DESCRIPTION:Green Planet Films and the Humanist Hall presents a film screening of THIN 
 ICE: The Inside Story of Climate Science.  Q&A with special guest Peter 
 Barrett, a geologist from New Zealand, and Exec Producer of the 
 film.\n\n6:30-7:30 optional Potluck refreshments and social hour. Film at 
 7:30.\n\nABOUT: In recent years climate science has come under increasing 
 attack, so concerned geologist Simon Lamb grabbed his camera and set out to 
 explore the inside story of climate research. For over three years he 
 followed scientists from a wide range of disciplines at work in the Arctic, 
 Antarctic, Southern Ocean, New Zealand, Europe and the USA. See how they 
 collect and analyse climate data.\n\n40 scientists participated, covering a 
 wide range of disciplines. They talk about their work, their hopes and 
 fears with a rare candor and directness, resulting in an intimate portrait 
 of the global community of researchers racing to understand our planet's 
 changing climate and provide a compelling case for rising CO2 as the main 
 cause.\n\nwww.thiniceclimate.org\n\nPETER BARRETT BIO\nVICTORIA UNIVERSITY 
 OF WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND \nPeter was studying geology at Auckland 
 University when a chance trip to Antarctica led him to a life-long interest 
 in its climate history. Since 1975 he has led a series of offshore drilling 
 projects for a history of Antarctic climate and ice sheet behaviour since 
 its inception around 34 million years ago. In recent years he has become 
 interested in the perspective that climate change on geological time scales 
 provides for future human-induced climate change. After gaining a PhD from 
 Ohio State University in 1968, he returned to New Zealand to become 
 Founding Director, Antarctic Research Centre, Victoria University of 
 Wellington (1972-2007). From 1998-2004 he was New Zealand's representative 
 on the Antarctic Treaty System's Committee on Environmental Protection. He 
 was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Geological Society of London in 
 2011.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/07/07/18758372.php
