I must admit I hadn’t thought of this one -apparently the Zoological Society of London is proposing the world’s first ‘cryobank’ for corals (similar to the Millenium Seed Bank project). According to news reports, the proposal is to preserve samples of coral in liquid nitrogen, allowing them to be ‘reintroduced’ at some [...]
This video documents the very effective distortion (to put it mildly) of the words of Mojib Latif by the mainstream media in talk radio and cable news. This is part of the growing (false) media meme that the earth is cooling or that there is a “plateau” in global warming.
This is one of Peter Sinclair’s best videos. It does a fabulous job of explaining the science behind the issue and debunking the skeptic argument. He addresses what has for some time been a favorite page in the skeptic playbook: the bogus argument that AGW is refuted by the fact that at the termination of [...]
Even more evidence that we are loosing the war for the public mind over climate change. A new survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press indicates that the number of Americans that think the earth is warming is declining: by 14% in just 18 month! (Read the entire Pew report here)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Have you heard that the world is now cooling instead of warming? You may have seen some news reports on the Internet or heard about it from a provocative new book. Only one problem: It’s not true, according to an analysis of the [...]
These photographs, taken by photographer Chris Jordan are nothing short of astonishing… click here to see the full set.
These photographs of albatross chicks were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are [...]
Mangrove forests, salt marshes and seagrass beds are a different matter. Although together they cover less than 1 per cent of the world’s seabed, they lock away well over half of all carbon to be buried in the ocean floor. They are estimated to store 1,650 million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year — nearly half of global transport emissions — making them one of the most intense carbon sinks on Earth.
Boingboing asks: “Quick, what’s pink and thrives on hydrocarbons?” The answer? Ice worms. There’s a bunch of them (8 to be exact) in the photograph above, thriving at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico in solid, ice-like lumps of methane hydrate.
Green coal, new gen coal, the ‘Fossil Fuel Formally Known as Coal’ and now, the latest, iCoal 2.0. Confused? Check out the video above – great stuff. More on the iCoal 2.0 campaign here and here.
An op-ed about (and hopefully debunking) the myth that global warming has plateaued. From the Raleigh NC based News & Observer. Thanks to KRT from the N&O for the great image above and to N&O op-ed editor Allen Torrey.
Warming is fact; denial is harmful
“The earth is cooling!”
Actually it isn’t, but we [...]
