Global Warming: Hot Topics

Hi Friends- our summer adult ed series, "Hot Topics," finished with a great finale on global warming and climate change- many thanks to our guest leader, Eric Scott from the San Bernardino County Museum. We're thinking we should take a group trip there to learn more!
As promised, here are the book names and authors which he mentioned:
Plows, Plagues and Petroleum, by William F. Ruddiman
Rogue Nation, Clyde Prestowitz
Field Notes from a Catastrophe, Elizabeth Kolbert
The Weather Makes, Tim Flannery

Copies of the article Rev. Petra handed out, "Hot and Bothered, Facing up to global warming" by Bill McKibben are available in the office.

And, another article by Bill McKibben in the most recent Christian Century, "De-Creation"

And, look here soon for more information about our church's free showing of "An Incovenient Truth," coming in October.

Cool breezes to you all.
