Due to the Perth Royal Show delaying normal proceedings our very next Beer and Bullshit event on Wednesday 11th October.
The presenter for this meeting is our very own member, Dr Jaap Poll, who will be providing a very interesting presentation on Climate Change.
Jaap has provided the following outline of his presentaion:
Title: The Geologic Facts about Climate Change - (climate change is real – with or without people)
One of the original founders and current member of our Showgrounds Mens Shed, Dr Jaap Poll is a Geoscientist and worked in the oil industry on all continents before settling in Australia in 1969, first with Shell followed by Woodside in the 70’s. Jaap has lived in Perth since 1980 with a short 2 year break in PNG as CEO of OilSearch.
Jaap has been active in the climate change debate over the past two decades. Climate has been changing ever since earth started to develop an atmosphere a few billion years ago - you would have thought that all educated people know this - including climate scientists. The geologic record shows that earth has been warmer and ice free for most of its time with much higher CO2 levels than today, even during its colder periods. The record also shows that CO2 is not the temperature driver. With changing temperatures CO2 slowly follows, not the other way around.
…. and yet the world is obsessed with zero carbon at horrendous cost to mankind
As per usual, folowing the talk, there will be loads of time for questions, fellowship and the opportunity to socialise with your fellow Sheddies.
So come along, be educated, inquisitive, engaged and be social by enjoying the company of your fellow Sheddies at this Sundowner.
Best regards
Peter Panek
President
