Pricing Arctic change, for boardrooms and soccer moms

Daily Climate's #ClimateDoorstep project continues on social media and on Kickstarter.

Gail Whiteman is part of coterie of leading scientists who will be working with The Daily Climate over the next year to develop our "Climate at Your Doorstep" platform.

Notice a change in your world and wonder if it's climate change or just weather? Snap a picture, ask a question, and post it on Facebook or Twitter with a #climatedoorstep hashtag. Daily Climate staff, as well as Whiteman and other scientists, will be watching that hashtag. We're hoping to provide the best science and journalism in a place where readers can shape and interact with it, based on events happening now.
