Global Warming Exhibit At Bruce Museum
In a Courant editorial in 1897, editor Charles Dudley Warner wrote: 'Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.' The Bruce Museum in Greenwich is talking about it and illustrating it, too, in its exhibit "Climate Change: From Snowball Earth to Global Warming."The show, which opens Saturday and runs through Nov. 9, looks at theories of climate change and the science used to create models of global warming.
Weather changes day to day, but climate looks at the averages expected over a longer period.
The show looks at climate changes over millions of years, from "snowball Earth" 700 million years ago to the subtropical temperatures that lasted for 60 million years and ended about 45 million years ago. A model of the museum's "Ecosphere," above, will be on display, showing the interdependence of plant and animal life....
