Views about climate change from real scientists with real answers: Lecture presentations and “open mic” discussion with expert panel
Are you concerned about climate change? Are you concerned by the current debate that seems to call into question climate science? Are there reasons to doubt what scientists are predicting?
This 90-minute event will present 4 brief talks by UWA scientists who are experts in various aspects of climate change, followed by an opportunity to ask questions of the speakers and discuss the issues with a panel of experts.
Speakers (10-15 minutes each)
