Frozen Planet - On Thin Ice. A discussion evening with Professor Jonathan Bamber head of the Bristol Glaciology Centre. 7:30 - 9:30pm, St Peters Church, Portishead. We will be showing "On Thin Ice" the final episode of the BBC's Frozen Planet series which highlights the accelerating loss of ice in the Arctic and trying to understand why it is happening and what it means not just for the Arctic and the animals and people who live there but for us and the rest of the world. Perhaps you think it is a good thing opening up exploration for much needed fuels and minerals and allowing easier shipping of goods. Or maybe you are concerned about the effects of climate change and the wider implications for the world we live in. Come along and join the discussion.
