On Thursday 9 February 2017 between 1-2pm there will be a LUNCHTIME TALK in the Djanogly Theatre,
Admission free
Mark Twain reputedly claimed that ‘Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it’. But do we in fact know whom to blame for ‘bad’ weather? In this talk Professor Mike Hulme of King’s College, London University, surveys different historical and cultural explanations for bad weather and ends with some reflections on whether or not climate science today is offering a new and helpful narrative of blame.
