Sep 16 Victoria Claflin Woodhull Blood Martin Victoria Claflin Woodhull Blood Martin was the first woman to run for President of the United States. Her platform was free love and suffrage, which may be why she is not in most history books. Victoria rose from poverty to wealth and prestige in Anglo-American society. She took her entire, contentious family to England where she entertained the Prince of Wales at her historic manor house which is now in the National Trust. In her lifetime she was both infamous and famous. She was surely naughty. Presenter: Dr. Barbara Montgomery, author and teacher with two Fulbrights
Oct 21 Global Warming – Science, Policy and Politics What’s this “global warming” thing all about? If you would like to know, this lecture is for you. The discussion will cover the science of greenhouse gases in layman’s terms. It will take a look at prehistoric and historic temperature and carbon dioxide patterns and what these may tell us about the future. Disagreements between the consensus scientists and the skeptics will be examined. It will examine what various countries are doing to control carbon emissions and how successful (or not) they have been. U. S. regulatory proposals in Congress and their implications on energy policy and economics will also be discussed. Presenter: Ed Powell, Ph. D. Environmental Policy Director, TXU (retired)
