From the New York Times to Donald Trump, everyone has an opinion and on Climate Change. As Dan Pogue of CBS puts it, “You've got the scientists going "Burning fossil fuels heats the atmosphere. Record temperatures. Extreme weather!"
And then you've got the skeptics going, "Don't be silly! The Earth has always had warming cycles. Human activity has nothing to do with it."
And on Sunday, December 20th at 9AM, The Men’s Action Club is honored to have Adam Kalkstein, Associate Professor at the United States Military Academy aka West Point speak on this topic, too.
