Climate conversations - what are the odds?
Tuesday 17 December from 6.30pm to 7.30pm, Microsoft Teams
What are the odds
- off exceeding 1.5 degrees of global warming in the next four years? Evens
- that we can prevent 2 degrees global rise by 2065? Not good! 4:1 against
- that we can make a difference? What do you think?
There’s lots we can do where we live to slow down climate change - recycling initiatives, energy saving schemes or joining communty groups. But will any of these make the differences needed?
Out climate conversations will look at the most up-to-date scientific evidence and ask – do we need big solutions now?
