Climate change expert Stephen Schneider to speak at UO

Stephen H. Schneider, one of the world's leading experts in atmospheric research, will deliver the Robert D. Clark Lecture on Tuesday, March 4, at the University of Oregon.

Schneider, a professor of biology and environmental studies at Stanford University, says that much can be done to reduce the magnitude of the risks associated with global warming if only citizens can summon the political will to take decisive collective action -- soon.

The talk, "Global Warming: How Do We Manage the Risks?" will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Room 182 of the Lillis Business Complex, 955 E. 13th Ave.

Schneider is a MacArthur Fellow, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and an active participant on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- the international scientific body that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former Vice-President Al Gore.
