Abstract

The year 2009 brought with it major changes in the economic, political, as well as media landscape.  This talk will explore how these recent changes may have impacted the public’s perception of climate change as well as discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the United States as COP-15 plays out.  One of those challenges will require inventing new models for science journalism and one of those opportunities may require a redefinition of what it means to be a scientist.
