About the talk:
Our Challenges with Climate Change Mitigation
Dr. Muñoz will discuss the challenges of responding to dissenting opinions (sometimes referring to our complex, global and existential climate change problem as “the Great Hoax”) and the physical, social and ethical consequences if we fail to succeed in at least partial mitigation.
