Hiram Bleecker, retired professor of physics and the Museum of

his views on climate change in an extraordinary program for
Museum visitors. Bleecker, who has been with the Museum of
Discovery and Science for nearly 13 years, will educate the
public and teach a series of programs that focus on the hot
topic, Global Warming. "No single change is going to solve the
problem; it’s a combination of everything together," Bleecker
said. "We need to encourage our government, and other
governments around the world, that global warming is a worldwide
problem."
