(2) NAVIGATING THE TWIN CHALLENGES OF OIL SCARCITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE NOV.
12
2009 GUPTILL MEMORIAL PUBLIC LECTURE
 Dr. David Keith, Director, ISEEE Energy Environmental Systems Group, Canada
Research Chair in Energy and the Environment, Professor, Dept of Chemical
and Petroleum Engineering & Dept of Economics, University of Calgary
Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 8:00 PM, Ondaatje Hall, 6135 University
Avenue, Marion McCain Arts and Social Sciences Building. Reception to follow
in the Atrium. Dangerous Abundance: We are threatened by both the scarcity
and the abundance of fossil fuels. The scarcity of conventional oil poses a
serious threat to economic and geopolitical stability. The abundance of
fossil fuel resources poses a threat that is at least equally serious,
climate change- the greatest global environmental threat of our age- which
is rooted in the extraordinary abundance of fossil resources and the growing
ease with which our technology can exploit them. I will explore the tension
between oil scarcity and climate change using two extreme scenarios: first,
a world where carbon-climate risk is the driving energy challenge and
second, one in which peak oil dominates. The two scenarios bound the likely
path to the future enabling us to see the sum of the more onerous
constraints, and through them, to imagine future opportunities.


(3) WWF-CANADA'S OIL AND ICE TOUR! ANDREW NIKIFORUK BACK IN HALIFAX. NOV. 13
WWF-Canada is proud to host the cross-Canada speaking tour of award-winning

Arctic sea ice and the exploitation of the Alberta tar sands are connected,
and how they are shaping Canada's future. WWF aims to stimulate debate among
Canadians about the choices and consequences - political, cultural, economic
and environmental - involved in how we develop the tar sands and respond to
a changing Arctic. Make your voice heard and join the discussion in your
city. The event is FREE and begins at 7:00 pm. Please invite your
colleagues, friends and family to come too!

Building, 6061 University Ave, Dalhousie University. Organized by Abolishing
the Status of Animals as Property (ASAP). Working hard to overcome the many
challenges of growing up in a poor and violent Brooklyn neighborhood, Eddie
Lama developed a deep sense of identification with the vulnerable and
voiceless beings of our world. In one of the most moving sections of The
Witness, he describes the harrowing experience of being beaten and left for
dead, crying out for help and no one responding. Eddie then shares how this
trauma helped him understand the plight of animals, who so often endure
violence with no one to even witness their tragic fate, much less advocate
on their behalf.

Training Activists to Stop Climate Change
Politicians talk about climate change, but do nothing. Tired of all the hot
air? Now you can do something!
Register for a Greenpeace Climate Action Camp and learn how peaceful civil
disobedience can make Canada a climate leader. All camps are on weekends -
Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday. We encourage participants to car pool
to the camps & organizers will help link up participants for this purpose.
Depending on registration, group transportation may be organized. So please
register! Background - In December 2009, the fate of the earth will be
decided at the United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen. We
must demand leadership from our government to make Canada part of the
solution, rather than part of the problem. At the Climate Action Camps,
experienced trainers will give workshops on climate change, peaceful civil
disobedience, environmental justice, art and activism, action planning, and
getting the message out to the media. Suggested donation for the weekend is
$20 - $50 (including meals) but no one will be turned away due to lack of
funds.

(13) CLIMATE COVER-UP TALK NOV. 25
Wednesday, November 25, 2009 from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. FREE Admission
Room 125, Chemistry Building, Dalhousie University, 6274 Colburg Rd.
Climate Cover-up is a bold critique of the unsavory PR campaign that has
perverted the public conversation about climate change. For two decades,
when the world should have been tackling the greatest environmental threat
ever to face humankind, we have been paralyzed by doubt and indecision.
That's no accident. As Jim shows in page after carefully documented page,
we've been stalling because some seedy and self-interested people have
worked extremely hard to convince us the problem may not be real. Climate
Cover-up rips the lid off that disinformation campaign. It exposes early
strategy documents in which oil and coal companies at times working with the
tobacco industry describe how they plan to undermine the integrity of
science. Leveraging four years of work on Jim's DeSmogBlog, Climate Cover-up
names names, analyzes tactics and illuminates strategies. It shows how
easily reporters and politicians have been bamboozled and how badly the
public has been deceived. It's time to end the Climate Cover-up. Please RSVP
to rsvp at hoggan.com with 'Halifax' in the subject line.

(18) SOCIAL MEDIA FOR NONPROFITS: COMMUNITIES THROUGH CONNECTIONS NOV. 13
Developing a community for any non-profit organization is often a high
priority. Through this community an organization can draw support in
numerous ways, two of the most important being financial support and a
volunteer base. With the development, and subsequent intense growth, of
social networks, building these communities seems to have become both easier
and more difficult depending on your knowledge base. Luckily, learning how
to use these tools is not as hard as it may seem, and GPI Atlantic is here
to help. Following-up on the success of our premiere seminar, we are proud
to present yet another in the series. This time around the focus will be on
building these communities and continuing to develop them using such things
as Facebook, Twitter and WordPress. Coupled with the screening of more
selections from the IFC seminars, the session will also feature a
presentation from a local entrepreneur, Rob MacArthur, who has learned to
utilize the web to develop communities for his local co-operative office
called The Hub. his record label From Here to There Records, as well as his
own personal business Rock Garden Jam Spaces. Operating on what he would
surely call a "no-profit" model typical to the music community, Rob will be
available to answer your questions on how you can adapt these new tools to
your needs.

Rob MacArthur: Rob is a music fanatic and entrepreneur. He is the
owner/founder of the Rock Garden Jam Spaces and partner in From Here to
There Records. Most recently, he helped to found The Hub, a downtown
co-operative office and meeting space. As an avid user of social network and
blogging technology to develop both awareness and a community around his
many projects, Rob is currently working on a strategy for local musicians to
harness digital tools to develop their individual communities, as well as
the music community at large.

(23) INVITATION TO PROVIDE COMMENTS ON PROPONENT'S GUIDE TO WETLANDS
An invitation to provide input - Government recently released a draft of the
Nova Scotia Wetland Conservation Policy for consultation and invited the
public to provide feedback. Nova Scotia Environment has now released a
supplemental document, A Proponent's Guide to Wetland Conservation - Draft
for Consultation (PDF: 424k), that we are inviting comments on as well. Nova
Scotia Environment has released the draft guide to provide proponents with a
clear description of the operational details that are needed to implement
the Nova Scotia Wetland Conservation Policy. The guide will provide details
for those aspects of the Nova Scotia Wetland Conservation Policy for which
NSE has the lead role and clarifies the departmental decision making process
with respect to proposed alterations to wetlands. A step-by-step approach is
described for determining whether a wetland alteration application is
needed, what information must be provided as part of the application, and
how NSE will make decisions on these applications. Compensation options and
requirements, Environmental Assessment and sector-specific requirements and
a number of other details related to the wetland alteration application
process are also included. We hope this promotes better project planning,
assures greater awareness of the full range of potential environmental
impacts associated with a particular project, saves time and money through
increased efficiency in navigating the approval process, and ultimately,
provides greater certainty around project decision-making. Any thoughts you
have about the details provided in the document would be appreciated and
should be directed to the contacts listed below.
