Katharine Hayhoe was awarded the 2014 Climate Communication Prize at the AGU Fall Meeting Honors Ceremony. The prize honors an AGU member-scientist for highlighting the importance of promoting science literacy, clarity of message, and efforts to foster respect and understanding of science-based values as they relate to the implications of climate change.
“No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change,” the president said.
Models and observations indicate that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation exhibits surprising short-term variability, driven largely by wind.
Anthropogenic climate change is reducing the likelihood of the Earth seeing another slowdown in the rate of surface warming.
