Common Sense on Climate
Saturday, March 8, 2008 @ 7 PM

What we know, what we think we might know, and what we don't know about climate. Mark Breen, Senior Meteorologist for the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury and for the Vermont Public Radio program Eye On The Sky will get past the hype, the rhetoric, and the media, to present a basic look at climate. Breen's program will include discussions about what we know about past and present climate, the progress being made in understanding this very complex system, and where current research is taking us.
