PBC July Discussion
Who: Shanghai Podcast Brunch Club
What is it:
What exactly is climate change? What’s the big deal? Can we do something to stop it? There are many questions surrounding climate change, and it is why the Geneva members felt it would be a great topic for a PBC discussion. As novices to climate change, we were looking forward to learning about the issue and learn we did! We reviewed a lot of episodes, including entire podcasts dedicated to climate change, and learned what 2 degrees means, what weather has to do with climate change, how diseases may get quite scary, and how politics has hijacked the science. The episodes selected touch only on some of this so we highly recommend you look at the bonus listening list too (available to PBC patrons). Climate change is truly a problem of epic proportions and we hope you enjoy discussing the science, the controversies, and the potential solutions.
When: Sunday, July 23, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Address: Tribe, 291 Fumin Lu, 1F, Room 103B
Price: FREE
RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/Shanghai-Podcast-Brunch-Club/events/241011263/
