Hard hitting global and local news
Tweet Nonono, not the policy statement , well there is that, but a bunch of resources that ACS has put out there a climate science tool kit for folks to learn from and use, put together by a top notch working group with support from ACS leadership. As part of the effort ACS held a meeting to brief staff about how to approach climate communication When a conversation turns to climate change, do you know the basic science to take part? Do you understand the far-reaching impacts of climate change and how it’s affecting you today? Learn the answers to these questions and more. There are three professionally illustrated PowerPoint presentations which can be used in toto or from which slides can be select: One for the public , one for educators and one for industry professionals (Powerpoint downloads). And yes, a plug for Skeptical Science This site is very helpful for a non-climate scientist who wants to stay current with the literature on global warming and climate change

Tweet In the latest rendition of Salby Tunes Eli wandered over to the Scottish Sceptic’s summary of Murry Salby’s talk in Edinburgh. The Scep did a reasonable job of summarizing the talk, which appears of a piece with Salby’s Hamburg seminar . That was well shredded by the Weasel in penance for his sins. Still, there does appear to be something new, Salby is now claiming that the increase in CO 2 mixing ratio is due to thermal decomposition of soils. Eli was feeling obscure at the time so the Bunny inquired Now Eli is but an ‘umble Rabett, innocent as the bunnies of the field, a little bunny foo foo as it were, (fair warning) and it occurs to him that there is a significant indicator of CO2 emission by combustion and not warming, contained in the Keeling curve but not much remarked upon and certainly not mentioned by the Good Dr.

Tweet Interesting article in Nature on 20 weird tips "to improve policy-makers’ understanding of the imperfect nature of science" and reduce belly fat. It’s good although even better IMNSHO would be directions on how to choose between dueling experts. I’d guess they’d say just discount the experts that run afoul of the most tips.

The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional.
