This presentation is a brief of history of the many changes in Earth’s Climate over time and how those changes have affected life on Earth including human life over the last million years.  This is not a ‘political’ analysis of the subject, rather it is a scientific tour of the forces that shape our climate. This program promises to challenge popular misconceptions and myths about Global Warming and Climate Change.   Before and after this talk, special telescopes will be available to safely look at the Sun (weather permitting) , a major undisputed force of climate change.
