When it comes to the issue of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change, some assert that there is consensus among scientists and the debate is over. Others disagree. Regardless of which side of the debate one is on, most agree that there are likely to be significant political, environmental, economic and life style consequences of any major policy decision on this issue.
The Idaho Council on Industry and Environment and the Idaho Office of the Northwest Power & Conservation Council are sponsoring Practical Paths: Understanding the Science and Politics of Climate Change workshop at the Airport Holiday Inn in Boise, Idaho, Tuesday, September 28 and Wednesday, September 29.
The workshop will examine the scientific method, and what it tells us (or fails to tell us) about climate change. After over two decades of research, why are the various camps still questioning each other? What role does computer modeling play, how accurate is the data, and how do the resulting forecasts and uncertainty around them translate into actionable conclusions?
Our speakers will also outline and examine current legislative and regulatory efforts to impact climate change, and their relative success compared to other public policy options.
