The vid of Isaac Asimov talking about the Greenhouse Effect in 1989 reminds us this is an old topic, one which hasn't been addressed satisfactorily at all since it came into the public arena way back in the 1960s.

"This will workshop be a great opportunity to develop strong relationships with other groups in Sydney, plan out what this campaign looks like for CASES in 2011 and develop skills to build your group. We'd be very keen to have you along as it is important to have a very vocal and noisy voice for 100% renewable energy in Garrett and Turnbull's seats! We know a 3 day workshop is a big commitment but by joining you will be coming together with about 60 groups across the country in an active campaign - so this is the one workshop not to miss this year! "Do let me know if you have any questions, otherwise look forward to hearing from you soon. Cheers, Lindsay" It'd be great if we could have two Casees in attendance. :-) Here’s the latest info from Lindsay:
