In honor of "Climate Babe" Katharine Hayhoe, we are initiating the "Climate Babe of the Month" with Dr Cara Augustenborg!

Since Climate Hunk of the Month laureate, Jason Box, has suggested that I recommence the Climate Hunk of the Month, and offered some nominees, it seemed to me long past time to include female scientists; thus, since Jason very kindly offered a selection, I am more than happy to begin with Cara Augustenborg!  Wow!  Check her out on YouTube!

And who better to name this award after than famous Climate Babe Katharine Hayhoe! [So named by the dastardly Rush Limbaugh, but we are going to own it and take back the narrative!]

When it comes to climate change communication who kicks denier behinds better than she does!

Here is more on April 2016's Climate Babe of the Month:

And, I must admit, I picked her name at random from the "seleção" (for non-Brazilians, non-Portuguese, and non-Italians, this word represents the national football -- oops! "soccer" for Yanks -- team members selected to play in the World Cup games), but she is perfect!

Check out her TEDx Talk!

Katharine, I'm seein' a soul sistah here for you!
