Whats Missing at the U.N. Climate Panels Meeting on Climate Change Communication
2016-02-09 01:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: In a 2011 post on the limits of climate science communication in shifting public policies or personal behaviors, I called myself a recovering denialist, laying out my reasoning this way: My denial, I said, lay in my longstanding presumption, like that of many scientists and journalists, that better communication of information will tend to change peoples perceptions, priorities and behavior. This attitude, in my view, crested for climate scientists in the wake of the 2007 report from the...

The 63-year-old from Wimberley, in Central Texas about 260 miles south of Denton, arrived in the Granite State on Tuesday and returned home Saturday, filling the time in between by attending town hall meetings with the U.S. senator from Texas, as well as those of former Florida Gov.

Climate Home: As fireworks light up the sky for Chinese new year, not everyone is celebrating. Human rights lawyers are in detention for subversion of state power and a record 49 journalists were jailed last year. Western concerns about the Communist Partys controlling stance have not stopped the two sides working together on climate change. A 2014 US-China agreement to curb greenhouse gas emissions is widely credited with unblocking global cooperation on the issue. Beijing is developing bold plans...

Australia: CSIRO climate cuts attack a national treasure when we need it most

Guardian: The decision to gut Australias government science agency of climate research may seem hard to fathom. But lets pause from the hyperventilation of the past week and ask whether there is an underlying logic. Could the shift from studying how climate changes, to studying ways of mitigating and adapting to climate change, be a good thing? The CSIROs chief executive, Larry Marshall, who is responsible for the decision, has deployed several arguments in defending the move. Lets take a look at...

Age: CSIRO head Larry Marshall has sought to defend deep cuts to climate science programs after days of sustained criticism, saying global warming research was "one piece of a much larger puzzle" in solving Australia's biggest challenges. His defence came as dozens of scientists, including some whose jobs are under threat at CSIRO, rallied in Melbourne, warning the cuts would hurt Australia's ability to address the climate change threat. In a lengthy statement released on Monday, Dr Marshall said...
