Union Hall brings you Secret Science Club, one of my favorite monthly events. Come nerd it up with mind-blowing lectures, volatile cocktails, and chemically-altered sounds. Tonight's focus is on good old Carbon. "Biologist Tyler Volk is science director of the environmental studies program at New York University, the author of the just-released book CO2 Rising: The World’s Greatest Environmental Challenge, and the guitarist for the all-scientist rock band, the Amygdaloids. For more than 20 years, his research has focused on the global carbon cycle, the dynamics of the biosphere, and closed ecological systems for life support. Dr. Volk asks: How is CO2 changing the natural world? Can new technologies and new energy sources—carbon sequestration, biomass, solar, wind, and nuclear—hold back the carbon tide? Why are the exhaled breaths of the growing human population not net additions to atmospheric CO2? How much carbon can the world’s oceans and forests hold? What facts should every Earth citizen know about the carbon cycle?" 21+
