An upcoming event and a report from a recent conference address how better to communicate climate scence to the public.
In January, the Erb Institute of the University of Michigan and the Union of Concerned Scientists gathered 90 leading scholars, business leaders, policy makers, advocates, religious leaders and journalists at U of M to explore communicating climate science. The summary report, just published, distills the collective wisdom of that landmark two-day event. It's well worth a read.
In a similar vein, the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center will present Peter Joseph, M.D., speaking about "The Climate Crisis: Science vs. Denial" on 10 July (South Lake Tahoe) and 11 July (Incline Village). You can download a flyer from TERC with more information about Dr. Joseph and his presentation.
