Climate Communication - PLEASE consider signing - Paris climate conference in December - . world leaders make serious commitments to avoiding climate catastrophe
by Byrne, James 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Sent on behalf of almost 400 signatories as of October 1, 2015 An open letter addressed to world leaders ahead of the Paris climate conference in December. The letter is framed in moral language and calls for world leaders to make serious commitments to avoiding climate catastrophe, and for citizens to hold them responsible. The letter is being hosted at the Global Climate Change Week website. Our goal is to collect a significant number of signatures from academics around the world and to place the letter, with several translations, in The Guardian (or a similarly high profile outlet). Ideally, we hope to get as many notable academics as we can to sign the letter early. The letter just went live and I invite you to sign the letter (if you approve) and pass it along to colleagues. http://globalclimatechangeweek.com/open-letter/ Lawrence Torcello Assistant Professor of Philosophy Rochester Institute of Technology 92 Lomb Memorial Drive Rochester, NY 14623-5604 Office Phone: 585-475-2327 Office Fax: 585-475-7120 Email: lgtghs(a)rit.edu<mailto:lgtghs@rit.edu> Please visit: http://campaigns.gofossilfree.org/petitions/Fossil_Free_RIT -- James M.

by Michel Bourqui 01 Oct '15

Dear Friends and Colleagues, Dont you think it would be useful to give everyone an access to climate sciences which is reliable, free, understandable, and in direct connection with working climate scientists? We do! To pursue this goal, we founded Climanosco, a strictly independent, non-profit association. Today, we already have 65 members all around the world. We also have 16 climate scientists from leading research institutions in climate sciences around the world who committed to submit an article by the 15 October 2015. This is an excellent start, but its just the start! We are on Crowdfunding on Indiegogo until 15 October! So that we can develop Climanosco further in a strictly independent manner, we need a powerful support for our Crowdfunding Campaign. With this money, we will develop our platform into a professional publishing platform; we will grow our community and publish many exciting articles. Would you like to support us? Make a special donation of $50, $100 or whatever you can afford at http://igg.me/at/climanosco2015 before 15 Oct. French and German translations are available on the same site. Any help in spreading the word is also warmly welcome! Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and forwarding this email to all your friends, relatives and colleagues who might be interested in this initiative. More information on Climanosco is available at http://www.climanosco.org <http://www.climanosco.bourquiconsulting.ch/> / . Thanks in advance for your support! Dont hesitate to contact me by email or on the phone at +41 44 350 11 36.
