Climate Change: Come Join the Conversation
November 01, 2017
The members of Westmount’s Healthy City Project invite everyone to an open discussion on the growing issue of climate change.
Interest by the public in climate change has been waxing again recently, especially with the Paris Climate Agreement and President Trump’s withdrawal of the world’s most powerful nation. The longer we wait to act, the more dangerous it will become. CC, along with its many consequences, is one of the main preoccupations of the WHCP/EC. CC is ultimately driven by our over-zealous burning of fossil fuels, a natural limited resource.
To promote as much public involvement as possible, we have invited a panel of three prominent local experts, who will first briefly present their cases, followed by an open forum with questions from the audience. Our guests are:
Damon Matthews, Professor and Concordia University Research Chair in Climate Science and Sustainability
Gerald Ratzer, Professor Emeritus, Computer Science, McGill University, believer in CC but it’s not primarily anthropogenic
Jeannine St-Jacques, Assistant Professor of Geography, Concordia University, specializing in paleoclimate change
Moderator: former City Councillor Nicole Forbes.
The event is free, and everyone is welcome. Please register at eventbrite.ca.
Time: 7:00pm
Venue: Victoria Hall
Location: 4626 Sherbrooke Ouest, Westmount Montreal, QC
