“A comprehensive assessment of climate change research has found an overwhelming consensus among scientists that recent warming is human-induced,” according to a story published by the ABC.

Anna Rose.

The story, headed: “'Overwhelming' consensus for man made warming: review” contravenes public perception that science, and the scientists, is still divided in their views.

Goulburn Valley people will have the chance to hear more about how they should respond to the unfolding challenges of climate change at a free public forum in Shepparton on Thursday, June 6.

The June 6 forum, “Slap Tomorrow – A Wake-Up Call” will discuss our changing climate, initiating a discussion that will encourage people to identify the opportunities and incorporate them with their lifestyle.

The forum will feature Climate Commissioner, Prof Veena Sahajwalla; the chair of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, Anna Rose; and environmental consultant, Rob Gell; with Victoria’s Sustainability Commissioner, Prof Kate Auty, as the moderator.

Rose, who has travelled the world exploring climate change, has a grasp of how younger people can be involved and subsequently act; Sahajwalla, as an engineer, understands how we can take what exists and reapply it to our advantage; and Gell has long been immersed in many aspects of the climate and will encourage community engagement.

The forum will be held at Shepparton’s Eastbank auditorium with the doors opening at 6:30pm allowing people to see a display of projects and products applicable to a different future before the forum starts at 7:30pm.
