Stephen Schneider will talk about how much more could be done to substantially reduce the magnitude of the risks associated with global warming if only we can summon the political will to take decisive action—soon.

Schneider is the founder and editor of the interdisciplinary journal, Climatic Change. He is editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Climate and Weather and author of The Genesis Strategy: Climate and Global Survival; The Coevolution of Climate and Life; Global Warming: Are We Entering the Greenhouse Century? and Laboratory Earth: The Planetary Gamble We Can’t Afford to Lose.

In 1992 Schneider received a MacArthur Fellowship for his ability to integrate and interpret the results of global climate research through public lectures, seminars, classroom teaching, environmental assessment committees, media appearances, Congressional testimony, and research collaboration with colleagues. He was elected to membership in the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in April 2002. Currently, he is actively involved with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
