I find this latest report from the Center for Disease Control rather interesting. In many of the human health models related to climate change, it was long projected that the spread of new infectious diseases liikeDengue Virus would occur. Don’t know if this will spread will occur, but it does appearthis disease has made its foothold in Florida.. It certainly has the attention of some of our folks in Miami.

In addition to NSGO, I see…"
Mike Spranger commented on Christopher L Conger's group Steering Committee"I plan to be on call. Not too much to report on climate, but certainly could report much on oil blowouts and SG response on local, state and regional levels."

Mike Spranger replied to Mike Spranger's discussion Climate Change Falsification of Data - In the News"I agree. We may need to put a common response together that emails this is nature of science, as well as response to many attacks by those in disagreements. It is unfortunate that this has been major story, but that is what journalism is all about.…"

The Union of Concerned Scientists have information and are providing a "balanced response" to what they see as being misrepresented in the press. You may be interested in the information the UCS presents, or participate in the webinar that will be held tomorrow. I have not fully delved into this issue, but it is interesting to observe that this information has just come up…See More
