A handy pic is the second to last figure here: http://lablemminglounge.blogspot.com/2011/05/geochemical-googling.html Or you can play with the correlate tool (see Razib's post) to generate your own figure. hi Chris,

This does not replace the need for coordination and clear communications strategy. Actually, there are many groups/people voluntarily helping the IPCC with communications.

The IPCC is a volunteer organization. Its about time all those pundits who do communication for a living stepped up to the plate. It's not the IPCC that's broken - it does it's job (assess the science) brilliantly. Its everything after that that is broken. Is Revkin planning to get together an equivalent group of journalists and commentators to step into this role?? No, thought not. What TransientEddy said.

It is a service activity that often takes away from basic research, teaching, writing grants, advising students, and the myriad of other activities required of scientists to keep their jobs. How many journalists and communicators, like you and Revkin, are stepping up to volunteer their services to the IPCC? Anyone?
