Dr Rhian Salmon, from Victoria’s School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, will talk about the science, and the scientific evidence for the effects of, climate change.
Joining Dr Salmon is Associate Professor Stuart Brock, from Victoria’s School of History, Philosophy, Political Science and International Relations.
He will talk about how rational individuals should respond to evidence about climate change, why many otherwise reasonable people aren’t taking action and what they could do to make a difference.
Dr Salmon has a PhD in atmospheric chemistry and has worked for the British Antarctic Survey as a scientist and communications coordinator. She now carries out research and teaching into effective public engagement with science.
Associate Professor Brock teaches and conducts research on Philosophy, including critical and logical thinking and irrationality.
