<div> </div>
<div>Do the panelists you list have any specialized expertise in climate science, i. e., have any of the panelists published in a <strong>peer reviewed credible science journal</strong> on a climate science subject in recent years? If so, can you provide a reference(s) to their published work in this field? If I can study their published work, I might have relevant questions regarding their specific focus of research.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If they do not have any recent peer reviewed published work in this discipline, I would look elsewhere for expert discussion of questions regarding climate science, as I have already done repeatedly on Realclimate.org, which offers far more scientific information regarding climate science questions and issues than I could ever hope to comprehend in my lifetime, moderated by a panel of some of the best climate scientists publishing in this field. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you need a list of pertinent questions and issues to discuss regarding climate science, you'll find more than enough at this blog:</div>

<div>---------------</div>
<div>In fact, regarding questions already posed in this thread, I suggested on Vision2020 to Paul Rumelhart that he contribute his doubts about the computer modeling of climate change to Realclimate.org, to scientists with extensive expertise in mathematics and computer modeling of climate change. Paul never indicated, that I read on Vision2020, whether he posed his questions or doubts on these issues to Realclimate.org.</div>

<br>My main goal, in organizing this forum, was to provide information and<br>dispel myths surrounding two scientific, yet culturally significant,<br>issues: climate control and evolution.<br><br>I am the moderator for the event and the panelists are:<br>
Carol M. Anelli, Entomology (WSU)<br>Tim A. Kohler, Anthropology (WSU)<br>Elisabeth Lloyd, Philosophy (Indiana)<br>Von P. Walden, Geography (UI)<br>Michael S. Webster, Biology (WSU)<br><br>But I'm not just trying to publicize this event. This is also a call<br>
for help! I need to send the panelists some questions that might be<br>asked at the forum. So, what questions would you ask, when thinking<br>about the problems of climate control and evolution from a scientific<br>perspective? If these folks (and myself) were before you, and these<br>
issues came up, what questions would you ask us?<br><br>These are important topics so if folks wish to step into the thread<br>with some answers or other comments, that is fine by me! I'll sift out<br>the information I need and enjoy the rest -- or more likely throw in a<br>
comment or two!<br><br>Best, Joe<br><br></blockquote></div>
