CPAC and CBC climate changingness

Apparently there was an event called Canada 2020 in Gatineau, they had a variety of high-power speakers.  Unfortunately, while I think I'm supposed to consider Gatineau an integrated part of Ottawa (NOTE TO READERS: very slightly humour-tinged aside coming up) it might as well be on the far side of the moon for most practical purposes for me.  Plus which, I don't circulate in such lofty company.

Anyway, amongst other speakers (one of which to be mentioned in subsequent posting), Tim Flannery, the The Weather Makers author, "discussed ways to bring the public into the debate on global warming".

The video (Windows Media format) is available from CPAC: http://www.cpac.ca/asx/show_pr_can2020Flannery_mar27-07_eng.asx

If you want to skip the part with the politicians talking, Flannery starts at 15:23 into the feed.

CBC, Canada's national public broadcaster, has also been doing a series this week on global warming, with the anchor and others reporting from all over the world.  I haven't actually looked into it in enough depth to know whether they offset all that travel, if anyone knows, please leave a comment.

Apparently, Australia is a tad dry these days.
