Climate Change Communication




Elephants and Diamonds



Design: Hugo Ahlenius


...in a tree and then some. Creativity is needed when you want to spread the word about your scientific work and results. Particularly challenging for both the sender and receiver when the topic is climate change and the political temperature is much higher than the global warming...:-)

To learn a trick or two on how to, just sign up for a workshop in Copenhagen (deadline for signing up is 20th November 2009), invite your loved ones and be inspired by both the Christmas decorations in Tivoli and the UN climate change meeting COP15. :-)

The workshops are organized by Nordpil and Envalue.

Deadly Women!

Those who are afraid of women have every reason to be. We are potential witches all of us - and will sneak up on you in the night....:-)

Cool unknown aviation history. Thanks ShirlT, for sending it to me.
