It is rare for questions to flow in two directions between a scientist and a science journalist, but on an issue as fraught and complex as human-driven global warming – with both the physical climate and communications climate in flux – there’s never been a more important moment for such a conversation.

Dr. Michael Oppenheimer is a Princeton University climate scientist and past lead author on several reports of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Oppenheimer is the 2015 Pace University Academy for Applied Environmental Studies’ Visiting Fellow.
Andrew Revkin first wrote about the human-climate relationship 30 years ago and has stuck with this tough story ever since, including through 20 years of writing for The New York Times, both as a news reporter and, since 2010, in his prize-winning Dot Earth blog for the online Opinion section. Revkin teaches courses at Pace University and serves as Pace Academy’s Senior Fellow for Environmental Understanding.
This event is sponsored by Pace University Academy for Applied Environmental Studies, The Dyson College Department of Environmental Studies and Science, and Wallerstein Collaborative for Urban Environmental Education at NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.
