To really understand the world you need to get under the skin of the people and places. In other words, learn about geography….. I can’t imagine a subject more relevant in schools. We’d all be lost without it ... If we don’t understand geography, we can’t properly understand the past, present or future of our planet.’ Michael Palin, member of Monty Python and well-travelled author. In February, GTA held two award presentations at Parliament House – the HSC Students and Teachers Awards and the Arthur Phillip Awards. We were fortunate to have as our guest, Her Excellency, Administrator of the Commonwealth of Australia, Professor Marie Bashir AC, CVO.

MILLER: Virtually ever major, credible scientific organization in the world. It’s not just the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Organizations like the National Academy of Sciences, the American Geophysical Union, the American Association for the Advancement of Science. And that's echoed in most countries around the world. All of the most credible, most prestigious scientific organizations accept the fundamental findings of the IPCC. The last comprehensive report from the IPCC, based on research, came out in 2007. And at that time, they said in this report, which is known as AR-4, that there is "very high confidence" that the net effect of human activities since 1750 has been one of warming. Scientists are very careful, unusually careful, about how they put things. But then they say "very likely," or "very high confidence," they’re talking 90%. BROOKS: So it’s not 100%? MILLER: In the realm of science; there’s virtually never 100% certainty about anything. You know, as someone once pointed out, gravity is a theory. BROOKS: Gravity is testable, though..
