Climate Change Lecture on 23 May 07
Lecture Title: The Science of Climate Change: Debunking the Myths
Speaker: Professor Matthew England
Location: UNSW, New Law Building, Law Theatre G23
(If you refer the this map of UNSW, the law building is located in grid F8)
Date: 23/05/07 Wednesday
Time: 7 - 8 pm
Places ARE limited, so send us an email to ensure a seat! You can do this by emailing climate.variance(at)gmail.com
Why should you come for this lecture? Well, here are some great reasons!
1. At the moment there is no science so hotly debated as climate science.
2. Views of climate change range from total denial of the basics through to apocalyptic scenarios of doom and destruction.
3. So what do we know about the climate system and greenhouse gases? How can we separate fact from fiction?
4. In this talk Professor Matthew England will outline what is known, and what is unknown, about global climate change.
5. This talk will focus on the science of climate change, what is known and unknown, with an explanation of how scientists formulate reports such as the IPCC.
We hope to see you there, and if you have any enquiries at all, feel free to send us an email.

Welcome to new visitors!
We are in the process of organizing many interesting lectures on climate change from a scientific point of view. As outlined in the first post on this blog, we attempt to take a neutral stance so as not to alienate any one group of individuals who just want to learn more about how science is tackling this global issue. If you are interested, send us an email at climate.variance (at) gmail.com, and we'll surely add you to the mailing list. Alternatively, you can simply bookmark this page, and check back regularly as there will be frequent updates posted here.
Tentatively, our first lecture will be by Professor Matthew England of the Climate and Environmental Dynamics Laboratory at the UNSW Department of Mathematics and Statistics. It is currently scheduled to be held on 23 May 2007, at UNSW. Updates pertaining to the precise time and location will be posted up shortly.
Thank you again for your interest, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Global Warming: Reality or Hoax?
The Great Global Warming Swindle Part 1 of 9
Check it out, and after you watch it, do you feel that the IPCC report is a wad of over-politicized hysteria? Or is this documentary just the immature lashing out of sidelined crackpots?
Your voice, your say.

The Rational Debate of Climate Change Society at UNSW, Sydney Australia
For those who didn't receive the original email, or for those who are just joining us, I present to you the purpose for our existence, and the reason for why we need YOUR support.
Our stance on climate change and global warming is one of neutrality. We firmly accept that the climate IS changing, as it always does. However, we openly question the accusations levied on the human race, marking it as being the primary cause of this change. We do not deny it though, we simply question. We are also against how climate change has been hijacked by politicians, whose primary goal is not to obtain objective facts about global warming but to promote their own agenda. In line with our purpose, we strongly feel that the rational, scientific approach to global warming is the way the world should be tackling this issue.The purpose of our Society for the Rational Debate of Climate Change is to provide a forum for climate scientists and experts to communicate the facts with UNSW students and the general public. This forum will also give participants the opportunity to open a dialogue with researchers, without information having to be first filtered through the media. Simply put, we wish to promote public awareness of recent research in climate change without a political slant or incitement of hysteria.
We feel that our society provides an alternative for interested individuals who are put off by talks hosted by "Greenies" and environmentalists who tend to exaggerate certain issues to promote their own agendas or idealisms.
By all means contact us if you are interested in providing support, donations, or even sponsorship towards our continued efforts! Leave a comment, and we will get back to you!
