SUMMARY:Gecko Talks 22nd May – How Climate Change will affect Living in the Gold Coast and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Climate Change Update:How this will affect living in the Gold Coast—and BeyondGecko Talks – Wednesday, May 22nd at Currumbin RSL\nThe debate on climate change is rightly focused on the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gases. But whatever our success or failure in mitigating emissions, we must now also ask how the harmful impacts of a rapidly-changing climate affect living on the Gold Coast—and beyond.\nYou can learn more when world-recognised authority on this challenging topic, Prof Brendan Mackey, Director of the Griffith Climate Change Response Program at Griffith University, updates us at the Gecko Talk on May 22nd.\n‘There is now irrefutable scientific evidence that our climate is changing rapidly as the result of greenhouse gas emissions from using fossil fuel and deforestation and degradation,’ Prof Mackey says.\n‘It is critical that we start to address the latest scientific findings on how the climate is changing and the impacts these will have on Australia, Queensland and the Gold Coast.’\nProf Mackey will discuss some of the consequences of climate change for people and the economy. He’ll outline what it means for iconic ecosystems such as the Great Barrier Reef, economic sectors including tourism, urban planning and liveability and human health.\nProf Mackey is currently serving as a Coordinating Lead Author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report, Chapter 11 – Australasia.\nGecko Talks is on Wednesday, May 22 at Currumbin RSL.\nEveryone’s welcome and it’s free.\nCome early and buy a delicious RSL meal.\nCall Gecko on 07 5534 1412 for more information or turn up on the night.\nWhen:  Wednesday, May 22, 2019\nTime:    6:45PM for 7:00PM Start\nWhere: ‘The Cove Room’, Currumbin RSL, 165 Duringan Street, Currumbin\nCost:     FREE! (Don’t forget, you can buy a meal there before the talk.\n\n\n\n\n
