Join us for the kickoff event of the UW Economics Alumni Organization!

On Sept 18, just before the UW vs. UCLA football game, we will present a lecture by Economics Emeritus Professor Gardner Brown, who will examine how the temperature on the surface of the earth has changed dramatically in the past 25 years, and what scientists are learning about global warming as a result of human activities. Professor Brown, who specializes in natural resource economics and applied microeconomic theory, will examine why the Kyoto Protocol may be a failed design and where we should focus our energy to reduce global warming.
