Peace Group Talks: NSA talk on Wednesday, November 13, Global Warming on Monday, November 18

Climate Reality: Global Warming

The Walpole Peace and Justice Group is sponsoring a talk by David Flannery on ‘Climate Reality: Global Warming’ on Monday, November 18th at 7:00 PM at the Walpole Public Library. In the last few years, there has been an increase in both the frequency and intensity of extreme weather-related events:  super storms, floods, severe droughts and wildfires.  Connecting the dots between these occurrences around the globe establishes the linkage to climate change.  Science, based on objective facts, sheds light on the impacts of climate change to date and what is expected to occur in the near-term if we stay on our current path.  David will review the drivers of climate change and, most importantly, discuss the solutions at-hand that will put us on a path towards a long-term sustainable climate.  Matters of equity, justice and morality will be addressed as they relate meaningfully to the current climate crisis.

David Flannery  is a member of the Climate Reality Leadership Corps , a group of 3,000 dedicated volunteers around the globe who are personally trained by former Vice President and Nobel Laureate Al Gore to educate the public about climate change. David graduated from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies with a Master’s degree in Environmental Management (Natural Resource Economics Concentration) and from the Yale School of Management with an MBA (Strategy Concentration). He is currently head of CarbonLeaf Consulting where he develops focused, fact-based business plans for clean technology companies in several markets, including: advanced materials, conservation & efficiency, energy technology, resource recovery, sustainable agriculture, and water purification.

The talk will be in the Community Room at the Walpole Public Library, 143 School Street, Walpole, MA.

Reminder that the talk by Kade Crockford, on ‘NSA Spying: A Threat to our Democratic Freedoms' is on Wednesday, November 13, 2013, 7:30 PM  at the Walpole Library
