Alabama Department of Homeland Security Receives Google Enterprise Award for Virtual Alabama

Watch Director Jim Walker (at right), Director of the Alabama Department of Homeland Security discuss the award and how it will impact emergency response and planning for the 63 counties in Alabama.

Director Walker will give the keynote address on Tuesday, October 16th at 9:00 a.m.

Dr. John Christy (at left), Univ. of Alabama-Huntsville, will speak on Global Climate Change on October 17th at 9:00 a.m.

Christy comments that, "Climate has evolved from a topic dealt with by a few bookish, pocket-protector scientists to a multi-billion dollar industry that has begun to drive legislative policy on Capitol Hill, to embolden high-profile environmental activists, to capture academy awards, to produce legal action in federal courts and to create anxiety among the largest industries (and thus people) of the world. Once out of the scientific standards of hypothesis testing, the subject has taken on a life of its own with parallels to fervent religious movements (... believing is easier than calculus). However, as Lord Kelvin said, "All Science is Numbers."

Christy is nationally recognized for his work and sits on the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel for Global Climate Change.
