PRESS CONFERENCE ON ARCTIC ICE OUTLOOK


Just heard that Climate Nexis is holding a Web Ex press conference right now.  Bunnies are invited to join but let the press ask the questions

Most experts now predict that sea ice-free Arctic summers may occur as soon as 2030, a dramatic shift from the International Panel on Climate Change’s 2007 projection of an ice-free summer by 2100. Some say it could happen this decade.

WHAT: A WebEx tele-press conference with four leading scientists
WHEN: 11:00 AM EST TUESDAY, MARCH 26
WHERE: Please use this link to join. The password is “arctic.”
WHO:

  • Dr. Walt Meier, Research Scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC)
  • Rear Adm. David Titley (retired), Expert in the field of climate, the Arctic and national security; Former Deputy Undersecretary of Commerce for Operations, the Chief Operating Officer position at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

"Some say"

You have to be a Very Serious Person to be wrong as often as Some and still be quoted so often.

Interesting choice of panelists.

Missed it due to being a late-rising West Coast bunny, but if a recording becomes available please point to it.
