Join us at Lakeview Museum for an exploration of the science of climate change, presented by volunteers from Global Warming Solutions Group.Workshops, seminars and hands-on activities exploring climate science will take place all weekend. Global climate change is a hot button scientifically, politically and socially. NASA believes its important for people to separate fact from fiction in order to make informed decisions and choices and understand their individual role in global change. To encourage people to become involved in this global phenomenon, events will be held to raise awareness of climate change and provide current, accurate, reliable information on the topic, direct from the scientists conducting the research.
