The Role of Holes in Climate Change

 Thursday, July 21, 7pm

The Hop Bar/Restaurant
554 Main Street, Beacon 

Clarkson University Professor of Chemistry Mario Wriedt presents a “futuristic drama” where advanced porous materials, X-ray diffraction and alternative fuels play a critical role in saving the world’s marine ecosystems from the effects of ocean acidification and climate change. An exciting sci-(non)fi story where the capture of C02 brings “tears” to hydrogen-fuel cells, people become green with energy envy, and earth’s new hope-based atmosphere creates the new norm for climate change.
