In this session Mark Edwards, an internationally acclaimed photographer whose pictures have been seen by millions around the world, will give a climate slide show titled 'Hard Rain.' Mark has travelled in over 150 countries to show the extent and nature of the environmental crisis that threatens to engulf us all. Hard Rain takes us on a journey through tropical rainforests, man-made deserts, across mega-cities and peasant villages and into communities of indigenous people living in the most remote habitats on earth. But this slide show is not just another travelogue. Drawing on his collaboration with the renowned physicist David Bohm, Edwards shows how the process of thought itself is bringing about these unintended results that threaten the very existence of civilisation.
