an atmospheric physicist at George Mason University, will give a speech
beginning at 3 p.m. in 100 Mendenhall Laboratory, 125 S. Oval Mall. Singer
says it may be premature to make expensive policy decisions to address

exist in climate forecasting models while making sensible policy decisions
like conserving energy, as if there were no global warming scare.
