3C: Enhancing Trust in Science through Computable Publication
by James Hetherington
AMEE, the Avoiding Mass Extinctions Engine, provides a RESTful API comprising many mathematical models of the environmental impact of human activity, in particular, greenhouse gas emissions. This API is consumed by many environmental-impact-tracking websites. The models and data used by AMEE in building the API are published in many forms, but most of these are designed to be read by humans only, and are not arranged in a manner suitable for computational use. We advocate and enable Computable Publication of scientific research, where the results, dependencies, and methodologies are published in a machine readable fashion. This promotes One-Click Reproducibility. Greenhouse gas management is a world of conflicting governmental and international standards, none of which is initally published in a computable form. By making these available as Computable Standards, AMEE can enhance the capability of the world to make wise long-term decisions based on trustworthy open science.

3A: Climate Change Update
by Gavin Starks
What's actually been changing in science, business and politics to create change? What's the signal in amongst the noise? What do we need to do next? Did you know 3-4,000 companies in the UK are now legally required to calculate their carbon footprint? Information, some answers, more questions and anecdotal stories from the collision between us, the planet and the internet of things...

6A: the 10:10 campaign
Why don't we just get everyone to reduce their carbon emissions, by 10% in a year. That's what the 10:10 campaign is trying to do. It's been going for a year now: while we haven't got everyone to do it yet, we've made a decent start. The web is key to almost everything we've done. I'll talk about some of what we've done in the past year "with a mildly techie slant, of course" and give a preview of a fun new online project that we're working on at the moment.
