Concerning the film and exposition currently being showcased by Dr. 
David Suzuki (please see below), I would suggest that interested parties
have a look at
http://www.carleton.ca/~tpatters/teaching/climatechange/climatehome.html
before attending.  This web page indicates that the global warming "crisis"
is nowhere near as likely as Dr. Suzuki would have us believe... and even
if it does occur, who is to say that the consequences are bad?  The truth
is that no one really knows.  

Dr. Suzuki should be questioned on why he is so certain that this is a
catastrophe in the making when even specialists in the field are generally
not prepared to make such a statement.


Here is the original announcement:

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

The David Suzuki Foundation and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities
host the world premiere of "Turning Down the Heat: The New Energy
Revolution," along with an exhibition of alternative energy technologies at
the Ottawa Conference Centre (across from the Chateau Laurier) March 26,
1999. Exhibition opens at 5:00 p.m. Film screening and keynote address by
Dr. David Suzuki will be at 7:30 p.m. Free admission. Come early, seating
is limited.


"Turning Down the Heat," produced by Jim Hamm with the National Film Board,
showcases practical and economically viable solutions to climate change. In
addition to the film and address by Dr. David Suzuki, there will be an
opportunity to view the latest in alternative energy and energy efficiency
technologies. Displays will include wind and solar power, as well as
transportation and energy conservation alternatives.


If you're worried about how climate change will affect you and your family
but feel like there's nothing you can do about it, this event will leave
you inspired and optimistic about a cleaner, healthier future.
