Climate Communication - Moving forward on climate change mitigation and adaptation
by Byrne, James 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

Hello all, This is an excellent OpEd from Mark Jaccard at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC. Mark addresses the Orwellian doublespeak heard constantly from the fossil fuel companies, lobbies and governments. This is rampant in Canada as the current right wing government pushes very hard on behalf of expanding market for Canadian fossil fuels.

Climate Communication - "They're BAAAAACK! Stars of Chapman Strut Their Stuff at AGU Fall Meeting - PLEASE JOIN THEM IN ED007!!!"
by Geoffrey Haines-Stiles 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

Abstracts requested for ED007: "Climate Literacy: Anytime, Anywhere Climate Communication" - Abstract submissions for AGU Fall Meeting open only until August 6! Greetings, Snow Mountain/#ChapmanClimate vets: Apologies for the wacky title: have been reading too many pleading Obama e-mails, but hoping it gets your attention - abstract deadline Tuesday next, August 6th. We're excited to announce a new session at the AGU Fall Meeting (9-13 December 2013 in San Francisco, CA), entitled “ED007: Climate Literacy: Anytime, Anywhere Climate Communication - Successful Strategies Outside the Classroom” (see description below). We invite you to submit an abstract to this session which will cover diverse perspectives on innovative and effective climate communication strategies outside of the classroom. As you can see, two of the presenters were part of the excellent Chapman Conference and we invite fellow attendees to contribute updates for the still-larger AGU community. The deadline for abstract submissions is August 6, 2013, 23:59 EDT (+1 GMT). Website & registration: http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/. Please email Billy Spitzer (bspitzer(a)neaq.org) or Geoff Haines-Stiles (ghs(a)passporttoknowledge.com) if you have any questions. ED007: "Climate Literacy: Anytime, Anywhere Climate Communication - Successful Strategies Outside the Classroom" Convenors: Billy Spitzer, Jennifer Schwarz Ballard, Martha Shaw, Geoff Haines Stiles, Marda Kirn Description: How can we take advantage of the 95% of our lives spent outside the classroom to promote public understanding of, engagement in, and dialogue about climate change? A variety of creative avenues are being employed to address the cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions of climate change, using innovative messages, unexpected messengers, and impactful metaphors to make this issue visible, visceral, personal, and actionable. These projects involve informal education (zoos, museums, aquaria), citizen science, data visualization, humor, TV, film, social media, billboards, viral video, photography, animation, gaming, theater and other arts - often in combination to achieve maximum impact. Confirmed Invited presenters: • Laurel Whitney, Pace University, DeSmogBlog, on the use of humor via social media • David Lustick, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Carbon Smarts project on climate communication via posters, etc. on public transportation • Sandra Buffington, Director, Hollywood, Health and Society, Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, University of Southern California, The Norman Lear Center, Beverly Hills, CA • John Cook, Skeptical Science, combining open-access peer-review, mainstream media outreach and viral social media marketing There are several related sessions, but hoping at least some of you will find this "informal" focus the right place for your abstracts. As ever, Onwards & Upwards...

Hello all, MSNBC is running what looks like a good news documentary on August 16 - link below. The discussion will focus on how the fossil fuel industry denies climate change. Has anyone seen the show? This documentary may be quite important in climate education. Advice and discussion is much appreciated.

Climate Communication - Natural Hazards Abstract submissions for AGU Fall Meeting now open
by Courtney St John 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Dear C olleagues, We are excited to announce a new session at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting (9-13 December 2013 in San Francisco, CA), entitled " NH005 Climate Change Effects on Natural Hazards: Science, Communication and Policy ”, jointly sponsored by the NSF “Decision Making Under Uncertainty Collaborative Groups.” We invite you to submit an abstract to this session and contribute to what will be a relevant and timely discussion! A one page description is attached, and below is a bit more about the session. Please email Kelly Klima (cc'ed) and Courtney St. John with any questions. Please feel free to distribute to your networks. Background: NH005 Climate Change Effects on Natural Hazards: Science, Communication and Policy session is jointly sponsored by the NSF “Decision Making Under Uncertainty Collaborative Groups”. This session is a “Characterizing Uncertainty” SWIRL session, and sponsored by the Natural Hazards (NH), Global Environmental Change (GEC), Atmospheric Sciences (AS), and Societal Impacts + Policy (SP) focus groups. SWIRL Sessions fall under five themes aimed at promoting interdisciplinary collaboration at the Fall Meeting. Deadline: The deadline for abstract submission is August 6, 2013 , 23:59 EDT (+1 GMT). Website & registration: http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/ . Presenters must be AGU members. Please email Kelly Klima and Courtney St. John (contact info below) with any questions. Description: All scientific bodies of national or international standing accept the finding of anthropogenic climate change. Scientists have tested possible links between climate change and extreme weather events, and found that climate change will likely increase the probability of some events including heat waves, heavy precipitation events, and local flooding. Some of these effects may already be occurring. This session will discuss extreme weather events, primary and secondary climate change effects on other natural hazards, and the societal impacts from these conditions. Improving our understanding of these uncertainties and how people make decisions may help inform risk communication and policy choices. Confirmed invited presenters : · Joshua Elliott, Center for Robust Decision Making on Climate and Energy Policy ( RDCEP ) , University of Chicago · David Krantz, Center for Research on Environmental Decisions ( CRED ) , Columbia University · M. Granger Morgan, Climate and Energy Decision Making Center ( CEDM ) , Carnegie Mellon University · Dave D. White, Decision Center for a Desert City ( DCDC ) , Arizona State University Best regards, Kelly Klima kklima(a)andrew.cmu.edu Climate and Energy Decision Making Center Research Scientist, Carnegie Mellon University http://www.epp.cmu.edu/ Courtney St. John cstjohn(a)ei.columbia.edu Center for Research on Environmental Decisions Earth Institute, Columbia University http://cred.columbia.edu
