"Putting a Chill on Global Warming"

Please note that this section was originally created so the many people contributing to the emPower exhibition could see what everyone else was doing. So the printable material was converted to html on the fly.

As a consequence there is no navigation system and some of the documents are poorly formatted. Otherwise the information is the same as in the actual exhibition.

You can click any link next to a topic to go to the exhibition information. You will then have to use the back button to return to this layout before you can go to the next document and so on.

We apologise for any inconvenience, but we believe it is more important to make the material available as soon as possible than to wait until someone volunteers to make it look good. 

If you are willing to do that job or know someone, please contact us. Thank you.

Some exhibition documents are not yet in below layout (or not yet linked). They will be made available over the next weeks.
