Hi everyone,
We will meet at:
Brisbane City Council Library.
Topic for this month:
Dr Geoff Chia will, subject to finalisation, give a talk on peak oil.
I think this will be a good opportunity for us to have a chat about environmental issues and the effect of belief/non-belief on how we deal with those issues. This may be topical in light of Sen Fieldings comments and views. Read more
