The Weekend Wonk: Richard Alley at Chapman Conference
July 6, 2013
Richard Alley gave one of the best presentations, (competition was stiff) at the recent Chapman Conference on Climate Communication in Granby CO.
I’ll be posting more of the best ones here in coming days. If you’re interested, the playlist is here.

Thank you Peter, that was excellent! As usual, Richard Alley makes things substantive and understandable. Strong science will overcome zombies, any day.

Climate sensitivity based on the fast responding elements taken into account. So is not the climate so much more sensitive once the slower responding elements are considered? Consider how gentle the Malankovich cycles are and yet that is sufficient to throw us into and out of ice ages.
Even scarier is the falling of a cliff of crop yields.

This ain’t Climate Communication …it’s just a giant waste of time preaching the converted.
Hey…even this blog’s blogroll only contains links to a certain kind of websites. Compare that to the blogrolls of WUWT or Bishop Hill and you’ll see what I mean.
One should have the courage of one’s own convictions, to the point of trusting they will survive competition. Otherwise as I said it’s just a waste of time, a tacit admission of defeat.

So I should link to “Answers in Genesis”?

there’s a lot more popular out there than Answers in Genesis

I sure you have watched them all. I surprised you did not comment on Pete’s section.
Did you know that one was also called?
“Preaching to the Choir And Empowering The Congregation: Using Facebook And Face Time To Counter Denial”
Do you have any constructive comments on communication from the conference?

cannot be more constructive than asking communicators to communicate (instead of preaching or worse, approach people with condescension)

I’m watch the latest playlist – it seems to be going in reverse order? They are all quite good, in my opinion, but this one is quite concerning:
