Recently Harvard Astrophysicist Dr. Willie Soon followed up visits to the University of Denver and the University of Minnesota with a trip to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Here Dr. Soon continued to educate students and other interested parties on the realities of CO2 and its impact on global temperatures.

Dr. Willie Soon explains the “hockey stick” model.

Mixing in humor and science, Dr. Soon reached a wide audience and was able to show the realities of this complex issues in ways many could understand. Some even stayed well past the event to discuss what they heard amongst each other and Dr. Soon.

Many students and community members stuck around late to talk with Dr. Soon and each other.

“A lot of what I hear about global warming is pretty one sided, ” said Kevin Norton, who drove from Milwaukee to hear Dr. Soon speak. “And it was really nice to see the other side of the issue. After hearing Dr. Soon speak I have a totally different take on everything. It was definitely well worth the drive.”
