Climate scientists tell us that we’re heading for a world so warm that our grandchildren’s lives will be miserable. Industry tells us to keep consuming fossil fuels or even constructs misinformation to ensure that we’ll do so. People elect politicians that assign low priority to acting on this information, or even deny its truth. This is deeply concerning.

We have an opportunity to discuss this with an Emeritus Professor of Public Policy, Jonathan Boston, who is visiting Nelson. Come to Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows 5.30-7pm Friday 21st March.

Bring your questions for the Q&A to follow.

Below are some references to his writing on climate topics.
