Come to the Mayo High School Planetarium to listen to a lecture from the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. The Kavli Foundation Fulldome Lecture Series presents Dr. Daniel P. Schrag, director of the Harvard University Center for the Environment. The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide due to burning coal, oil, and gas represents an unprecedented experiment on the planet Earth. We don’t know exactly how the experiment will unfold, but the history of Earth and its neighboring planets provide hints of what’s to come: Over the next few decades, Earth’s atmosphere will return to a state not seen for millions of years. The geologic record raises many questions that climate science has yet to answer, and these surprises may expose our greatest vulnerabilities. Taken together, the evidence suggests that the coming century will test the human species like never before, challenging our ingenuity and capacity for innovation as we strive to fend off a global catastrophe. We will listen to Dr. Schrag, who will be in Chicago, while the Adler technicians control the planetarium dome here in Rochester, Minnesota. Join us for this unique experience. Seating begins at 7:00 pm. Please arrive to the Mayo High School Planetarium on time as there is no late seating. Please enter through door #6 at Mayo High School.
