Join us for a lively, stimulating, and often deep discussion with some really interesting people!
Sometimes I wonder if we should rename this group “The Guardian article discussion group”. The British daily newspaper The Guardian has become the world’s premier source of influential articles on climate change. Even American journalists such as Bill Moyers are getting their voice heard through The Guardian. At this month’s 350 reading group meeting, we will discuss two of the many articles on climate change that were published by The Guardian in just the past week. Of course, you can come without doing any of this reading just to enjoy the discussion. I will summarize the main arguments in the articles for everyone – but the articles aren’t that long and are well worth the read.
As usual, we will meet on the final Tuesday of the month, from 7:00pm to 8:30pm on May 28th at the Cepeda Branch Library, 651 N Pleasant Valley Rd, Austin.
