This is an amateur video, made by my friend Aaron Wissner, sitting with a tiny camera in the Garden Theater, in Frankfort Michigan, in mid-July of last year.
I had just gotten back from Greenland, and was giving my first public talk with new footage and my reactions to the experience.
Interesting thing is, despite the obviously-not-a-TEDTalk production values, and with no massive promotion, the piece has gone viral to the tune of 30,000+ views and 900 comments. Some commenters note that my discussion of Jet-stream weirdness was pretty much a primer for the polar vortex- ridiculously resilient ridge of the past winter.
Not much new for regular readers of the blog, unless you’re curious about the other aspect of my work, public outreach. I do this a lot.
A lot.
Look for a possible very promising development for DarkSnow 2014, soon.
Peter, It is not clear to me that you are the speaker.
Peter, this is still a really great talk that deserves millions of views.
Ditto!
