It all comes down to this. The culmination of the studies of one class at ETSU is a public lecture on global warming to be presented on Wednesday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m. in Roger Stout room 118.
The students in Great Ideas in Science, a course for Sophomore Honors Scholars, are ready to address a variety of different issues associated with global warming in an attempt to assess the theory’s validity.
“This presentation encompasses a broad range of facts about global warming and will be much more informative than if we did individual presentations,” said Molly Noseworthy, ETSU sophomore honors scholar. “Not only the audience will gain more knowledge on the subject from our public lecture, but so will the students in the Great Ideas in Science class, including me.”
Contradictory information about global climate change has been circulating from varieties of sources in the media for quite some time. Part of the task the students have been confronted with is sorting through the clutter of information on the subject and providing the general public with reliable information from reliable sources.
Many in the class, including the professors, feel that it is vital that people get the correct information on global warming.
“Since global warming will impact every living organism on the planet, there are few issues that are more important to the future of civilization,” said Dr. Donald Luttermoser, chair ETSU’s physics department.
