Dr. S. Fred Singer, professor emeritus at the University of Virginia and director of the Science Environmental Policy Project, will deliver a public lecture at the University of Texas, Austin at 7 p.m. today.

The presentation, titled “The Climate Debate: IPCC, NIPCC, Hockeystick, and Climategate Impacts on Energy Policy and Everything Else,” is part of a five-city tour of Texas, New Mexico, and California sponsored by CFACT, the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow. Dr. Singer is also a senior fellow for environmental policy at The Heartland Institute.

Since the Rio Summit of 1992, energy policy has been dominated by concerns about anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Such policies affect national economies and therefore also national security. But how valid is the evidence for AGW? Dr. Singer will present the results of the latest investigations and address current controversies. He will discuss the ongoing popular climate debate as an example of a conflict of cultures, rather than of science only.

The free lecture is open to the public and media.
