Fellow SLASers, I would argue that aspects pf climate change are relevant to astronomers. To wit, satellite measurements of earth from space can cast light on the controversy embracing climate change. I attended a lecture about the thickness of the Greenland ice sheet in which satellite measurements of the gravity of the Greenland ice sheet showed that it was losing mass at the edges and gaining mass on top. It lost mass at the edges due to warming and gained mass on top due to more snow fall due warming leading to more precipitation.
