ALT 105th Annual Meeting 12-16 January New Orleans and Online AMS2025 The Climate Consensus Empowering Climate Communicators: The Climate Consensus's Role in Supporting Climate Engagement and Outreach Tuesday, January 14, 2025 from 2:00 PM - 2:15 PM CST 350 (New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center) Come to my presentation! I’m presenting at #AMS2025

ALT The Climate Consensus Speaker: Dr. Andrew Westgate Assistant Professor of Atmospheric Sciences Climate models: they’re not accurate, but they’re useful! Climate models are our main way of predicting future climates. They provide great insight into how the Earth’s temperature and precipitation, among other things, will change not only within our lifetime but beyond. However, with these predictions come a great deal of uncertainty and error. So, are climate models useless? No! We will dive into how models work, what they tend to get right, and what they struggle to forecast. Thursday, January 9th 2:00 PM ET / 1:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM MT on ZOOM Register here: https://osu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUlfuuvpjssGNCBxKZJDwoNRyF9gtpjEr77

ALT The Climate Consensus Speaker: Dr. Andrew Westgate Assistant Professor of Atmospheric Sciences Andrew earned his B.S. degree in Atmospheric Sciences from Lyndon State College (now Vermont State University - Lyndon), where he first encountered The Climate Consensus. There, he became heavily active in the organization, attending many events and giving presentations about The Climate Consensus at several conferences and functions. Since then, he went to the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee (UWM) to earn his M.S. and PhD in the same field, with a research focus in climate dynamics. At UWM, he formed a chapter of The Climate Consensus and served as the graduate student representative to the organization. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor at Vermont State University - Lyndon and serves as their faculty representative.

ALT The Climate Consensus Speaker: Dr. Denise Baden Professor of Sustainable Practice Creative Climate Communication Many climate communications preach to the converted or try to scare people green with dystopian visions of what will happen if we fail to act. Denise shares her research on how audiences respond to variously framed climate messages and highlights some common misconceptions and possible unintended consequences. Denise gives examples of the many ways in which she has found new audiences, ranging from hairdressers, constructive journalism, social media, theatre and romcoms.
