Last night I gave a presentation on energy and climate change to a group of 50 actuaries here in York. It went well, and there were several questions afterwards.
The problem is that it's a very serious subject, and also quite complex. Actuaries are used to difficult concepts of course - they spend their time deriving mathematical models of insurance risks. I think I kept their attention, because no-one walked out before the end!
Still, it would be good to inject a bit of humour into the proceedings. How can I make climate change amusing without making it trivial?
Any ideas? Any climate change jokes?
