Short talk will probe the real causes of our environmental crisis, rather than the symptoms. Without identifying the causes we may not be addressing the real issues. Only by looking at the real causes can we be sure we are on the right path to dealing with the urgent issues of climate change and environmental stewardship. Event will open with a brief talk of 20-30-minutes followed by ample opportunity for questions and discussion. Informal reception follows. Please come be a part of this important conversation
