Understanding climate change: Spotlight on the “skeptics” and Climate Change Q & A

Mike — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:18:55 +0000

The November meeting of Transition Kenmore District is an opportunity to bring along friends, family, neighbours who are either inquisitive or skeptical to our:

Q & A on Climate Change.

As we move closer to the important decision making event at Copenhagen we need to assist as many people as possible to be as informed as possible.

Dr Philip Machanick will be giving a short presentation
“Understanding the science by being skeptical of the skeptics.” Looking at some of the “skeptics’” arguments and asking, how well do they really stack up? And, would a true “skeptic” believe their “evidence”?

Followed by a Q & A on Climate Change with our panel to help answer your questions and arm you with the knowledge to discuss climate change with friends and family.
On our panel are Dr Philip Machanick, Dr Doone Wyborn and Mike Clark.

If you have ever wondered.
Whats a tipping point? How do greenhouse gasses work? What’s the latest science telling us? What sort of a world are we leaving for future generations? How do we know it’s not the sun? Then come along and find out.
Be informed, Be there!
