Human population growth collides with global warming and resource depletion. It sounds like the plot for a B-grade movie, but this is the situation we now face. We are sailing full speed through dangerous waters.
The question is, what can we do about it?
These are the themes to be explored during the National Science Week event Can Science Save Humanity. You can hear what some prominent Australians have to say, and ask them your questions.
Featuring
Major General the Honourable Michael Jeffery
Clive Hamilton author Earthmasters: Playing God with the climate
