Hamilton Performing Arts Center was more than half full on the evening of September 6, 2024 when Nobel Co-Recipient Dr. Steve Running presented an informative, witty and insightful lecture on climate change. Moderator Russ Lawrence fielded excellent questions from the audience. Thanks to all who attended, and to project manager John Schneeberger for an outstanding job on this major BCAG project for 2024.

In 2024 BCAG distributed thousands of dollars worth of HEPA filters
Seniors and/or medically challenged individuals and households have received a total of 45 HEPA portable room purifers for this year's fire season at no charge to them through private contributions and a generous grant from the Rapp Family Foundation.
This sustainable program (BCAG also makes replacement filters at no additional charge) is one of the ways that your support has helped our local community, and the positive feedback we've received is gratifying. We thank all donors, and especially the Rapp Family Foundation for supporting this effort. More about this program here.

Have you heard a lot of contradictory information about climate change?
- Is it happening?
- If it is happening, is it natural or human caused?
- Is it really a crisis?
Please join us on September 6th at the Hamilton High School Performing Arts Center for a talk and Q&A session with Nobel Prize co-recipient and UM climate scientist Steve Running. Make sure to bring your toughest questions and let’s learn together!

Best of luck on your presentation. One of the questions should be changed to "Is it natural, human caused, or a bit of both?" Then, regardless of the answer to that question, "Is there anything mankind can do to lessen the impact?"
I’m glad Lake Missoula and the glaciers in the west side canyons have “disappeared”! A good geology class wouldn’t hurt a lot of people.
There will no mention of the severe solar flares we have been receiving in the past year, nor the huge Tongan Volcano in the pacific in 2022.
Go watch the latest podcast of Greg Braden with Danica Patrick
Is this from 1975?
Does the reconstruction and rebuilding of massively destroyed war zones add to the problem because of emissions? You know, logging, sawmills, concrete production, transporting materials, etc.. OR should we leave them in ruins to save the environment?
Climate Change is real. The Climate has been changing since the birth of the earth! Sometimes hotter, sometimes colder, but how much control does man have over this? We have only recorded the Earth's temperature for about 100-200 years out of the 4.5 Billion Years the Earth has been in existence.
If climate is changing it's not because of CO2.
The level of evidence for contemporary climate change assertions ranks at the lower end of quality. I view it as "expert opinion", which occupies rock bottom in the quality hierarchy.
Climate change is a misleading term. The word climate already implies change. The Greens refuse to debate. Tell me one high profile climate debate in the last decade?
/s Always great to see we have so many Phds in the valley. /s science.nasa.gov/climate-change/faq/do-scientists-agree-on-climate-change/
Rather than speeches, I would appreciate debates. I’d suggest Steve Running debate Bjorn Lomborg of Copenhagen Consensus Center (which includes 7 Nobel laureates); more info here: www.hoover.org/profiles/bjorn-lomborg
Both the casdemic and climate scam pretend to control the uncontrollable for simple greed…
I hope all those with questions about human caused, rapid climate change will attend. skepticalscience.com/
Stop the spray. The Dimming on ytub will open any honest persons eyes to truth of climate groups
It's BS. It's all about people control. The earth has been going through changes since I was made
What is it this month the.climate calls it. Warming cooling Florida is under water the ice is melting in the south pole but in reality there's more ice then usual. We only have 10 yrs left before bad things really happen and they said that over 20 yrs ago. Most of us know it's about people control. Many countries are laughing there asses off because of the fools we have herd
Hoax
Hoax
Just tell these crazy Climate change people, to go visit, an active Volcano
Definitely one of our most fun events! Join us as we raise a glass or two.
