Adult Forum with Shahir Masri

On the Road: Getting Clear on Climate with Dr. Shahir Masri

We’ve heard a lot about climate change but it’s hard to sort fact from fake news. Our Adult Forum will feature UCI air pollution scientist and Harvard graduate, Dr.  Shahir Masri discussing the world’s new climate reality. This young scientist is dedicating his career to making climate science understandable and resolving confusion around the issues global warming raises.

Last year Dr. Masri and educator Athina Simolaris went on a 12,000-mile road trip through 36 states. They spoke with over 800 school kids, scientists, workers and organizers about the climate reality in those parts of the country. This year they will visit more states, survey other groups and speak to more communities about the seriousness of global warming.  Hear what they’ve learned on their travels and ask about OC’s climate reality for the foreseeable future.

Dr.  Shahir Masri is the noted author of: Beyond Debate: 50 Misconceptions on Climate Change.  Copies of the book will be available
