Call for CCIC Volunteers
The AMS Commission on the Weather and Climate Enterprise (CWCE) and its Board on Enterprise
Communication (BEC) are seeking volunteers from all sectors of our community to serve on a new
committee it is establishing: the Committee on Climate Change-Improving Communication (CCIC).
The mission of the AMS/CWCE/BEC Committee on Climate Change--Improving Communication is
to foster greater understanding among members of the weather, water, and climate community about
strongly held but divergent views on anthropogenic global warming. To accomplish this mission the
CCIC committee will provide forums, which will include face-to-face meetings, for open and
respectful discussion of these diverging views.
