"Climate Dialogue, the site where both sides of the climate debate meet to discuss has formally come to an end as of January 2015. It was a cooperation between KNMI (Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute) and PBL (Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency) and science journalist Marcel Crok (http://klimazwiebel.blogspot.nl/2014/05/another-effort-for-bridging-between.html).
The setup to offer room for constructive discussions on such items as melting of the Arctic sea ice, long-term persistence, trend significance, regional modelling, tropical hot spots en climate
sensitivity, was successful and attractive enough, but drew lesser visitors than expected. There are plans for some trade-offs like scientific publications, a presentation at EGU2015 in Vienna, and a soon to be published evaluation report to the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment. Crok considers a possible restart, with partners from his network. See paragraph on Climate Dialogue at Crok's site.
