Global Warming Literacy: Paul Solman

Business and Science Lecture Series, Dominican University, San Rafael, CA
The popular business and economic correspondent for The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Paul Solman has been demystifying a range of topics including money matters, sports, art and global warming for over 25 years. As an eloquent and convincing proponent of global warming literacy, Solman illuminates this complex issue involving physical science, biofuels, green corporations, the market for carbon credits and the benefits of high oil prices “with clarity, humor and a laudable investigative spirit”. Solman presents a multimedia lecture that keeps changing as the earth does.

“Solman instantly connects with audiences and they with him. He’s intelligent, savvy and accessible; he’s the professor you want to have over for dinner and stay for a week.” - Brown University

“Paul Solman is fabulous - from translating Greenspanish to making the economy (almost) riveting - his analyses are wonderfully clear, lively and . . . dare I say it? Fun.” - World Affairs Council of Philadelphia
