UO Law Welcomes James McCarthy

James J. McCarthy, Harvard University climate scientist and co-chair of the Nobel Peace Prize winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, will visit the Wayne Morse Center and the School of Law in early fall 2009. McCarthy is a highly respected scientist and public policy advocate on climate change. He was also one of the lead authors on the recently completed Arctic Climate Impact Assessment. McCarthy is the outgoing President of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science and current chair of the board of the Union of Concerned Scientists.

McCarthy will be joined by Professor Mary Wood and the Morse Chairholder, philosopher Dale Jamieson, on a panel for a Morse Center program. It will be on October 22 at 4:30 p.m. in Room 110. The topic is "Climate Policy: What if Politics Fail Us?"
