Leading climate scientist to give lecture - Massey University
Internationally renowned physicist Dr James Hansen will give a public lecture on climate change at the Manawatu campus on Friday May 13.
...
Dr Hansen’s lecture will focus on human-made climate change as a moral, political and legal issue. “Human-made climate change is a moral issue,” Dr Hansen says. “It pits the rich and the powerful against the young and the unborn, against the defenseless and against nature. Climate change is a political issue. But politics fails when there is a revolving door between government and the fossil fuel-industrial complex. Climate change is a legal issue. The judiciary provides the possibility of holding our governments accountable for their duty to protect the public interest.”
