Peace Action to host climate talk at EPL, June 28 - Evanston RoundTable
Submitted by Chicago Area Peace Action
Seth Darling, a world leader in the fight against global warming—and chief of science and technology at the Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont—will speak at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 28, in the Community Room of the Evanston Public Library on “The Climate Crisis: WATT’S Next for Energy?”
His presentation will explore options to address carbon emissions, including climate adaptation, geoengineering, and decarbonization. Because some scientific and technical proposed solutions may have a downside or involve risks, participants will be encouraged to consider all concerns in discussion with Dr. Darling as part of the Q and A.
Darling, who has secured twenty patents and written 150 articles, has won numerous awards for his development of water-related technologies designed to preserve energy and fight the warming of temperatures.
An author of the books Water Is . . . and How to Change our Minds about our Changing Climate, Darling was a developer of the Oleo Sponge, which cleans up ocean oil spills, absorbing ninety times its weight in oil both beneath and above the surface.
He is known for his ability to speak to popular audiences and to bring hope and practical answers to the issue of climate change. The event, sponsored by Chicago Area Peace Action (CAPA), is free to the public.
