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.

Time for accountability: Denialist fallacies and “skeptical” junk science. Prof Kevin Judd (School of Mathematics and Statistics, UWA)

The scientific consensus: Data from a warming planet. Prof Malcolm McCulloch, FRS (School of Earth Sciences, UWA)

The way forward: Towards economic growth in a clean-energy future. Dr Volker Oschmann (School of Law, UWA, and German Federal Ministry for the Environment)
