Are our environmental priorities out of whack?  According to Penn's Robert Giegengack, we are focusing all our attention on environmental issues such as  climate change that are much less immediate than many others and which are beyond our capacity to change.  Meanwhile, manageable environmental problems all around us are being ignored.

This month at the Penn Science Cafe, Dr. Giegengack will discuss energy, politics, Kyoto and the looming crisis as China and India's appetite for resources catches up to our own.
