Would you like to help create a buzz about climate change across Oxfordshire?

Come and join the Oxfordshire Climate-X-Change... a new project seeking to create a positive attitude towards climate change.

It needs an explosion of creativity across society to deal with these things. We're in a tight spot and we need imaginitive minds.

Climate-X-Change will run through 2007, the 1000^th Anniversary of the founding of Oxfordshire.

Oxfordshire has a fantastic array of talent in climate change, from activists and spokespeople like Radiohead's Thom Yorke, George Monbiot, Mark Lynas and the COIN organization; to the amazingly over-subscribed Westmill Cooperative wind farm; world-beating firms like Ecosecurities and Crystalox; to a 73-year old winner of the Observer Ethical Award. Oxford a Brookes Universities have over 150 scientists working at the frontier of climate science, impacts, and solutions.

Climate-X-Change will organise a host of events, activities, and 'any ideas'–

• a 'spills-and-thrills' toolbox
• climate quizzes
• art competitions
• 'Any Questions' panels
• climateprediction.net, the world's largest participatory climate computer model,
• Climate Challenge - a new Oxford-designed BBC onlone 'climate poker' game
• Northmoor Project Timescape with climate scenarios.
