On March 27th, we hosted Dr Aaron Thierry, earth-system scientist, campaigner and CNU member who gave a talk on 'The Brutal Logic of Climate Change'.
Dr. Aaron Thierry gave an overview of the latest science of climate change making explicit the connections between the physical and ecological changes already taking place with their impacts on human welfare and suggested that current emissions targets are not anywhere near ambitious enough to avoid extremely dangerous alterations to our environment.
We hope you found it informative and that you feel as though you can see a way for you to get involved in helping to meet this challenge.
