Next Monday’s meeting (10 August) will be held via Zoom, 12.15 for a 12.30pm start.  Being the 2nd Monday of the month, we will have an out of town speaker – Prof James Renwick from Wellington’s Victoria University, who will present some of the science on climate change.  The following is the Zoom link and please forward to friends or family who are interested in learning more about this important subject.  It could be a lively session!

 

 

Dr Renwick’s specialty is climate change.  James is a well-known NZ science communicator. The citation for his 2018 Prime Minister's Science Prize for Communication stated that he "communicates with warmth, humour and positivity, while always being clear about the seriousness of the issue".  James was a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 4th and 5th Assessment Reports and worked for NIWA for 20 years.
