Global warming has led to melting of polar glaciers and serious environmental impacts to our earth. It is important for us to combat climate change and mitigate its impacts. With an aim to enhancing public awareness on climate change, the Environmental Campaign Committee, the Polar Museum Foundation, the Environmental Protection Department, the Hong Kong Observatory and the Hong Kong Science Museum jointly organize the 'Global Warming and Climate Variation' Seminar Series. Riding on the success of the first five seminars, the sixth public seminar cum exhibitions will be held on 5 June 2011 (Sunday), at the Lecture Hall of Hong Kong Science Museum. Mr. Chan Kin Fung, Simon, Senior Conservation Officer of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, Mr. Wong Kam Sing, Director of The Hong Kong Green Building Council and Dr. Lee Lok Sze, Rebecca, Founder of Polar Museum Foundation, have been invited to share their knowledge and insights with the public in the seminar. The exhibition will showcase a large number of precious photos taken by Dr. Rebecca Lee during her polar expeditions to illustrate the close relationship between climate change and the Poles.
