▲ Prof. Lee explains the relationship between climate change and power.

On Jun. 3, the 7th POSTECH Science Cafe (PSC) was held in the POSCO International Center. Professor Jinwoo Lee of the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences gave a lecture titled “Science Behind Climate Change”

In the lecture, Prof. Lee explained the relationship between climate change and power by pointing out the fact that the basic cause of climate change is not green house gas emission but energy consumption underlying our life style. He emphasized that climate change is a problem of global justice, and to tackle the problem, we should redefine the definition of freedom based on self-limiting sustainable lifestyles.

The PSC, hosted by the POSTECH Academy Council, was established to discuss issues from different fields.
