Whoo boy. It must be rough out there when CSIRO has to have seminars on how to deal with us rowdy ruffian \u201cdeniers\u201d. I\u2019m surprised though, a 15 million budget, and they ask you to bring a sack lunch?<\/p>\n

================================================<\/p>\n

DSE invites members of the Victorian Public Service to a presentation on:<\/p>\n

Dealing with climate change denialism with Paul Holper, CSIRO<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Popular opinion on climate change often waivers, particularly when the media focus on denialist views and encourage \u201cdebates\u201d with climate change scientists.<\/p>\n

The Victorian Government, along with other governments in Australia and across the world, rely on the scientific community for advice on climate change and its likely impacts.<\/p>\n

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is recognised as the international authority on climate change science and denialist views often lack rigor and credibility in comparison.<\/p>\n

Paul Holper (CSIRO) will present on ways to approach climate change denialism in a Victorian context.<\/p>\n

To register for this event please email: climate.change@dse.vic.gov.au by Friday 11 June 2010<\/p>\n

Friday 18 June 2010, 12:00 pm \u2013 1:30 pm (includes question time)

\nBYO lunch!<\/p>\n

Paul Holper
\nPaul manages the CSIRO\u2019s involvement in the Australian Climate Change Science Program, a $15 million program supported by the Commonwealth Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency. This program undertakes observations of the atmosphere, oceans and terrestrial systems, as well as climate model development, and projections of Australia\u2019s likely future climate. Paul coordinated the most recent climate change projections for Australia (based on IPCC models), announced by BoM and CSIRO in 2007.<\/p>\n
