRC website. Look for flyers at just about every public place also. This event is free and open to the public.
Earth Day planning is underway. Thanks to Vaisala, we now have a sponsor. This should be our best Earth Day/ Birthday ever. This event is also free and open to the public. We're already expecting big crowds.
Look for us on facebook and twitter:
