The time for debating climate change is long gone

T

he time for debating climate change is long gone.

Professor Katharine Hayhoe.

Instead of procrastinating and prevaricating about the science, we should be enthusiastically discussing workable abatement and how we can live with the evolving changes global warming will bring to earth’s climate system and so weather.

Utopia rarely arrives without a discordant note somewhere and so many still have to go to the public with convincing arguments about what is holding us back and why.

One who beats the drum on behalf of her fellow climate scientists is atmospheric scientist from the Texas Tech University, Professor Katharine Hayhoe, seen here on TEDx asking the question, “What if climate change is real?”

George will explain why no one is hearing the climate change message

George Marshall understands why we are not hearing the message about climate change.

And the British author and co-founder of the Climate Outreach and Information Network (COIN ) will be in Shepparton next month to talk about his findings.

Shepparton-based group, Slap Tomorrow, is bringing George to Shepparton to speak at the University of Melbourne’s Rural School of Academic Health at 6:00pm in Graham Street on Monday, February 16.

He discovered much about communication and climate change while researching for his latest book, “Don’t Even Think About: Why our brains are wired to ignore climate change”, which was published just a few months ago.

George Marshall on TEDx

George’s visit to Shepparton is a programmed event in Victoria’s Sustainable Living Festival and has been co-ordinated through the Melbourne-based group, Psychology for a Safe Climate.

The February 16 Shepparton event will be free, but a gold coin donation maybe take up to help offset George’s costs. He has volunteered to visit Shepparton and is being brought from Melbourne by Carol Ride from the Psychology for a Safe Climate.

This shortTEDx presentation will enable you to see that George is an entertaining speaker with an important message.
