When is CAMEL going to be online and available?

Rolph, great question. CAMEL is coming on-line in phases. In terms of climate education content, there is already a fair amount, and we have been adding content (there are now about 1600 articles with some climate content). A number of people are teaching climate change courses that rely heavily on these materials. We are slower in getting the on-line networking and faculty development functions working, but we are working on that, and hope to have something to share in the next few months. Anyone interested in helping, please send me a message.
