[Sosfbay-discuss] Climate Change

[Caroline Yacoub]

Here is the list of lecture titles in the Earth at the Crossroads course.  I have watched one and found it a little dense. Three at a time might be a lot to chew on at once. It might make it more workable if those of you who plan to come would indicate which lectures seem most interesting to you. Also, for anyone who can't make Tuesdays, I am perfectly willing to have showings on another day or evening to accommodate you.
