Eastern Washington University Honors Program, the College of Science, Health & Engineering and the Strategic Planning Council present The Weather Makers TIM FLANNERY Saturday, April 5, 2008 10 a.m. Showalter Auditorium Tim Flannery is on a mission. He believes that human activity is drastically altering the earth’s climate, and that before too long these changes will have a devastating effect on life on this planet. He wants to mobilize the social and political will to address this problem before it’s too late. In this important and provocative book, Flannery tells the fascinating story of climate change over millions of years to help us understand the predicament we face today. In authoritative yet accessible language, Flannery carefully lays out the science, demonstrating the substantial, human-induced climate change and the likely ecological effects to the planet if this process continues. He then proposes a game plan to halt, and ultimately reverse, this damaging trend. The Weather Makers has sold over a million copies worldwide, and is proving to be one of the most pivotal and influential texts in our understanding of global warming. start something big Drawing on the ideas from his groundbreaking new book, Tim Flannery presents a straightforward and powerful exploration of the connection between climate change, global warming, and human activity. He has a gift for making complex science understandable for a lay audience, through a deft use of imagery, analogy and common sense. But Flannery does not just tell his audience what is happening to our planet. He very clearly lays out a game plan for halting current warming trends and beginning the long, but entirely achievable, project of reversing the damage we have done. His goal is to mobilize his listeners—both personally and politically—to recognize that we are all “weather makers” and that the only choice, both logically and ethically, is to begin to address this problem before it’s too late.
