Sen. Whitehouse focuses on the environment

"Global warming is real, and it has serious implications for the homes, businesses, communities, and ecosystems along our nation's coasts."

So says U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. But what does he think should be done to combat the the effects of climate change?

Find out today, when Whitehouse speaks at Brown University at a lecture sponsored by the University's Environmental Change Initiative and emPower, an environmental blog.

The lecture is the first event of "Focus on the Nation," an interscholastic program beginning this week that pledges to weave environmental studies into all aspects of education.

The talk begins at noon in Salomon Hall, room 101, on the university's main green.
