The issue of electricity generation in New Zealand and the wider issue of climate change were the themes of Brian Leyland's address to the club. It was a detailed and wide ranging address covering NZ energy production, the costs and difficulties associated with getting to net zero, the issues and limitations of renewable energy production and storage and questions about the impact of our efforts on global climate. On the issue of global warning and climate Brian questioned the scientific communities conclusions about man-made global warming arguing that there was no real world evidence supporting it. A selection of images from Brians presentation are attached below. For readers who would like access to the full presentation I have that as a Powerpoint and can make it available via email on request. A number of Brians key points and assertions are at odds with those of the majority of the wider scientific community and there will be readers of the Bulletin who will disagree strongly with at least some of the points made. The questions that followed the presentation indicated that members are certainly keenly interested in the ideas and material that Brian presented. |
