What with holiday travel, and various other commitments, we’ve missed a few interesting stories over the last week or so. <\/p>\n

First off, AGU has posted highlights from this year’s meeting – mainly the keynote lectures<\/a>, and there are a few interesting presentations for instance from Tim Palmer<\/a> on how to move climate modelling forward, Ellen Mosley-Thompson<\/a> on the ice records, and David Hodell<\/a> on abrupt climate change during the last deglaciation. (We should really have a ‘videos’ page where we can post these links more permanently – all suggestions for other videos to be placed there can be made in the comments). <\/p>\n

More relevant for scientist readers might be Michael Oppenheimer’s<\/a> talk on the science\/policy interface and what scientists can usefully do, in the first Stephen Schneider Lecture. There was a wealth of coverage on AGU in general, and for those with patience, looking through the twitter feeds with #agu10<\/a> shows up a lot of interesting commentary from both scientists and journalists. Skeptical Science<\/a> and Steve Easterbrook<\/a> also have good round ups. [edited]<\/p>\n

Second, there was a great front page piece<\/a> in the New York Times by Justin Gillis on the Keeling curve – and the role that Dave Keeling’s son, Ralph, is playing in continuing his father’s groundbreaking work. Gillis had a few follow-up<\/a> blogs<\/a> that<\/a> are also worth reading. We spend a lot of time criticising media descriptions on climate change, so it’s quite pleasing to be praising a high profile story instead.<\/p>\n

Finally, something new. Miloslav Nic has put together a beta version of an interactive guide to IPCC AR4<\/a>, with clickable references, cited author (for instance, all the Schneiders<\/a>) and journal searches. This should be a very useful resource and hopefully something IPCC can adopt for themselves in the next report. <\/p>\n
