style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">NORMAN</SPAN></FONT> – Climate change is a topic much in
the news these days. But what is climate change? How can changes in the
Earth’s climate affect the plants, animals and environments, and what does it
mean for the human population of the planet? These are some of the
questions that will be looked at in detail in a three-part mini-course offered
by the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History in Norman . “Global
Climate Change: Past … Present ... and Future!” is set for 7 to 8:30 p.m. on
Thursday evenings, November 1, 8 and 15. </P></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The mini-course will be taught by University of Oklahoma
faculty and researchers who are involved in studying the Earth’s climate.
The workshops will take participants on a journey through time to observe the
Earth’s major climatic transformations in the past, then look at present and
possible future climate changes and their impacts. The workshop will discuss
ways to mitigate the effects of climate change, as well.

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">“This is a program for people who want to understand
more about our planet’s climate, how it has changed over time, and how it
affects life on Earth,” said museum education director Wendy Gram. “It is geared
for non-scientists, and no previous knowledge of climatology is required. We
encourage anyone who wants to better understand this important topic to
participate in the workshop.”</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
