A Wikizine for all those interested in being pro-active with regard to climate change and how we can best tackle it. Initiated with an article suggesting that the way forward is for us all to take individual responsibility and bring about change from the ground up.
For those readers that still doubt the reality of rising sea levels, etc, a visit to the site at http://www.starr.tv/ should be illuminating - the first islands where sea levels are forcing evacuation are the subject of a documentary.
Recent reports on biofuels vary somewhat. Switchgrass may have performed better than expected, but criticism of other crops being subsidised by governments arises from consideration of their downsides - a new link was added to lead to the details.
This summer the Camp for Climate Action will pitch its tents outside the Kingsnorth coal-fired power station in Kent for a week of education, sustainable living and direct action. There is an open invitation to all to the camp, which is now part of an international movement, with eight climate camps on four continents planned for this summer. The aim is to show that the blind pursuit of economic growth at any cost is unsustainable, and is contributing to the CO2 emissions and other ecosystem problems that are causing catastrophic climate change. The website is found at http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/ - also listed in the links section.
There are now well over 40 useful links here to sites with detailed resources, reports and explanations. Please read and take part - spread the word around the world to help engage everyone in the battle to preserve our environment for future generations, not forgetting the wildlife that will suffer if we fail.

Washington, December 21 (ANI): A new study led by Yale University geologists has suggested that the kinds of increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) taking place today could have a significantly larger effect on global temperatures than previously thought.
The team demonstrated that only a relatively small rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) was associated with [...]

- Greater Climate Sensitivity To CO2? (futurepundit.com)
Researchers studying climate change during the early Pliocene have concluded that slow changes such as melting ice sheets amplified the initial warming caused by greenhouse gases, and that a relatively small rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels wasassociated with substantial global warming about 4.5 million years ago. The findings are published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

In a move to burnish the record of President Obama before he goes to the Copenhagen Global Warming Conference, the EPA declared that CO2, as well as some other "greenhouse" gases, are "dangerous."
While the Competitive Enterprise Institute and others are suing to stop this, this finding may be instituted in the meantime.

Delegations from 192 countries will arrive in the city of Copenhagen on Monday for two weeks of talks aimed at establishing a new global treaty on climate change. The majority of governments now agree with the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that global warming is man-made and rising temperatures are a threat to mankind. There are, however, some sceptical voices, including that of the Czech president Václav Klaus. So...
