All the speakers were great. John O'connor from the Climate Institute, Bob Carr ex Premier of NSW, Haydn and I talked at the end. It was a really positive receptive audience, I actually gained energy and confidence from them and even threw in a few jokes. Something very cool happened during my talk - I was talking about the various ways SkS has tried to communicate climate science. I mentioned Nigel Leck's Twitterbot, explained how it automatically responded to denier tweets and the audience spontaneously broke into applause. I can't wait to tell Nigel.

Overall, fantastic event. These book launches can be pretty cool! Still looking forward to getting back to my blogging dungeon but if this is what happens when I'm forced to come out of my comfort zone, I can't complain :-)

Well I hope it all brings money into the project one way or another.
Maybe you should consider writing for newspapers and magazines as a money earner?

On Climate Science of course.

Fantastic news John :)  Yay!

Hire an agent to get you on an international speaking tour.  

Kudos for all that you do!

Very cool John, congrats!

On an aside, I'm coming out to San Francisco in December for AGU. So I'm hoping any SkSers within spitting distance will be able to come to an SkS get together during that week. There's also a possibility of a detour to British Columbia before AGU for a climate workshop but I'll post more as details get hammered out.

Glad to hear it was such a success!.
