Global Warming: How Do We Manage the Risks?Submitted Sun, 2008-03-02 10:07 — Sundog Stephen Schneider Robert D. Clark Lecture in the Humanities Stephen Schneider "Global Warming: How Do We Manage the Risks?" Stephen Schneider will talk about how much more could be done to substantially reduce the magnitude of the risks associated with global warming if only we can summon the political will to take decisive action—soon. Schneider is the founder and editor of the interdisciplinary journal, Climatic Change. He is editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Climate and Weather and author of The Genesis Strategy: Climate and Global Survival; The Coevolution of Climate and Life; Global Warming: Are We Entering the Greenhouse Century? and Laboratory Earth: The Planetary Gamble We Can’t Afford to Lose. In 1992 Schneider received a MacArthur Fellowship for his ability to integrate and interpret the results of global climate research through public lectures, seminars, classroom teaching, environmental assessment committees, media appearances, Congressional testimony, and research collaboration with colleagues. He was elected to membership in the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in April 2002. Currently, he is actively involved with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Lessons for the Future from Canada’s Climate Policy FailuresSubmitted Sat, 2008-02-23 00:44 — Kevin Washbrook Dr. Mark Jaccard, professor in Resource Environmental Management at SFU, former Chair of the BC Utilities Commission and an award winning author of numerous books on climate and energy policy, critiques where Canadian governments have gone wrong in fighting global warming, highlights policies which can reduce emissions, and explains why BC's new carbon tax is an important milestone. You should come to this talk if you want to be able to distinguish a market mechanism from a regulation or voluntary initiative and understand which one can reduce emissions most efficiently. Bring along a friend who is cynical that any government has the ability to reduce emissions, or who thinks that the solution to this problem lies outside the world of public policy all together.
