Hello Joel: I read your message on the upcoming talk by Dr. Karl and would
very much like to listen in on it. However, I wonder if the talk will be
open to me. I am a recent graduate from the John F. Kennedy University
Museum Studies program, and completed my thesis on exhibiting climate change
issues in science museums. But, as yet, I am not employed in a museum so
don't know if I will be allowed to listen in on Dr. Karl's lecture.
If I will be able to hear it, am I supposed to register beforehand, or just
dial in? Also, I'm assuming the lecturewill be 6:00 p.m. my time. Thanks
for your help.

>Asheville, NC. Dr. Karl serves as Report Chief Editor for the Climate
>Change Science Panel's (CCSP) Synthesis and Assessment reports on the state
>of the climate. Specifically, his new report is titled "Temperature Trends
>in the Lower Atmosphere: Steps for Understanding and Reconciling
>Differences." On Wednesday, May 17, Dr. Karl gave a public briefing in
>Washington, D.C., on the newly released CCSP report in which he addressed
>key points in the debate surrounding the research about global temperature
>trends. In short, the debate has been resolved and, as stated in the
>report, anthropogenic forcings are the cause of Earth's modern warming
>trend. In his presentation, Dr. Karl will discuss the major points
>presented in his report as well as touch upon some remaining outstanding
>questions facing climate scientists today.
>
>A more detailed abstract will follow soon, as well as instructions on where
>to obtain a copy of Dr. Karl's presentation as soon as it is available.
>Until then, please mark your calendars and plan on attending this timely
>and topical session.
