Thin Ice

We are inviting the citizens of Warsaw (especially students) and delegates and observers at the COP19, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, meeting from 11 to 22 November in Warsaw.

The event runs from 15:00 – 19:00. The screening and the debate afterwards are free of charge.

The venue - part of a big concert hall tent – is made available by the Warsaw City Office. Another part of the tent will house exhibits on climate change. http://www.pkin.pl/en/

Discussion

A panel discussion is part of the event, with a speaker from the Climate Coalition, Urszula Stefanowicz, and a scientist – Dr Aleksandra Kardas, Institute of Geophysics, University of Warsaw.

We will discuss trust in science, and the importance of communicating climate research in an understandable way.

Dr Kardas works on the physics of the atmosphere, specifically on the role of the clouds in moderating radiative forcing. She will talk about her work, about the key myths of climate science and why they are false.
