PCC Interim Director, Kyle Armour  (UW OCEAN & ATMOS), sat down with Ari Weitzman of Tangle (an independent, non-partisan media outlet) on climate predictions, the future of climate, and what scientists know and how. Grab a coffee and check out the article that brings together research, plain language, and context to address climate skepticism and the evolution of the understanding of climate change.

As Spring Quarter comes to an end, the Program on Climate Change (PCC) Undergraduate Cohort (UCo)  reflects on its year and looks forward to the next. Each year, UCo is guided by a different set of students and their unique interests in supporting the undergraduate climate science community.

How do scientists develop confidence and experience having conversations with the general public around climate science, global and local impact, and solutions when their areas of expertise are in a disciplinary science such as oceanography or urban planning? In Fall 2024, the Program on Climate Change (PCC),  and the Washington State Climate Office  (WASCO), set out to create a training program that would help develop the capacity for graduate students to do just that, and to serve as a community resource on climate science and solutions.
