Climate Change Emergency Links"Global warming is mainly the result of CO2 levels rising in the Earth’s atmosphere. Both atmospheric CO2 and climate change are accelerating. Climate scientists say we have years, not decades, to stabilize CO2 and other greenhouse gases. To help the world succeed, CO2Now.org makes it easy to see the most current CO2 level and what it means. So, use this site and keep an eye on CO2. Invite others to do the same. Then we can do more to send CO2 in the right direction." Changing the Chemistry of the Atmosphere An accurate, complete and easy to follow explanation of greenhouse gases — and our impacts on them. Section 1 of the Climate Policy Design Pro-Series by Holmes Hummel, PhD. Climate and Energy: Uncertainties in Forecasts and the Problems of Scale A lecture and slide show at MIT by Ronald G. Prinn, SCD. From the website: "When Ron Prinn spins one 'Wheel of Fortune,' he arrives at a one in four chance of the Earth warming up at least 3 degrees centigrade, and the beginning of an irreversible melting of polar ice sheets. When he spins the other wheel, the odds of this level of dangerous warming fall to one in 40. The first wheel, Prinn suggests, represents the risks involved in doing nothing about climate change. The second wheel is attainable only by enacting a climate policy that stabilizes carbon dioxide levels in the near future." An excellent, regularly updated blog on what we are doing to the world's climate and what we need to be doing to restore planetary health. Focuses on global and Australian climate news.
