[Climate change hoax promotion] the topic of 2011 Robert M. Walker Distinguished Lecture Series
Charles F. Kennel, PhD, chair of the National Academy of Sciences’ Space Studies Board, will deliver the fourth annual Robert M. Walker Distinguished Lecture at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19, in Room 100, Whitaker Hall, at Washington University in St. Louis.

Kennel will discuss “Managing Climate Risk: Precarious Decades Ahead” during the free lecture that is free and open to the public.

“Will we be able to avoid major climate change in our children’s lifetimes?” Kennel asks.

The answer is “no,” he says. In fact, we’re doing worse than expected.

“The climate is further from stabilization than we thought just a few years ago,” Kennel says. “Carbon dioxide emissions and sea level are rising faster than the ‘business as usual’ projections made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2007. Significant climate change appears inevitable, but we do not know how much.
...
Thus, he concludes, we are in for “some precarious decades,” and all the more so because “air pollution has been protecting us from two-thirds of the warming expected from our present concentrations of greenhouse gases,” he says.
