Global warming: scientific basis
Tonight's event is the second in the series Science & Cocktails and consists of a lecture by the climate physicist Peter Ditlevsen, and a presentation on cocktails by Kirsten Holm from K Bar.
First, Kirsten Holm will talk about cocktails and world development, focusing on America.
Next, Peter Ditlevsen will introduce the audience to the physics of climate and climate change. He will tell about the model we are using to project climate change and why climate change is a source of concern. Ditlevsen will also scratch up how the climate has changed in the past and what it can tell us about future climate.
After the two presentations there will be cocktails and good music in the bar.
