(Media-Newswire.com) - AMHERST, Mass. - Raymond Bradley, Distinguished Professor of Geosciences and director of the Climate Research Center at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, will give a talk on "Climate Change and Global Warming" on Thursday, Feb. 3 at 4 p.m. in 318 Stockbridge Hall.
Bradley’s presentation is part of a new seminar series on "Climate, Energy, Biochar and Agriculture" at UMass Amherst and is free and open to the public.
Bradley was a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control ( IPCC ) Report on Climate Change and is the author of the book "Paleoclimatology: Reconstructing Climates of the Quaternary," which concluded that temperature in recent decades was the warmest it had been in more than 1,000 years.
Skeptics have criticized the report, some believing that global warming is not real. However, Bradley has requested that the 2006 report that criticized global warming findings be removed from the Congressional Record, saying it contains information plagiarized from his book.
The seminar series is being held by the Center for Agriculture and the department of plant, soil and insect sciences at UMass Amherst with the cooperation of the Pioneer Valley Biochar Initiative and the New England Small Farm Institute in Belchertown.
There will be about 10 seminar sessions led by experts on climate, renewable energy and its agricultural implications. All sessions take place at 4 p.m. on successive Thursdays in 318 Stockbridge Hall.
