Skeptical Science at AGU 2016
Posted on 11 December 2016 by John Cook
Next week is going to be an exciting and busy period for Skeptical Science. Several of us will be presenting talks and posters at this week's AGU 2016 Fall Meeting.
Monday
John Cook and Dana Nuccitelli will each be presenting talks in a Monday morning session on climate literacy (session ED12A in Moscone South, room 307). This session will also feature Naomi Oreskes, Richard Alley, Mark Jacobson, Peter Sinclair, Stephan Lewandowsky and Alan Robock - not to be missed!)
- Communicating and countering misconceptions about the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming (John Cook, 11.05am)
- Climate Models have Accurately Predicted Global Warming (Dana Nuccitelli, 11.50am)
John Cook will be presenting a poster about our Denial101x MOOC in a poster session on science communication through curricula (ED13A-0923) on Monday afternoon. You can check out the poster below (full PDF 28Mb):
Sarah Green (who happens to cameo in John Cook's poster shown above, sporting a very fashionable jacket!) is also presenting a poster Monday afternoon:
- Matter and energy flows in climate education (ED13B-0939: Moscone South - Poster Hall)
Tuesday
- Poster session ED21A-0761: Country Contributions to Climate Change (Keah Schuenmann, 8:00 - 12:00, Moscone South Poster Hall)
Thursday
- Climate Sensitivity and Feedbacks: Advances and New Paradigms II (Mark Richardson (Convener), 08:00am, Moscone West, Room 3010)
- Cloud properties retrieved from the OCO-2 A-band spectrometer (Mark Richardson, 5.45pm, Moscone West, Room 3012)
Friday
- Assessing Recent Warming Using Instrumentally-Homogeneous Sea Surface Temperature Records (Zeke Hausfather, Kevin Cowtan, 3.10pm, Moscone West, Room 3005)
I'll be there, and would love to talk about Alaska's role in the climate conversation. I'll see if I can catch John or Sarah at their posters. I'm interested in seeing climate mitigation become more a part of Alaska politics. I'm interested in the whole range from specific climate science (my poster, EP41A-0900, is related to landslide tsunamis following deglaciation), to adventure narrative as a means of conveying climate science, to climate advocacy.
