| Biography: |
Bill got a BS in Engineering with emphasis on Computer Science from Caltech in 1983, after which he spent about 20 years writing CAD software for chip design.
Outside his major, his education, between high school and college, includes 4 years of physics, 3 of chemistry, and several years of calculus.
Most of Bill's education in economics came from working for Wall Street as a computer programmer since 2005, where his firm would hire former traders to teach the programmers finance and economics.
Bill ran an economics discussion group from 2013-2016 before running out of things to talk about, and switched his focus to climate change in 2016.
In addition to outreach to conservatives, Bill also focuses on trying to promote greater technical sophistication among climate activists. |

Report From the Climate Debate |

| Session Description: |
Bill Chapman has been very active in the climate debate since 2016, the first time he gave a Skepticamp presentation on the subject. He has travelled to DC over half a dozen times to attend conferences and lobby congress on climate. Bill has been specializing in outreach to conservatives, which is, to say the least, an uphill battle.
The debate has evolved over the years, and Bill would like to comment on the current state of affairs.
