Speaking honestly about dangerous climate change:
a briefing for environmental campaigners
with Tom Athanasiou
3.30-5pm Thursday 9 August
Friends of the Earth, 312 Smith street, Collingwood (near Johnston Street). #86 tram from the City.
The emerging scientific consensus tells us we have very little time to act if we honestly expect to avoid
a global climate catastrophe. To keep below even a 2-degree target, radical cuts in local and global greenhouse gas emissions
are required.
Tom Athanasiou is executive director of EcoEquity (www.ecoquity.org), a US-based climate think-tank which works closely with church, aid agencies and environment
organisations. He is the author of books including 'Divided Planet: The Ecology of Rich and Poor',' Dead Heat: Global Justice
and Global Warming' and the forthcoming 'Justice Within Limits: A New Deal for the Greenhouse Century'.
