Warming Up to the Truth:
The Real Story About Climate Change
Currently at Harvard’s Smithsonian Center for
Astrophysics in the Solar, Stellar and Planetary Sciences Division, Dr. Sallie Baliunas, former Deputy Director of the Mount Wilson Institute, will speak about global warming and its causes. Perceived as controversial with other climate scientists,
Dr. Baliunas’ work with fellow Smithsonian Astronomer Willie Soon suggests that variations in air temperature (global warming) is more directly correlated to solar variability than increased levels of carbon dioxide. Dr. Baliunas received her M.A. (1975) and Ph.D. (1980) degrees in Astrophysics from Harvard University. She serves as Senior Scientist at the George C. Marshall Institute in Washington, DC, and chairs the Institute's Science Advisory Board. |
