I think the media should be trained in this area. Reporting climate change requires understanding of the issue, then the public could be well informed in non technical ways thereafter.
You know something, there are some unexplained phenomena which are affecting us, Denise. A lot of it has yet to be researched on, and studied deeply. Take for instance, the problem of glacial melt. Outside the poles, the Himalayan ranges are known...
Dr Abedin,
You are right, this is a real and valid question that begs responses.
Ecologists are becoming ever more sensitive to the effects of climatic variation on different time scales, in different environments and biotic systems. They and ot...

- Hello, I work as a trainer and auditor for the London Environment Centre. Most of the organization's clients are SMEs looking to green their products, services and internal practices.
My focus is on developing and running training programs in addition to conducting environmental assessments and audits for the above sector. Most of the work we do is funded through ESF, ERDF and the LDA but we also have some larger commercial clients.
If you are interested in any environmental topics and want to chat drop me a line!

Climate change and the mass media
There seems to be a lot of debate and a growing number of empirical studies on how climate change is reported in the prestige press. What I am wondering, however, is if climate scientists and journalists have failed to see the importance of targeting popular media sources (e.g The Sun in the UK) in order to expand the climate change discussion.

- Hello Sven,
I wasn't able to open the link you posted on your thread. What you're proposing sounds very interesting but could you give some more specifics (e.g. audience, time-frame, will this be done commercially, location, etc..).
I look forward to hearing from you,
Denise

- Hi Denise, so sorry for my very delayed reply.
I think the trend in science writing in the Philippines is more reactive to the events that crop up (news on earthquake, tsunami, biofuels, new biotech events etc). This may be explained by the situation that reporters who cover science are not full time to the beat, but have other stories to cover and write. Science news is not given importance and prominence in all the news media. Seldom do news reports, such as the need for focus on science and math education in elementary and high-school education, get in the front page. Its only my paper which does.
I hope I answered your question. Best regards.

- I have held similar views about UNEP before and did not think they were set up to do field projects. Their strength was originally in the intellectual arena and most of the best achievements were when they sought to connect science with diplomacy to effect international action. I am an enthusiastic supporter of the Brazil-born (yes) Executive Director, Achim Steiner, and believe he will help to give the organization a new focus. And as for the thesis, I can only share a piece of advice I once received from Professor Raphael Kaplinsky at Sussex University and have share it at every opportunity: "The purpose of doing a thesis is to finish it." Wishing you will with your writing. You have no monopoly in tht department: I am working on a book on resistance to new technologies which is not moving as fast as I can. It seems that self-administration of macumba does not guarantee good results...

- Hi! Sorry for the delayed response but i am a few weeks to deadline on my dissertation so its been quite hectic!
You're right, the ethanol story has definitely developed since the time of your thesis. Wow, you started an organization! That's great! Do you guys do a lot of work with UNEP or are you more focused on small-scale projects? Personally, I'm not a big UNEP fan because i feel that in many cases they get caught up in certain trends and pour money in projects fitting with these trends and then once the prjoect is complete, or too big of a mess to contnue, they leave what they were working on in a very similar state as it was prior to their 'aid'. well, enough ranting and raving. :D to answer your question, I'm brazilian but i left the country w/ my family when i was 14. we moved to texas where i did my high school and then i went to uni in DC. since then i've been in greece, italy and now england, so a lot of moving around (and even more un-brazilianizing in the process). hehe so, you need to teach me some of the macumba techniques you were talking about, they might help expediate my writing process for my dissertation! although, like the state of my country, i might be in too dire a situation for it to have any effects on my current progress :) haha
