I AM A CLIMATE SCIENTIST By Dan Ilic
“In the media landscape there are climate change deniers and believers, but rarely are those speaking about climate change actual climate scientists.”
This (clean extended) rap from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) Hungry Beast features some real, vocal, climate scientists responding to the posturing of climate change deniers in the media – check it out for some sweet relief if nothing else. There are a couple of versions around with varying degrees of adult concepts so be aware if little ones are watching with you. KA

Call for Climate Change Project Proposals
Posted in Events, Research by Virginia on May 12th, 2009
Despite broad recognition that small island, Arctic, high altitude and other vulnerable communities are on the frontlines of climate change, community voices have remained on the margins of global climate change debates. It is these voices, however, that most need to be heard. They provide first hand evidence, experience and expertise on climate change impacts and adaptation.With assistance from the Government of Denmark, UNESCO’s Frontlines Forum is funding local projects on climate change impacts and adaptation.
What are we funding?
Community-level projects focusing on local experiences with climate change impacts and adaptation. These could involve field research, interviews with community members, workshops, photo projects, film projects, etc.
Who are we funding?
Proposals can be made by interested groups or individuals, for example, local and indigenous organisations, research centres, researchers, graduate students with interdisciplinary training, community members (youth groups, women, elders) etc.
What topics?
Projects could explore any topic relating to climate change and local communities.
To apply, fill out the proposal form
