Tim is our main speaker.  He is a nuclear physicist and professor who has devoted a lot of time to the study of climate change.  He kindly donates his time to inform anyone who would like some straight facts about what's happening.  His presentations vary in length depending upon the time availability and educational level of the audience.

(We are grateful to Tim's employer, the University of the Fraser Valley, for supporting Tim in providing this important public educational endeavour, and to BC Hydro for supplying literature and high efficiency light bulbs for audiences).
