The SFU Vancouver Speaker Series returns on November 22, with “Climate Wars,” a lecture by Dr. Gwynne Dyer.
Moderated by Georgia Straight editor Charlie Smith, Climate Wars is based on Dyer’s book of the same name. Drawing on interviews with scientists, policy-makers, and military strategists, in a dozen different countries, it explores the grave geopolitical implications of large-scale (and probably rapid) climate change.
Dyer has worked as a freelance journalist, columnist, broadcaster, and lecturer on international affairs for more than 20 years, but was originally trained as a historian. With a Ph.D. in Military and Middle Eastern History from the University of London, Dyer served in three navies, while his first television series, the 7-part documentary ‘War,’ aired in 45 countries.
