I draw Members' attention to the Brave New Climate website of
Australia's Professor Barry Brooks at

http://bravenewclimate.com/

where this appears:

Professor Barry Brook holds the Foundation Sir Hubert Wilkins Chair of
Climate Change and is Director of the Research Institute for Climate
Change and Sustainability at the University of Adelaide.

He has published two books and over 130 peer-reviewed scientific
papers, and regularly writes opinion pieces and popular articles for
the media. He has received a number of distinguished awards in
recognition of his research excellence, which addresses the topics of
climate change, computational and statistical modelling and the
synergies between human impacts on Earth systems.

Effective communication of the science of climate change is
fundamental to providing policy makers with the type of evidence
required to institute meaningful mitigation policy and to understand
available adaptation options. It is this imperative that has Barry to
take an active leadership role in the communication of the science of
global change to government, industry and the community (directly, via
public lectures and workshops and advisory committees, and indirectly
via the media - including television, radio, the print media and
popular science articles).

It is his belief that presenting hard-won technical scientific
evidence to a broad audience in an intelligible way is the surest path
to provoking meaningful societal change towards long-term sustainability.
