With the American Meteorological Society in town this week for their annual meeting, I felt honored to be asked to sit in on a panel discussion on communicating climate change. There were about 30 folks with diverse backgrounds and we were all allowed to voice our opinions/beliefs regarding what we felt regarding AGW. Several Profs/Phds were vocal about CO2 being the driver of our current warming CYCLE. On MY side were several Profs. who agreed with my opinion that CO2 cannot be the driver, but rather a minor player in warming the Planet. I was surprised at the civility of the panel especially since the AMS organized it. The deck was not stacked against either side. Instead, it was agreed that more discussions in the future should be encouraged regarding AGW. FYI...the day before our panel met, the AMS council voted to delay a vote on passing a statement on Climate Change. However, there is an advocacy group that is trying to attack/denigrate any TV Weathercaster who disagrees with the climate "concensus" group. I'm also honored to be in that group.
Today I sat in on talks regarding the 2011 hurricane & tornado seasons. Lots to report on in future blogs. Back on-air on Thursday which could turn stormy. stay tuned!
