Tonight (Tuesday, Sept. 20) Science Cafe Concord returns after a summer hiatus to discuss the topic “Coping with Climate Change.”
I wrote a column in the Monitor today to spur attendance … AND THEN FORGET TO WRITE WHAT TIME IT STARTS!!!! (Pounds head on desk)
it starts at 6 p.m. The Draft Sports Bar, 67 S. Main St.
The whole column is here. (I’ve added the time, if you’re wondering)
It was a full house and a good, friendly, intelligent discussion – until a guy who showed up late harangued me because I couldn’t say exactly what percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere would cause disaster, which he said was evidence that the whole topic was a sham.
I told him “we’ll have to agree to disagree” because I wanted to go home, so he snarled down the stairs that I am a “fucking idiot”.
The best part? He said he was a tourist on vacation who just wandered in. Wow, he must be a joy to travel with …
