Global Warming: Evidence, Inspiration for Action, Solutions

A positive series of talks hosted by Voters Taking Action on Climate Change

focused on refreshing our commitment to action and reaching out to
others.

Tuesday February 5^th: Global
Warming: More than hot air? Dr. David Chapman, professor of geophysics at
the University of Utah and renowned speaker on global warming, reviews the
scientific evidence that climate change is caused by human activity.

You should come to this talk if you want an interesting, accessible
update on the causes of global warming, and a renewed sense of the urgent need
for action. 

Bring along a friend who remains skeptical of the arguments,
or who has never really understood what all the fuss was
about.

Tuesday February 19^th:
Global Warming: Spiritual Crisis and Opportunity.  Bruce Sanguin, Minister
at the Canadian Memorial United Church and author of Darwin, Divinity and
Dance of the Cosmos explores where we can find motivation for action.

You should come to this talk if you want to be inspired to reconnect
with people and the planet in order to get on with the work of restoring our
climate.

Bring along a friend who despairs that humanity can change its ways
and come together for the shared work we have ahead.

Tuesday
March 4^th: Lessons for the Future from Canada’s
Climate Policy Failures. Dr. Mark Jaccard, professor in Resource
Environmental Management at SFU and an award winning author of numerous books on
climate and energy policy, critiques where Canadian governments have gone wrong
in fighting global warming and highlights policies which can reduce emissions.

You should come to this talk if you want to be able to distinguish a
market mechanism from a regulation or voluntary initiative and understand which
one can reduce emissions most efficiently.

Bring along a friend who is cynical that any government has the
ability to reduce emissions, or who thinks that the solution to this problem
lies outside the world of public policy all together.
