George Erickson<\/h3>\n

11 a.m., January 8, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join the Humanist Forum, in person OR on Zoom.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, January 8, Dr. George Erickson will join us on Zoom to discuss nuclear energy and climate change. <\/p>\n

Dr. George Erickson is a best-selling author of five pro-science books and a retired dentist. He has spent parts of 38 summers \u201dbush-flying\u201d in Alaska and Arctic Canada and is a former VP of the American Humanist Assoc., a former president of the Minnesota Humanists and a former member of the New Brighton, MN Environmental Quality Commission. <\/p>\n

He is a member of the National Center for Science Education, a member of the Thorium Energy Alliance \u2013 and a member of a group of about 100 independent physicists, engineers, MDs, energy experts and journalists who are deeply concerned about climate change, the environment and energy issues. <\/p>\n

He has exchanged climate change\/energy emails with Dr. James Hansen, former chief climate scientist at NASA \u2013 now Climate Change scientist at Columbia Univ., whom he often quotes in his image-rich book, Unintended Consequences: The Lie That Killed Millions and Accelerated Climate Change \u2013 the book on which his presentations are based. After reading a sampling of Dr. Erickson’s published op-eds on climate change and energy issues, Dr. Hansen called them “brilliant.” <\/p>\n

Dr. Erickson travels the country at his own expense, giving presentations on the environment, climate change and energy issues at colleges, schools and affinity groups.
