Perish or Profit?

This talks discusses 'green capitalism' and the impact on environment and business of population growth, peak oil, water shortages, waste and global warming.  It then goes on to explain the scientific certainty around global warming and the uncertainties around the changes to our climate from that warming.   It was presented to a regional manufacturers association in September 2008.  "you have convinced me, I am no longer a global warming sceptic"   "I never realised the scale of the impact of economic growth on our environment" 

"Behavioural Changes from Climate Change" version 2

Was a talk to Rotary in August 2008.  Particularly focussed on addressing the arguments of the climate change sceptics and on the business opportunities arising from behavioural changes.   "A well balanced presentation, looking at all sides of the arguments"  "Now I understand what all the fuss is about"

"How will Global Warming change our behaviour"

Was presented to a large group of retired business men and women in August 2008.  It particularly clarifies the difference between global warming and climate change and was considered the best presentation they had received.   "A very entertaining presentation" "You made it simple enough for all of us to understand"

"Behavioural Changes from Climate Change"

Was a talk to a Greens group in July 2008 on how our behaviours are likely to change over the next few years and what the drivers of those changes are going to be.   "Very entertaining"  "Well presented"  "I like your sense of humour". 

"Making Sense of Climate Change"

This talk was given at a 2 day climate change summit in Sydney in 2007.  It was voted one of the best talks of the two days. It is a simple and straightforward explanation of the facts and fictions around global warming and its impact on our climate in a format such that can be used to educate employees and others.  "Very Informative"  "No one has ever explained it that well to me before"
