Tuesday July 13: Climate Change - what price the yet unborn?
Dr Kevin Tate will identify several ominous reminders that we live on the planet with finite resources that are already under great and increasing stress. He will present the most recent evidence on climate change and outline our recent responses, both globally and in New Zealand, including comment on the failed Copenhagen meeting last December and on our ETS. Kevin will end with some examples where real progress is evidence of change.
Starts 7:30 pm at Te Manawa ART, Palmerston North. Entry by gold coin donation. All welcome!
Tuesday 20th July: Dinner and Debate - "Food, Forestry and Land Use"
The debate/discussion will feature Professor Jacqueline Rowarth of Massey University and NZ Farm Forestry Association patron Dr Wink Sutton.
Will New Zealand's future role will be feeding an increasingly hungry world or growing wood? How much of New Zealand's land is really suited to producing food? And how much needs forest cover?
