Bringing people together to improve communication of research findings
In a consumerist system, money is the only standard for measuring value. The maximized return of money becomes society's central aspiration. Antagonism,
individualism and rapacity are fostered as privileged cultural values. Bank

recently gross national income (GNI), etc are the accepted…

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.

G8 is done and now researchers and policy makers are busy getting the tone set right for the Bali meeting in December for Climate Policy Negotiations.

Any news on the beyond Kyoto…

My work is in integrated resources management and conservation. Some of the work is at the policy level and some is very "on the ground" dealing with the livelihoods of communities and poverty reduction. A number of outputs and findings from these projects are as important as the findings of pure science and social science.…

It's 4:05 a.m., Pacific time. I am sitting, staring at my computer screen, trying to assemble the last bits of the newspaper for which I work. My deadline: 8 a.m.-- a mere four hours away from freedom.
Mark Twain once said, "I am not the editor of a newspaper and shall always try to do right and be good so that God will not make me one."
Twain is as correct now as he was in 1870.
