Michael Mogil (CCM, and Camp Director), will be guiding the campers through a wide array of investigations, activities and technical presentations. They will also visit several National Weather Service facilities, carry out field study investigations at the National Mall and the Smithsonian Museum and participate in several videoconferences.

Michael Mogil has published an article at Associated Content that presents the "other side of climate change." Mogil, a pragmatist environmentalist, has used information from a wide array of sources, including scientific presentations from the Second International Conference on Climate Change and a newly published reference book, Climate Change Reconsidered.

Sun 3 May 2009 09:05:00 GMT http://www.weatherworks.com/ac/main.html It's National SKY AWARENESS WEEK, a perfect time to look up and appreciate the beauty and science of the sky above. I am keen on watching the clouds and their constant transformations. Al Riccio (Rockville, MD resident and cold-season Florida snowbird) shared his sky watching experiences with me the other day. He, too, was impressed with how changeable the Florida skies really are. If you aren't into the weather sky, the Lyrid meteor shower will be in the news. The bottom line is to take a few moments or more to enjoy, appreciate and learn. Tue 21 April 2009 10:28:00 GMT http://www.weatherworks.com/events/skyawareness/main.html According to Joseph Bast, President of The Heartland Institute, "a comprehensive report detailing compelling scientific evidence that recent climate change is NOT human-caused, will be published early this summer." H. Michael Mogil, CCM and CEO of How The Weatherworks, just reviewed Chapter 6 of the book (severe storms) and can attest to the powerful documentation this book offers. It will be a must read for anyone in the media, anyone involved in public policy, and anyone involved in the soon-to-be resurrected real climate change debate.
