The College of DuPage has released the power points that many of the speakers at the conference used. I highly recommend reading them, they are full of interesting information. You can see them all here, listed by speaker.

Experts: ‘Big Freeze’ about 12,800 years ago happened within months

 

In the film, "The Day After Tomorrow," the world gets gripped in ice within the span of just a few weeks. Now research now suggests an eerily similar event might indeed have occurred in the past.

Looking ahead to the future, there is no reason why such a freeze shouldn't happen again — and in ironic fashion it could be precipitated if ongoing changes in climate force the Greenland ice sheet to suddenly melt, scientists say.

Starting roughly 12,800 years ago, the Northern Hemisphere was gripped by a chill that lasted some 1,300 years. Known by scientists as the Younger Dryas and nicknamed the"Big Freeze," geological evidence suggests it was brought on when a vast pulse of fresh water — a greater volume than all of North America's Great Lakes combined — poured into the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.

U.S. sets climate target ahead of summit

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama will attend the U.N. climate summit next month in Denmark, taking with him a target to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent by 2020, the White House said Wednesday.

The pledge will not be part of a binding international treaty — the hopes for which have been dashed by the lack of a climate law coming out of Congress — but it will mimic the cuts passed by the House earlier this year. The Senate is still debating climate legislation.

DuPage Severe Weather Symposium

From our very own Cort Scholten:

 

2009 College of Dupage Severe Weather Symposium

Recently a group of CMU meteorology students attended the CoD
Severe Weather Symposium. A number of experts from the United
States and Canada presented the latest research in topics such
as convective initiation, tornadogenesis, and severe weather
forecasting. Panel discussions about issues in severe weather
initiation, forecasting, and warning created healthy dialogue
with insights into issues concerning operational severe
weather meteorology, and motivation for students to work hard
at becoming the best atmospheric scientists they can be.

 

Bob Hartig, a storm chaser from Grand Rapids, has blogged about in greater detail about what was discussed at the conference. Students are especially encouraged to read the final 5 paragraphs.
