Dr. Damon Matthews is an Associate Professor at Concordia's Department of Geography Planning and Environment. A climate scientist, Dr. Matthews' work over the years has contributed to the ever growing academic literature on climate change and the mechanisms that drive it. He has published works on everything from geoengineering, to how global warming could compromise the future of outdoor hockey in Canada. His latest paper, a collaboration with acclaimed MIT atmospheric chemist Susan Solomon, was just published in late March of this year and is entitled "Irreversible Does Not Mean Unavoidable". I met up with Damon Matthews to discuss his new findings on the immediate effects of decreasing CO2 emissions.
