The Wilson Center is a policy thinktank in Washington, DC. They’ve got a webinar planned on climate adaptation, presumably from a policy perspective, scheduled for 10 June. I’m not familiar with the speakers or their organization, so I can’t comment on any more on the presentation itself. Their notice below.

UPDATE: You can see a short video of these kids from the week as described below. A marketing piece, but a very nice one.

I’m old enough that I was among the last generation to grow up with serious, warranted nightmares about massive nuclear exchanges between the U.S. and Soviet Union. I can remember being about six or seven and first learning about total nuclear annihilation; I had nightmares for a while, and I felt a consistent sense of fear and unease, certainly well into Bush 41’s presidency.

Tough Talking

I'm just back from a quick three-day trip to Austin, Texas, where I gave a talk with a Hewlett-Packard manager to some undergrads.

Then the other person -- Pierre in PA, John in TX -- talk about HP's climate mitigation work to reduce the company's carbon footprint.
