Climate Wars



Highly regarded Canadian journalist and international affairs analyst, Gwynne Dyer, will give a talk at Mount A entitled Climate Wars on Tuesday, September 25 at 7:30 p.m. in Brunton Auditorium, Marjorie Young Bell Music Conservatory.

Based on a forthcoming CBC “Ideas” series and Random House book of the same name (to be released in April 2008), the lecture looks at the frightening geopolitical implications of large-scale climate change. The talk is co-sponsored by l’Université de Moncton and Mount Allison University.

Dyer’s articles are published in over 175 newspapers in 45 countries. Dyer’s recent book, Ignorant Armies: Sliding into War in Iraq, reached number-one on the best-seller list in Canada in 2003.

His other best-selling books include Future Tense, War, and his most recent book, After Iraq, which was number three on this list this past spring. Dyer collaborated with Tina Viljoen on a documentary television series, War, one episode of which was nominated for an Academy Award.

He won Gemini awards for The Human Race, and Protection Force, a series on peacekeepers in Bosnia. Dyer is also an award-winning broadcaster of such series as The Gorbachev Revolution, based on his experiences in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union in 1987-90, and Millennium, based on the emerging global culture.
