Part of the WALTER P. KISTLER LECTURE SERIES presented by FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE. This Foundation For the Future lecture—the third of its Walter P. Kistler Lecture Series—features University of Washington professor of biology and earth and space sciences Peter D. Ward, who is also the author of over a dozen highly regarded books. His lecture, "Our Flooding World," is drawn from the same research that informs his newest book, The Flooded Earth: Our Future in a World Without Ice Caps (Basic). "NASA astrobiologist Ward describes the disastrous changes that can be expected as sea levels continue their accelerating rise due to global warming. Drawing on recent studies, the author writes that there will be massive flooding—far more than currently predicted—of world coastlines, home to more than 200 million people ... to avoid disastrous global warming ... [Ward writes], humans must not only reduce greenhouse gases; they must change behaviors (stop using coal, eliminate the suburbs and private vehicles) and engineer new climate-protecting techniques ... A blunt, vivid warning." - Kirkus Reviews. Free admission. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca).
