Society Founder Gavin Pretor-Pinney recently gave a 10-minute talk about cloudspotting at the TED Global conference in Edinburgh, Scotland. I has now been put up on the TED website, and you can see it here:

Cloudy with a Chance of Joy
July 17, 2013
Loved that Gavin. What an entertaining, gentle reminder to appreciate the great and humbling beauty of nature.
So glad Gavin went on TED. I’ve been watching TED for years and also been a fan of Gavin and his appreciation of clouds for a few years. Great to see both come together. What a great topic for a TED talk!
Giles,
Listened to your item on Saturday Live.
Please say hello to Giles (we were at university in Cardiff together)
Thank you Gavin, I agree on every word!
..but
most people have to learn to look up on the clouds – again- because all of us have seen them as a child, lying on the grass a summerday…!
and then?? – what happened then?
After my PHOTO exhibition on clouds in Stockholm ,Sweden,
2002, people still come greatful to me and say: “now I have learnt to look up in the sky!! So some years ago I decided to publish my cloud pictures as a book called
“PIECES OF HEAVEN”.
You can call it a POETIC GUIDE to CLOUD spotting!

Gavin, you have it already..;-)
