Controlling the Carbon

Mike Lawrence, JTL Systems Ltd

Thursday 26th January 2005 at 19:30

Cantley House Hotel, Milton Road, Wokingham

Light refreshments available from 19:00-19:30

This topical lecture considers Global Warming and in particular
controlling carbon issues. The introduction will consider global
warming; whether it is happening, its cause, the Kyoto protocol. Then
the Carbon System will be described: absorbtion by ground and sea,
emissions, and the future. Also to be mentioned are other chemicals
and their effects.

Energy issues will then be addressed: energy reduction, carbon neutral
energy generation and use, and fair shares, energy rationing and its
implication on the economy and society. Finally to be discussed are
the strategies that we are being forced to evolve towards: the
predictable impacts of those strategies (not forgetting unintended
and/or unpredicted consequences as well!) and predictable impacts of
carrying on regardless.

If you want to know more, come along. All are welcome and no ticket is
required. Simply turn up on the night. For more details please contact
