Beer n Bullshit Sundowner - Net Zero Presented by Dr Jaap Poll

Hi Sheddies,

Whilst we advertised our next B&B session would be on the Pyramids, unfortunately our planned guest speaker, Michael Wilson, will be wandering off on a highly sought after fishing holiday next week and so his talk will have to be held over until another date. We wish Michael every success on his trip as we fully understand the need to go fishing when you can. This is a Men's Shed after all.

We have however been very fortunate to be able to secure one of our other sheddies, Dr Jaap Poll to step forward and fill the role as guest speaker.

A brief synopsis of Jaap's talk follows.

 “Net Zero - what does it mean and can it - and should it - be done by 2050 - or at all?” 

Governments of the free world are obsessed by "Net Zero" (whatever that means). They are led to believe that the “Science is Settled” and supported by 97% of Scientists. They have convinced themselves that the electorate wants “net zero emissions" to save the world from an “ecological catastrophe”. It is blindly assumed that we can stabilise climate, including Global temperature, by just becoming carbon neutral (whatever that means) - in the process Men can achieve something mother nature has never strived for, let alone managed - (and we learn to play God in the process).

In this presentation, one of our founding Shed Members Jaap Poll will discuss the findings he and fellow Geoscientist and Shed member Michael Wilson have been discussing with scientists all over the world - on climate change, the benefits of CO2 and recently about the Net Zero obsession. 

Jaap will use selected slides to illustrate current thinking

So come along, be educated, inquisitive, engaged and be social by enjoying the company of your fellow Sheddies and partners at this Sundowner. Refeshmentsw and the usual nibbles will be available as usual.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you all at what should be a very interesting and lively talk.

Best regards

Peter Panek
