climate change

This whole green stuff is starting to catch on. Over the past year we have seen a dramatic increase in green awareness and support, especially in a media sense. One great example and one of the most notable mentions to this would have to be the introduction of “Planet Green” by Discovery channel.

How to Boil a Frog's FrogBlog points out how Society somehow seems to suffer from all the same character flaws that we do, leaving us speeding towards the twin cliffs of peak oil & climate change.

Jose Maria Figueres Olsen speaks knowledgeably about how changes in the world’s climate are starting to influence the global economy and advises organisations on the steps necessary to combat global warming.

As the public debate continues on whether greenhouse gases contribute to global warming or whether we are going through a natural cycle, enormous political pressure and investment dollars are streaming into the solutions aspect of the debate. Discussions in North America on environmental policy and economic benefits are steaming ahead at all levels of government and in the corporate board room.Putting the debate aside, creating a carbon market that stimulates activity to address climate change provides everyone an opportunity to participate.

If we're to control the global climate crisis, we'd best figure out where we can help, and filter out where we cannot. Good luck to us!

This is a brief entry that allows people to register a pledge of support for tap water and against bottled water.  The idea is to get as many pledges as possible to send a message to companies that bottled water is not a good investment in our health or the environment.

Last Friday the Medcalf Gallery in London debuted “Flooded London”, a photographic depiction of the future of London as it is overtaken by the rising sea. On Monday, exactly 20 years after warning us about global warming, NASA scientist James Hansen told congress that time’s up and he warned of such apocalyptic consequences...

Theres a common cliche line that goes “If you want big rewards, you gotta take big risks”. To some extent this is true, but if your big risk is setting a date to be completely fossil fuel free you better be ready to back that up. This is the case with Merecedes recent statement that they would like to make their production line a fossil fuel free line by 2015.

Earlier this month, Florida Governor Charlie Crist won a lot of friends in the oil industry by suggesting that he could live with oil-wells off the coast of Florida. In the same week he also gained support from environmentalists for brokering an agreement that will reclaim 300 square miles of the Everglades from sugar farming.

So why should we care? Well it just so happens that Crist is the Governor of a crucial swing-state in the upcoming presidential election, as well as being a contender for the Republican Vice-Presidential slot.

Washington, D.C. - Exactly 20 years have passed since Dr. James E. Hansen of NASA first testified to Congress on June 23, 1988 that global temperatures had risen beyond the range of natural variability. Waiting another 20 years before taking decisive action is not an option.

Senator John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, said that if elected he would introduce a $300 million prize for the automaker that develops a battery that ‘leapfrogs’ commercially available hybrid or plug-in cars. The new battery would be a big step in fighting global warming as it would help bring to market a technology that would allow drivers to drastically cut their carbon footprint.

In the run up to this summer’s Olympic Games, the city government of Beijing is appealing to its citizens to use green transport as part of their ‘civic’ duty.

Panelists discuss the challenges climate and anticipated climate change effects will have in the United States and internationally, including in vulnerable populations.

It would be great if everyone could go out and buy the most fuel efficient car they could find. Everyone would cut their carbon footprint and carbon emissions everywhere would drop. Unfortunately, most of us cannot afford to simply go and buy a new car, or even a used one for that matter. But you can still cut your carbon footprint by driving more efficiently, of Hypermiling – getting the best mileage out of your car.
