Has anyone been as badly maligned as Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)?
In December, the Sunday Telegraph carried a long and prominent feature written by Christopher Booker and Richard North, titled: Questions over business deals of UN climate change guru Dr Rajendra Pachauri.
The subtitle alleged that Pachauri has been "making a fortune... See entire blog item |

Global warming is turning 35! Not only has the current spate of global warming been going on for about 35 years now, but also the term "global warming" will have its 35th anniversary next week. On 8 August 1975, Wally Broecker published his paper "Are we on the brink of a pronounced global warming?" in the journal Science. That appears... See entire blog item |

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(508) 289-3340 / media@whoi.edu
Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have detected a plume of hydrocarbons that is at least 22 miles long and more than 3,000 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, a residue of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
The 1.2-mile-wide, 650-foot-high plume of trapped hydrocarbons provides at least a partial answer to recent questions asking where all the oil has gone as surface slicks shrink and disappear. "These results indicate that efforts to book keep where the oil went must now include this plume" in the Gulf, said Christopher... See entire news item |

| Up To 80% Of BP Oil Still In The Gulf, Say Scientists |

 By Andy Rowell
When the US government announced three-quarters of the oil from BP's leak "has already evaporated, dispersed, been captured or otherwise eliminated" and what was left posed no risk, I said that the findings would be controversial.
What I didn't say is that they would be blatantly challenged by scientists as wildly wrong.
Scientists from the University of Georgia have been at the forefront of monitoring the spills impact, especially the deep underwater plumes.
In a study released yesterday they... See entire news item |

The NOAA State of the Climate 2009 report is an excellent summary of the many lines of evidence that global warming is happening. Acknowledging the fact that the planet is warming leads to the all important question - what's causing global warming? Here is a summary of the empirical evidence that answers this question. Many different observations find a distinct human fingerprint on climate change:

| Portugal Now Gets 45% Of Its Electricity From Renewable Energy |

|
|
|
 By Susan Kraemer
Five years ago, when 17% of Portugal's energy came from renewable energy – about like California now – the government made a bold decision to aim for 45% during the next five years – by 2010.
Sounds impossible, right? Yet, according to Elizabeth Rosenthal at the NYT, they will have achieved their goal by the end of this year.
"You cannot imagine the pressure we suffered that first year," said Manuel Pinho, Portugal's... See entire news item |

July 2010 — What Global Warming Looks Like
The July 2010 global map of surface temperature anomalies (Figure 1), relative to the average July in the 1951-1980 period of climatology, provides a useful picture of current climate [Note: really it shows temperature, not climate, but with other information, such as below and in other articles, is part of multiple longer-term trends - editor]. It was more than 5°C (about 10°F) warmer than climatology in the eastern European region including Moscow. There was an area in eastern Asia that was similarly unusually hot. The eastern part of the United States was unusually warm, although not to the degree of the hot spots in Eurasia.

Made from agar agar and cast in different colors as well as flavors, Jelloware demonstrates that disposable doesn't have to be bad for the planet.
Determined to prove that the convenience of disposable dishware doesn't have to come at the expense of the environment, the ladies of THE WAY WE SEE THE WORLD design consultancy in NYC are using jello in ways that Bill Cosby never could have imagined.
