Have a question about the most recent IPCC report (https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/) or about climate science and modeling in general? Join Dana Nuccitelli, CCL Research Coordinator and leader of Science Policy Network (https://community.citizensclimate.org/groups/home/1773) and Dr. Ben Santer, research scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for CCL's quarterly Ask Me Anything with some of the most well-respected climate scientists in the country! For those who'd like to read works by Dr. Santer in advance for deeper questions, see his "climate fingerprint" research here: https://www.sigmaxi.org/news/keyed-in/post/keyed-in/2019/11/11/how-do-we-know-that-human-activities-have-affected-global-climate and his recent essay for "The Hill" here about the release of the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report: https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/567678-how-ipcc-went-from-not-proven-that-we-cause-climate-change-in-1990 CCL's Climate Science Basics Training: https://community.citizensclimate.org/topics/climate-change-science/basics About Dr. Ben Santer: Research Ben Santer is an atmospheric scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He studies natural and human “fingerprints” in observed climate records. His early research contributed to the historic 1995 conclusion of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: “the balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate”. He served as lead author of a key chapter of that report. Since 1995, Ben has identified human fingerprints in atmospheric temperature and water vapor, ocean heat content, sea surface temperature in hurricane formation regions, and many other climate variables. Education Ben holds a doctorate in Climatology from the University of East Anglia, England. After completing his Ph.D. in 1987, he spent five years at the Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany, where he worked on developing and applying climate fingerprint methods. Ben joined Lawrence Livermore in 1992. Other information Ben has received a number of awards for his research. These include a MacArthur Fellowship (1998), membership in the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (2011), and the Procter Prize (2019). The most significant awards are the friendships he has made during his career. In addition to his research, he cares deeply about the communication of climate science to a wide range of audiences. He writes for the Scientific American blog and has appeared on “Late Night with Seth Meyers”. Together with Chip Duncan and Dr. Hernando Garzon, Ben is a member of “The Three Tenors of Climate Change”. The Tenors are devoted to the task of improving public understanding of the science and impacts of human-caused climate change. In his spare time, Ben is an avid rock-climber and mountaineer.

INTERNET LANGUAGE INTERPRETATION

Global Women are Leading for Water Protection! During this event "Women for Climate Justice Leading Protection of Water," we heard from grassroots women leaders, water protectors, and international policy experts, who addressed the impacts of climate change and destructive projects on global water, and shared ongoing solutions and strategies for the protection of oceans, freshwater, rivers, and aquatic ecosystems based in a climate justice framework.

This is a formal side event of the UN Water Conference happening right now in New York City. In addition to the event, WECAN is submitting a commitment and releasing a Call to Action urging governments to increase and improve their ambition to protect global water sources by enacting a rights-based approach and ensuring women’s leadership in decision- making spaces.

Garry is a long term volunteer and activist with Greenpeace but under new laws, some activities he has been involved in could be deemed as 'sabotage'. The Espionage and Foreign Interference bill passed two weeks ago in parliament. It created new criminal offences for 'sabotage' and 'espionage'. The sabotage element threatens people's rights to protest against the Government if they break the law. The espionage element criminalises whistle-blowing with heavy penalties of up to life in prison. Holding Governments to account when they break the law is a cornerstone of good democracies. We will not be silenced. Chip in to help us fight back against these anti democratic laws: act.gp/2LOcTJT
