Join us on Tuesday , March 19th at 7:00 PM in the Library Community Room ( 1115 El Centro Street ) for an important call to action . Overwhelming scientific consensus has shown that without deep and rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions , global warming will exceed 1 . 5 degrees Celsius , a level beyond which will bring catastrophic damage around the world . John Fleming , Ph . D . , a Senior Scientist with the
Center for Biological Diversity in its Climate Law Institute
, will discuss his scientific work to support legal and grassroots campaigns to protect people , wildlife , and ecosystems from climate change while working to speed the transition from greenhouse gas - emitting fossil fuels to clean , renewable energy sources .
Dr . Fleming graduated with a bachelor ' s in geosciences and a certificate in environmental studies from Princeton University and received a PhD in geological sciences from the University of Southern California . During his time at USC , he conducted research exploring the links between aspects of climate change and biological oxygen demand in marine waters off the Los Angeles coast .
