DETROIT – Paul Gross held his third annual climate change webcast on Wednesday.
Gross runs through the science around climate change, using a mix of graphics and maps to present an impartial view on what's happening to the planet.
"I have some new graphics to show you this year that really help to explain the science and bring it down to a level that most people can understand," Gross said.
He added that he makes his usual promise when discussing this controversial issue: "I am not an advocate, and do not accept ANY information from advocacy groups. I am not trying to promote a point of view. Rather, I am a fiercely independent scientist who has earned your trust over many years to ONLY bring you science directly from the scientific community."
Along with his presentation, Gross is taking questions from our audience. You can submit them through the Local 4 Facebook page on Thursday morning. He'll answer as many possible.
"I give a lot of lectures about global warming, and there is no question in my mind that there is considerable interest in the subject, and a great desire for unbiased, straight information," Gross said.
Spread the word to your friends and family: anybody can watch live on ClickOnDetroit.com Wednesday at 12:30 PM.
