Eco Fashion Week is fast approaching as we seem to be racing through September and the beginning of Fall! As we mentioned, we're looking forward not only to the fashion events, but also the various seminars taking place through out the day on Sept 28 + 29.
Over the next week and a half, we're hoping to spotlight some of the different seminars taking place to help spread the word on these amazing speakers coming to Vancouver. We're going to kick things off with the Keynote speaker at this year's event!
Dr. Andrew Weaver // Global Warming: The Scale of the Problem, the Path to the Solution
10:00 am — Wednesday, September 29 @ Creekside Community Centre.
One of the world’s leading authorities on global warming and climate change, Nobel Prize winning Andrew Weaver is the author of numerous articles on climate change and has served as a lead author on the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Currently professor in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria, Dr. Weaver’s exceptional research achievements, scholarly writing, and efforts to share his knowledge are truly remarkable and have been critically influential world-wide and at home.
During the seminar, the foundations of the science of global warming will be presented and a discussion of our present climate will be framed within a historical perspective of the Earth’s climate over the last 800,000 years. The range of projections of climate change over the next century will be summarized and the public confusion arising from the media portrayal of the science and its entry into the political arena will be discussed
This talk will be based on the book: Keeping our Cool: Canada in a Warming World.
