AGU Chapman Conference on Climate Science Communication
A couple of weeks ago, there was a small conference on Climate Science communication run by the AGU.

There were a couple of notable features: the conference had a lively twitter hashtag (#climatechapman), and almost the entire proceedings were webcast live (schedule). The video from this has now been posted on YouTube in more bite-sized chunks.
While our own presentations (Mike here and Gavin here) are available, it is worth watching the presentations from people you might not have heard of, as well as a few from more established people. We’ll embed a few here, but please point out some of the other ones of interest in the comments.

So this might be a good time to chime in with your suggestions as well as discussing the latest climate science issues.
