guest speaker with stories and insights from around the world
Climate change
and global warming talk
I have lectured at university and been a speaker on climate change and global warming for many years, as well as visiting Antarctica with leading researchers in climate science and working on an international ocean and climate research ship.
This talk is great for a school or general audience which wants to know what the impacts might be, the difficulties of measuring environmental change, and how the evidence was collected. As a speaker known for my ability to popularise and engage, this talk is far from being dry.
The understanding of climate change, and the role humanity plays, has
been a painstaking story of patient detection. Climate changes naturally for
a variety of reasons and science has to carefully attempt to seperate the
consequences of natural change from anthropogenically caused change. This
has involved the development of novel ways of gathering data from the past
to better understand the future: from the icy wastes of Antarctica, to the depths of the oceans.
