University of the Third Age (U3A): Dr John Happs "Climate Change - Should we be alarmed?"

The University of the Third Age (U3A) is a worldwide movement aimed at encouraging older people to remain mentally, physically and socially active.

The term University is used in its original sense as ‘a community of people who come together to learn from each other’. Third Age means the period of life following the First Age of childhood and the Second Age of working. For many it’s the time of achieving one’s maximum potential after the stresses of the Second Age are past. The benefits of U3A Perth membership are summed up by our motto:  “Learn Laugh Live”.

Dr John Happs has an academic background in geosciences {M.SC.1st Class, D.Phil.} including hydrology, climate and paleoclimate. He has followed with increasing concern the climate debate and the way in which politicians have ignored imperial evidence and have blamed climate change for droughts, floods and bushfires rather than bad policies.

This will be a very interesting talk which we hope you will find insightful and lead you to consider another side of the climate change story.
