"Can we ignore anthropogenic climate change?"

The science behind climate change is well established. Consequences and impacts are becoming much better understood and quantified. A clear and easy to implement solution that is broadly accepted has not yet been formulated. Action is way behind schedule. Meanwhile, the challenge is how to deal with the global economic, political, social, environmental and health impacts. This talk will present my perspective on the issues and, perhaps, raise more questions. I hope to leave you challenging yourselves to think about the world we live in and what you care about, if for no other reason than to have a better understanding and commitment.
