2014 CIRES' Annual Science Symposium
On May 2, Joanna Boehnert presented a poster on her research on "Mapping Climate Communication" at the Annual CIRES' Science Symposium. Boehnert's poster explores two decades of climate communication. Actors are color-coded according to their tendency to either deny or acknowledge climate change - or as involved in the production of climate science itself. The poster is the first iteration of a project mapping organizations, individuals, discourses, methods and funders that contribute to climate communication. The work visualizes research by Professor Max Boykoff (and others) using network visualizations, timelines and strategy maps. This timeline illustrates the temporal growth of climate communication as described in Who Speaks for the Climate? (Boykoff, 2011, Cambridge University Press). Visualizations developed here will become a series of posters presented next at the Changing Climate Change Communication conference in Amsterdam in July and then completed in final versions September 2014. Feedback, critique and suggestions requested!

The attachment below includes the agenda from the weekend. View Agenda.
Reconciling the Science and Economics of Climate Change: The Social Cost of Carbon
by Eban Goodstein
February 22, 2013
Prior to the C2C workshop beginning, ICE CaPs hosted a free event on Friday, February 22nd, at CU-Boulder on the Social Cost of Carbon by Eban Goodstein from the Bard Center for Environmental Policy. The talk looked at how scientific assessments of climate change consequences forecast massive physical changes to the planet's biophysical systems, and by extension, to human economic and social systems as well. However, some economists - while accepting the basic science of climate change - have suggested rather modest mitigation policies. This talk explored these differences in perspective. Read more ...
