Warming Science 101

Here's a great summary by the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Instrumental Temperature - Vidipedia

If you haven't visited Vidipedia, it'll be a great experience. There's a special magic when a site begins to organize itself. Of course since we're interested in global warming, we honed right in on the Instrumental Temp PNG. We'll post the image in the next round of image uploads.

CU - Earth Institute

If you're new to this site, you'll see much ado about links, links, and more links. Imagine we're trying to simplify the morass of information regarding warming and our influence as a species. The Earth Institute of Columbia University (also see http://www.earthinstitute.columbia.edu) has some clear, direct references to the science and they offer an intriguing little quiz. Well worth a visit.

Warming Basics

Here is one of the clearest basics sites about warming. Go to http://www.climatecrisis.net/thescience/

Nice Multimedia Introduction

We tend to worry about certain messianic messages, you know the ones, those as interested in the style as the substance of the message. That said, this is a great multimedia introduction from GreenPeace International. It's worth checking out.

ERBE - NASA

Earth Radiation Budget Experiment

As early as the 70's we've been looking at, wondering about CO2 gasses. Have a look at this report and what NASA was up to.

Union of Concerned Scientists

Here's a rich source of detailed Midwest climate change information. See http://www.ucsusa.org/greatlakes/

NASA Unearths Antarctica Plumbing System

Here's a new (2.15.07) post from NASA on the recent discovery of the underground lake system in Antarctica. We also posted yesterday on the same phenomenon. This is definitely something to watch.

NASA on Warming As It Relates to Droughts

Here's a direct quote from the study released February 12:

NASA scientists may have discovered how a warmer climate in the future could increase droughts in certain parts of the world, including the southwest United States.

This is well worth a glance or two.

Global Warming - new NASA explanation.

AOL News: Antarctic Ice 'Really Ripping Along'

It seems that using space lasers, scientists have discoverd more than 100 rapidly moving lakes under the ice. According to the article, this could be could be fairly significant in understanding global warming.

Climate Ark

Here's an interesting site with loads of detailed information about climate change. See http://www.climateark.org. It's especially specific.

Adversarial Views

Not that we believe them, but this Heartland.org site is well worth a visit.

Energy Secretary Briefs

In the midst of an upbeat ABC News article (see web page 2) Energy Secretary, Sam Bodman makes an astonishing contradiction...

"We're embracing it. We agree with it," he said at news conference in Washington. "Human activity is contributing to changes in Earth's climate, and that issue is no longer up for debate."

Then after musing about how jobs are going to go overseas, he says "We are a small contributor to the overall" and "It's got to be a global solution."

For another excellent summary, visit the CNN's Science & Space.

Here's an interesting Google Video about The Climate Crisis from across the pond. When the UK delivers and makes a newsreel - it's a very different experience.

Documenting Exon's Tobacco Like Campaign

The campaign to create confusion about Global Warming is just now coming to light. This article from the Union of Concerned Scientists is a fascinating read.

'A modest but effective investment has allowed the oil giant to fuel doubt about global warming to delay government action just as Big Tobacco did for over 40 years."

We've posted their report in our Downloads section. You may want to browse through their Appendices as well. This is serious business, just now coming to light.

BBC Weighs In

Another great summary, this time from BBC.

New Scientist Weighs In

If you haven't gotten a good look at the Paris report, here's an excellent summary in New Scientist Environment.

Breathing Earth Applet

Here's a wonderful applet that displays C02 emissions for every country. No guarantees on the accuracy, but it does make a statement 'relatively speaking'. See http://www.breathingearth.net/

Scientific American Weighs In

Interesting post from SA.

CNN Prologue to International Report: Too Rosy?

CNN & AP suggest the recent Paris report is 'sugarcoated'. Interesting.

American Solar Energy Society Report

The American Solar Energy Society released a significant report this week, “Tackling Climate Change in the U.S. – Potential Emissions Reductions from Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy by 2030,” that addresses human-caused climate change solutions through energy efficiency and renewable energy using current off-the-shelf technologies. This report brings a practical solution to an ‘inconvenient truth. There's a wealth of info at their site http://www.ases.org/. A free download of the report is available at http://www.ases.org/climatechange/climate_change.pdf.

FAQ: Guide to Alternative Fuels

Here's a nice piece in CNet about alternate fuels. Also, note the brilliant visual representation of the info in CNet. We believe visual thinking and visual demonstrations are essential to effective communication. We've blogged about this in the MindServe Clipper.
