Michael Northcott in Melbourne talking about global warming
February 21, 2008
A Moral Climate:
the ethics of global warming
Climate change is a global problem requiring a global solution. But what are the ethical and moral implications for us in finding solutions? How does what we do in Australia affect the world’s poor? What would Australia’s fair share of the earth’s resources look like? What should we be doing to acknowledge our historical responsibility?

Professor Michael S Northcott
Thursday 13th March
7.30pm

Welcome to Tim Jeffries
Urban Seed is excited to have our newest member of staff on board. Tim has joined the Youth and Schools Team after having 4 different jobs in 2 years. He's been working for churches, labouring for a landscape construction business and running a work for the dole project. Tim is married to Jay and lives in Preston where he is part of a community called Loam. He spends as much time as he can there working in his veggie garden, playing soccer with the local kids and sharing life with his neighbours. He is most of the way through a theology degree but can't imagine not studying at least something part time so will probably just start something else when he finishes. Tim is soon to be a dad and isn't sure what's going to happen next.
