To Whom it may concern at The Climate Message:

I have just uploaded my YouTube video contribution for your web sit, link here [1]:  ‘Abrupt Climate Change Rant‘–(+playlist) #climate #climatechange #US #Canada #weather #Ontario #weather #storms // Mar 24, 2014

‘Extreme weather is taking out cities (Calgary + Toronto floods), states like Colorado and countries like the UK. Cause is wavier jet streams from huge Arctic warming die to collapsing sea ice and snow cover. This video is for Earth Day 2014. Do your own 2 minute or so clip and post to theclimatemessage.com‘

Who I am: ‘Paul Beckwith is a full-time PhD student researching abrupt climate change in the Geography Department at the University of Ottawa in Canada.  He is also a part-time professor teaching climatology/meteorology. He is an engineer (B.Eng. Engineering Physics) and a physicist (M.Sc. Laser Physics)’.

Regards,  Paul

‘Hi Paul – this is a dynamite piece of explanation, both scientifically and as a compelling piece of videography.

‘I’m going to link to it on the website — but with the caveat that it’s not a “Climate Message” in the same sense as all the other videos.  If you watch the other vids you’ll note that they’re all built around some form of performance activity — music, poetry, etc.

‘This project was designed around the need for performers to contribute to changing the public discussion of climate, and my intuition that while the general public desperately needs the kind of scientific explanation you provide, they won’t do it unless we draw them in first. Hence the music, and the multi-cultural orientation (thereby emphasizing that it’s a global problem).

Have you considered collaborating with a drummer or percussionist for one of these pieces? Your delivery is full of rhythmic verve.

Thanks so much, Warren Senders

Hello Warren,

Thank you for your feedback and link to my video from your website. If I can find a drummer or percussionist in Ottawa I will investigate doing some collaborative videos.

Regards, Paul

‘Hi Paul,

I really like your video on the ski lift.If you are having issues putting it on Youtube then let me know. I’d happily upload it to my channel if needs be. I’d like to share it with some people. It touches on a couple areas I am involved with in geoengineering and also religious influence. I interviewed former Archbishop Dr Rowan Williams on geoengineering and he is pro research. Next up, Tutu and the Patriarch in Istanbul. They are all coming out strong warning on climate.

Take care, Nick’
