Thursday, October 26, 2023 @ 7:00 pm EST - Seeing the Methane, then What?

This talk will describe ‘optical gas imaging’ and advocacy to stop the harm from the oil and gas industry at an international setting. As we will get to see the air pollution, what can we learn from frontline Indigenous, Black and small farmer communities in Latin America about the impact of resource extraction and contamination on their lives, livelihoods and health, and what are some alternatives to the presence of oil giants in their communities?

Thursday, November 9, 2023 @ 7:00 pm EST - Why We Didn't Act on Climate and How to Act Now: Lessons learned from geology to behavioral science

We've known about fossil fuel's increasingly harmful impact on our atmosphere since at least the 1950's. Why didn't we act? We'll explore the changing relationship between science, government, business, people, and climate action, what holds people back from acting, and how to accelerate climate actions and policies with behavior change.
