AGU Climate [Hoax] Q&A Service - Journalists

Based on the success of last year's pilot program, the AGU and its cadré of climate scientists have once again committed to answering your questions. The pilot program was designed to answer climate science questions for 10 days during the Copenhagen Climate Negotiations (7-18 December, 2009). This year’s Climate Q & A Service will run over a three month period centered around the climate negotiations in Cancun (29 Nov. – 10 Dec. 2010).
The scientists have signed up for shifts, with 3-5 scientists in each time slot representing different areas of climate science expertise. During their designated shift, these scientists will staff a shared climate science email in-box and collaborate with each other using Email Center Pro Software to answer questions in a timely manner. Questions and answers will be archived by the AGU for post-project analysis and may be made available to the public at a future date.
