The event brought together distinguished scientists and elected officials to discuss global warming and find solutions.

UCI Nobel Laureate F. Sherwood Rowland’s keynote address focused on the dangers of ozone depletion and the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Other experts discussed alternative fuels and the cultural and political ramifications of climate change. Mayors and other city officials from Irvine, Boulder, Aspen and Salt Lake City discussed implementing global warming science in their communities.
