3 Polar Vortexed Greetings from Western New York
4 Philip S. Sharp, President AAAS Plenary Speech, AAAS Annual Meeting If discovery is to come to the aid of our great global challenges of climate change, poverty and disease, we have no choice but to become much better at linking discovery, innovation and entrepreneurship. February
5 Dr. James Hansen Lecture Accepting 2010 Blue Planet Prize Human made climate change is a moral issue It pits the rich and powerful against the young and unborn, against the defenseless and against nature
6 Dr. James Hansen Lecture Accepting 2010 Blue Planet Prize Climate Change is a political issue But politics fails when there is a revolving door between government and the fossil fuel industrial complex
7 Dr. James Hansen Lecture Accepting 2010 Blue Planet Prize Climate Change is a legal issue The judiciary provides the possibility of holding our governments accountable for their duty to protect the public interest.
8 James Hansen Lecture Accepting 2010 Blue Planet Prize There is a huge gap between what is understood about global warming, by the relevant scientific community, and what is known about global warming by the people who need to know, the public.

14 The President s Climate Action Plan developing information and tools to better serve communities. By linking information (monitoring, forecasting, outlooks, and early warnings) with drought preparedness and longer-term resilience strategies in critical sectors Developing Actionable Climate Science Assessing Climate-Change Impacts in the United States this National Climate Assessment will focus not only on dissemination of scientific information, but also on translating scientific insights into practical, usable knowledge that can help decision-makers anticipate and prepare for climate-change impacts. Launching a Climate Data Initiative consistent with President Obama s May 2013 Executive Order on Open Data, which recognizes that freely available government data stimulated entrepreneurship, innovation, discovery and public benefit. Providing a Toolkit for Climate Resilience Establishing State, Local, and Tribal Leaders Task Force on Climate Preparedness
