Hi folks

This just hit one the other listserves that I am on and I thought it  
might be of interest to you.

Lesley-Ann

"As many of you already know, the first of the next global series of  
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports will be  
released next week to the international community.  The IPCC provides  
an excellent opportunity for conversations with family, neighbors,  
colleagues and local policy makers about the basic science of climate  
change.  As a helpful prelude to those conversations, UForum at UCAR  
will be offering two webinars from well-known leaders in the field of  
climate science next week:

Topic:        Inside the IPCC Climate Science Assessments: From 1990 to 2013
Presenter: Gerald "Jerry" Meehl (NCAR senior scientist and IPCC scientist)
Date:        September 17, 2013
Time:        Noon - 1:00 pm (EDT, UTC -4)

Topic:        Communicating Climate Change in the U.S
Presenter:  Anthony Leiserowitz (Director, Yale Project on Climate  
Change Communication)
Date:        September 19, 2013
Time:        Noon - 1:00 pm (EDT, UTC -4)

To sign up to attend either, please visit:

You also can ask questions of either presenter in advance when you  
register or during the webinar.

For those unable to make the webinars but interested in watching  
archived versions, they will be accessible online at the YouTube  
AtmosNews site shortly after the events:

Change and its Fifth Assessment Report, please visit the IPCC website:
