Our next Program Night will be held on Thursday, September 4 at 7 PM at the Huntsville - Madison County Main Public library. Dr. Roy Spencer, Principal Research Scientist, Earth System Science Center at University of Alabama in Huntsville will be talking to us about "Global Warming - Natural or Manmade?"

Roy Spencer received his Ph.D. in meteorology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1981. Before becoming a Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2001, he was a Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, where he and Dr. John Christy received NASA's Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for their global temperature monitoring work with satellites. Dr. Spencer is the U.S. Science Team leader for the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer flying on NASA's Aqua satellite. His research has been entirely supported by U.S. government agencies: NASA, NOAA, and DOE. Dr. Spencer's first popular book on global warming, Climate Confusion (Encounter Books), is now available at Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com. Roy Spencer's website
