date: Wed, 14 May 2003 14:43:20 +0100 from: "Lamb, Angela" subject: Climate Change Debate at Liverpool John Moores University to: "'m.hulme@uea.ac.uk'" Dear Professor Hulme we are holding a 6th form debate entitled "Climate Change: past present and future" here at Liverpool John Moores University on June 30th this year (please see attached outline). We have held two such debates in the last 9 months, one on Biodiversity and one on the Gaia Hypothesis (see links below for reports). The day consists of an opening address by an eminent scientist before the students break up into small discussion groups led by staff/research students. Each group formulates a question or two that is put to a panel of experts in the form of a debate, chaired by the eminent scientist. In the past students have got a lot out of this contact with scientists and we think it is a valuable way to introduce 6th formers to key environmental topics. The experts on the panel represent a variety of aspects of the topic and we would appreciate it very much if yourself, (or if you are unable to make it, perhaps another representative from the Tyndall Centre) could make a contribution to the proposed debate as an expert on future climate change predictions. Currently on the panel we have Adrian Lister from UCL (discussing climate change in the past) and David Vaughan from the British Antarctic Survey (discussing the role of the major ice sheets). We could cover expenses and provide a lunch, but there is no fee. If you want more information please contact me by one of the means shown below. I very much hope you can make it.
