We’re in beautiful, environmentally conscious and scientifically literate Boulder, Colorado, this week, participating in an international conference on Culture, Politics, and Climate Change. The conference is co-sponsored by the Center for Environmental Journalism and a number of other components of the University of Colorado. Keynote speakers, with whom many of our readers may be familiar, include Ray Bradley (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), Mike Hulme (University of East Anglia), Wendy Parker (Ohio University), and Spencer Weart (American Institute of Physics). CSW director Rick Piltz will present a paper on “Obama and the Politics of Climate Science Communication.”  The conference program is here. We’ll follow up with more on the conference and on our paper.
