O Fallon Public Library March 2019 Global Warming Demystified! O Fallon School District 90 is partnering with the O Fallon Public Library to bring Dr. Jeffrey Bennett, an astrophysicist and author, to the O Fallon area on March 5, for visits to the schools and a free library program on global warming. Dr. Bennett has written numerous award-winning children s books which have been featured in the Story Time from Space Program. In addition he has authored other critically-acclaimed books for the general public including What is Relativity?, Math for Life, On Teaching Science, and A Global Primer. Global Warming Demystified is the title of his free library program which begins at 6:30 on March 5th. Based on his award-winning book A Global Primer, this presentation will give you the foundation you need to speak intelligently about the science behind global warming, and show you why the solutions to this important problem are ones that people of all political persuasions can agree on. Dr. Bennett s talk is perfect for middle school students and older.
