But hearing him speak his brilliant mind in person is a rare event. You\u2019ll have that opportunity on Wednesday, Nov. 17, when Nikiforuk gives the prestigious Harvey S. Southam lecture by invitation of the department of writing at the University of Victoria. If you can\u2019t be in the room, the address will be livestreamed.<\/p>\n<p>The title of his talk is \u201cEnergy Dead-Ends: Green Lies, Climate Change and Chaotic Transitions.\u201d If you\u2019ve been reading Nikiforuk over the years, you may recognize some of those themes.
