Description

This seminar will give an overview of the science of how the climate is changing, the impacts in terms of extreme events and human welfare, and what is required to stop climate change. It will also touch on the debate over how the problem is presented; is it better to be an ‘alarmist’, a ‘realist’, or an ‘optimist’?
