TODAY 2pm ET: Online chat w/ climatologist on science (or lack thereof) in The Day After Tomorrow
Globalwarming.org ^ | June 3 2004 | Consumer Alert

WASHINGTON, DC, June 2, 2004 -- The new disaster film "The Day After Tomorrow" premiered over Memorial Day weekend. Even before its release, prominent scientists had scoffed at its unsupported premise - that global warming will lead to extremely rapid and cataclysmic freezing of New York City.

Because some people may be confused about climate science and global warming, Consumer Alert, sponsor of the website www.globalwarming.org, will feature a noted climatologist and oceanographic expert on its "Live Chat with the Experts" to take visitors' questions on the "science" portrayed in the movie and other questions about global warming.

Noted expert Dr. James J. O’Brien, Professor of Meteorology and Oceanography at Florida State University and official climatologist for the state of Florida, will answer questions concerning the science (or lack thereof) behind “The Day After Tomorrow,” and other climate issues, at 2pm EDT on this Thursday, June 3. Chat moderators will open the floor up to questions earlier, at 1pm. To ask your questions to Dr. O’Brien, email chat@globalwarming.org

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to converse with FSU’s Director of the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies about what the future of our climate holds. Could climate changes wrought by greenhouse gases really change the oceanic currents almost instantly? Would such a change really bring about such catastrophic consequences as depicted in the high-budget disaster movie getting so much play in the media and among the “global warming establishment”? Ask these and any other lingering questions.

The chat with Dr. O’Brien is the second in a regular series of chats with experts on the science, politics, and economics of global warming. --

GlobalWarming.org is a project of Cooler Heads, a project of the National Consumer Coalition. The NCC, created by Consumer Alert, consists of more than 20 membership organizations, with millions of members, who support the principals of consumer choice and the free market.
