Climate & Ecolgical Crisis - What’s All the Fuss About?
Kate Belmonte will deliver this David Ramsden MBE presentation which looks into the data of climate change, the physics and the earth’s tipping points.
“This is the best talk I have heard about the climate and ecological crisis. As a scientist, working on climate, I can confirm that David has put in an enormous amount of work “behind the scenes” to ensure that all that he conveys is factually correct. At the same time, David makes this challenging topic accessible to a wide audience. I warmly recommend this outstanding talk to everyone”. - Professor Alasdair Skelton, Director of the Bolin Centre for Climate Research at Stockholm University
