Posted by Matt in April 16th, 2008

The Middle East’s famous Fertile Crescent was the birthplace of agriculture, the first settlements and civilization. But a new study shows that climate change will dry up the area’s rivers and destroy its agriculture — with devasting effects for the region. By Volker Mrasek more…

N Zealand combats climate change cows - 25 Nov 08
Factories and fossil fuel get most of the blame for global warming. But researchers have found a herd of cows belches more climate-changing gas than a family car. Al Jazeera's Tony Birtley travelled to New Zealand and sent this report.

The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See
Over 6,700,000 total views on various websites so far! But DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO! I'm serious. This message isn't a hack (I'm the guy in the video), and it's not a ploy to get you to actually watch it (reverse psychology). It's just that there's a hole in this argument big enough to drive a Hummer through because of an assumption I didn't realize I had (isn't that just the way with assumptions. . .), and the argument has been UPDATED to address that hole. So instead of watching this old, tired, hole-y video, go watch the NEW, IMPROVED version at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF_anaVcCXg It's called "How It All Ends," and is backed up by literally HOURS of "Expansion Pack" videos, answering every single criticism, objection, "What If," "How About," and "You Missed a Spot," that I...

Sir David Attenborough: The Truth About Climate Change
The legendary broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough was long unsure about the causes of the observed climate warming. In his documentary, The Truth About Climate Change, he sheds doubt and explains what convinced him. Climate models based on purely natural processes such as solar activity and volcanic eruptions fail to explain the observed change in Earth's climate in the latter part of the 20th century. Models factoring in the human impact, that is, the increase of carbon dioxide in the athmosphere, depict the transpired warming accurately, however.

You Control Climate Change
More information: http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/greencatalogue/swf/ The European Commission has launched a campaign to build public awareness of climate change. Using the slogan "You control climate change", the campaign encourages citizens to adopt certain everyday habits to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The campaign which kicked off on 29 May 2006 encourages the public to sort waste, leave the car in the garage, use public transport, not to leave electrical devices switched on, and so on. In short: "turn down, switch off, recycle, walk".

Google Tech Talks December, 11 2007 ABSTRACT As part of our SciFoo Campers @Google Tech Talk series, acclaimed author Kim Stanley Robinson will share his thoughts on climate change in what promises to be an insightful and provocative hour.
