SCIENCE AGAINST CAPITALISM: THE ROLE OF THE BIOPHYSICAL SCIENCES IN BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR ALL
Biogeochemistry, Energy Systems, and Solar Power
With David Schwartzman
In a world where global warming is driven incessantly, and fossil fuel corporations continue to accrue profits without constraints, what options do we have to avert the climate crisis? Is a move to renewable energy possible under capitalism? Join us for a seminar with professor and researcher, David Schwartzman, as we discuss the use of biogeochemistry to understand the current conditions of the planet and the potential for solar energy in a socialist society.
