How are we to interpret this complex pattern of climate change, and what are the implications for the future of the Last Continent? A recent report by the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change identifies the response of the great ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland to climate change as the greatest uncertainty in projections of sea-level rise. Why, when much other climate science seems to be converging, is there uncertainty about this part of the puzzle? In a wide ranging talk Dr. Vaughan will cast some light on these issues, which may not be as simple as the sound bites would lead us to believe.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For more information, contact Brian Zavala <</SPAN><A href="mailto:brian.zavala@mail.utexas.edu"><SPAN style="text-decoration: none; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">brian.zavala@mail.utexas.edu</FONT></SPAN></A><SPAN style="">><O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">*******************</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="font-family:Helvetica">(FORUM 2) <B>NCAR Early Career Scientists Assembly (ECSA) 2007 Junior Faculty Forum – July 9-11, 2007 – Boulder, CO (USA)</B><O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></SPAN><A href="http://www.asp.ucar.edu/ecsa/announce.jsp"><SPAN style="text-decoration: none; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">http://www.asp.ucar.edu/ecsa/announce.jsp</FONT></SPAN></A><SPAN style=""><O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The NCAR Early Career Scientists Assembly (ECSA) is pleased to announce this year's Junior Faculty Forum, sponsored by the NCAR Advanced Study Program.

"You were a spin doctor," Rep. John A. Yarmuth (D-Ky) told the lobbyist. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Republicans targeted a NASA director who testified about administration pressure, accusing him of political bias, of politicizing his work and of ignoring uncertainties in climate change science. And they disputed his contention that taxpayer-funded scientists are entitled to free speech. "Free speech is not a simple thing and is subject to and directed by policy," said Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah). The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing was marked by an open confrontation between Chairman Henry A. Waxman (D-Los Angeles) and the ranking Republican, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista) — a rare display of direct debate in otherwise carefully choreographed hearings.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The hearing was the latest effort to challenge what the Democratic congressional majority sees as the Bush administration's unchecked use of power. In the past few weeks, Democrats have held inquiries or announced plans to examine the unmonitored use of national security letters that allow the government to spy on Americans, the dismissal of U.S. attorneys and the identifying of former covert CIA operative Valerie Plame, among other issues. Waxman has been particularly aggressive, pursuing inquiries about intelligence in the lead-up to the Iraq war and the politics of global warming. To support their charges Monday, the Democrats produced hundreds of pages of legal depositions, exhibits and e-mail exchanges between administration officials. The paper trail illustrated how officials with no scientific training shaped the administration's climate change message and edited global warming reports, inserting doubt in the place of definitive statements and diminishing the role people play in the planet's rising temperatures. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Waxman's committee received more than eight boxes of papers from the White House Council on Environmental Quality that he said provided disturbing indications of political interference. "There may have been a concerted effort directed by the White House to mislead the public about the dangers of global climate change," said Waxman, who also cited the administration practice of "controlling what federal scientists could say to the public and the media about their work." "It would be a serious abuse if senior White House officials deliberately tried to defuse calls for action by ensuring that the public heard a distorted message about the risks of climate change," Waxman said. One example showed how a report originally said the U.S. National Research Council had concluded that "greenhouse gases are accumulating in the atmosphere as a result of human activities, causing surface air temperatures to rise and subsurface ocean temperatures to rise." *<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Edits by ex-oil lobbyist Philip Cooney, the oil lobbyist who became chief of staff at the Council on Environmental Quality, changed that to read: "Some activities emit greenhouse gases that directly or indirectly may affect the balance of incoming and outgoing radiation, thereby potentially affecting climate on regional and global scales."<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said the edits confused public understanding of the issue. "If we push our climate system hard enough, it can pass tipping points," he said. "That is not a situation we want to leave for our children." Hansen decried political interference in climate change science. "Scientists shouldn't be hired to parrot some line." <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal">******************</DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="">(NEWS 6)<B> California Coast Panel Files Navy Sonar Suit</B></SPAN><SPAN style=""><O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></SPAN><A href="http://www.examiner.com/a-633702~Calif__Coast_Panel_Files_Navy_Sonar_Suit.html"><SPAN style="text-decoration: none; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">http://www.examiner.com/a-633702~Calif__Coast_Panel_Files_Navy_Sonar_Suit.html</FONT></SPAN></A><SPAN style=""> <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Or: </SPAN><A href="http://tinyurl.com/26kg2m"><SPAN style="text-decoration: none; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">http://tinyurl.com/26kg2m</FONT></SPAN></A><SPAN style=""><O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>San Francisco Examiner - LOS ANGELES - State coastal regulators and environmental groups separately sued the Navy on Thursday because of its decision to continue sonar training exercises off California without precautions opponents contend are necessary to protect marine life.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Earlier this year, the California Coastal Commission approved the exercises during a two-year period only if the Navy took safeguards to protect marine mammals and sea turtles.
