American Museum of Natural History's "SciCafe" Discusses Climate Control

Did Humanity Engineer Its Own Demise?

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH)’s teen-focused late-night program “SciCafe” is back with a thought-provoking discussion on Climate Control. Featuring associate professor Kevin Uno of Harvard University, this session will analyze how humanity’s desire for environmental control may have had alarming impacts on our natural environment.

Read for the event description below!

Humans evolved in the natural world with little to no control over our environment.
Over time, humans began to find ways to adapt to varying climates by making clothing and shelter, and, eventually, by controlling fire. This ultimately led to central heating and air conditioning, but at great cost.

In this SciCafe, join Kevin Uno, associate professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, for a discussion on the ways in which humanity’s need to control its own environment has led to dire impacts on global climate and where do we go from here.

Please note, SciCafe is intended to be a casual, social environment. Seating is not guaranteed.
