Speaker to Address Climate Justice
The general consensus on cli­
mate change is that significant glo­
bal warming is taking place right
now. But what can we expect for the
rest of the 21st century and be­
yond?
Warren Washington, a pioneer
in the development of the climate
models that are used to evaluate
humankind’s impact on the global
environment, will speak on climate
change, societal impacts and envi­
ronmental justice on Thursday, Feb.
13 as part of the Black History Month
events at Lewis & Clark College.
The talk will begin at 7 p.m. at the
southwest Portland school’s Agnes
Flanagan Chapel.
Washington grew up in north­
east Portland and attended High­
land Elementary and Jefferson High
School.
He is a mentor and passionate
supporter of individuals, educa­
tional programs, and outreach ini­
tiatives designed to foster a diverse
population of atmospheric scien­
tists.
A National Medal of Science re­
cipient, he served appointments
under the Carter, Reagan, Clinton,
andG.W. Bush administrations; and
is a former president of the Ameri­
can Meteorological Society.
