Future Not Bright for Arctic Ice
“When you look in detail at the science behind the recent Arctic changes it becomes painfully clear how our understanding of climate impacts lags behind the changes that we are already seeing in the Arctic,” warned Martin Sommerkorn, one of the authors of a new report from conservation group the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

An Inconvenient Truth Sequel
From the “now there’s a surprise” category, Al Gore has announced that he will be making a sequel to his Academy Award winning, Nobel prize winning, An Inconvenient Truth.
Speaking to The Sun last week, Al Gore surprise absolutely no one with his plans to follow up with a sequel. For the moment, I’m going […]
Jet Stream Changes due to Global Warming?
In an article that just screams northern-hemispheric superiority, MSNBC has touched only briefly upon new research from scientists at the Carnegie Institute.
According to Cristina Archer and Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology, Earth’s jet streams are shifting; possibly as a result of global warming. However they are upfront with the fact […]
Expert about Faces on Global Warming
Continued from the shortened article at PlanetSave.com
Kerry Emanuel is an American professor of meteorology currently working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, and in 2006 was named one of Time’s 100 Influential People of that year. Much of his fame has come from being among the first to link global warming to an […]
Top NASA Scientist: “We’ve reached a Crisis”
Yesterday we saw that past Nobel chemistry winner Mario J. Molina come out and publically warn against the dangers of climate change. Today, NASA’s top climate scientist has come out to warn the same thing.
You’d think there was something wrong.
“We’ve already reached the dangerous level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,” James Hansen, 67, director […]
A Warmer World Could Be A More Explosive One
Much of the focus on global warming is always directed towards the obvious; food, water levels, animals. What makes the whole subject even more interesting though is the unexpected consequences of a warming planet. And if new research is to be believed, global warming may have an impact on volcanic eruptions.
According to Carolina Pagli of […]
Could our Lunar Eclipse shed light on Climate Change?
Over our history eclipses have been the portent of the gods wrath, new things to come, or simply a pretty light show. But would you have expected our last lunar eclipse to have been of any help to researchers looking at climate change?
Researchers at the University of Colorado in Boulder, US, found that Earth’s atmosphere […]
Climate Tipping Events a Surprise for a Lulled Society
These days we are bombarded with countless reports of climate models predicting every side of the coin. Warmer waters will both increase and decrease the chance of hurricanes making landfall in the US, according to whatever model you want to base your opinion on. But these are all smooth projections, and do not allow for […]
Bush Continues Attack on the Environment
I think that Jeremy Elton Jacquot put it best, when he opened his article on TreeHugger the other day; “Any (admittedly dim) hopes that President Bush might choose to salvage his tattered - some might say non-existent - environmental credentials were dashed when his administration announced plans to open more than 3 million acres of […]
Continual Unfounded, Random and Childish Attacks Keep Coming
There is something within many environmentalists that gets irked off very easily. I know for a fact that I wouldn’t be able to get away with telling you that I’m not easily angered. Most of those who know me would be up in arms, consternation and hysterics. All of that being said, when we are […]
