Towards a warmer world - Hot Science Cool Tales with Veronika Meduna

Kylie from Hutt City Libraries

The year 2015 was the hottest on record since we started collecting global temperature measurements in 1880 but 2016 is on track to break that record as the warmest year ever.

Hear acclaimed former Radio New Zealand science writer and the author of 'Towards a Warmer World: What Climate Change Will Mean for New Zealand’s Future', Veronika Meduna, on our future in a warming world.

Find out what our ancient geological past, current observations, and sophisticated climate models are telling us about the possible end-of-century scenarios for New Zealand. Could distorted ecosystems, extreme weather, new landscapes and adapted foods be some of the likely changes?

War Memorial Library, 2 Queens Drive
Thursday 10 November, 6.30pm

Hot Science Cool Tales is run in conjunction with GNS Science. This is the last one for 2016!

Sandra from Normandale

Guess what, as the oldest dweller, well one of, in Normandale, it is always me who rings the council when the street lights go out for a week or more.
YOU too can ring HCC 570 6666 to report faults.
