Climate Change

Recent • Notable

I'm presently rearranging this set of pages to have a better organization. I recommend only bookmarking this main page for now, since things might change yet again.

Recent

I'm constantly adding pointers to new stories on the other pages of this climate change collection, but here are a few recent stories that seemed especially notable to me for one reason or another:

• Scientists solve riddle of toxic algae blooms (Times Colonist, 22 Jul 2008)
• Feds: Climate change to cause ‘irreversible’ health risks (USA Today, 17 Jul 2008)
• EPA experts list warming's health risks (MSNBC, 14 Jul 2008)
• Cheney's Office Sought to Change Climate Testimony (New York Times, 8 Jul 2008)
• Only seven years left for global warming target: UN panel chief (PhysOrg, 4 Jul 2008)
• No Ice at the North Pole (The Independent, 27 Jun 2008)

Other Notable Selections

• McCain says wants 45 new nuclear reactors by 2030 (Reuters, 18 Jun 2008)

  Except that the date should be much sooner, this seems like a good idea. Nuclear power, in spite of its risks, is capable of being properly managed to safely supply a very large amount of energy in a practical and well-understood way. It is not research about some new idea that only might work, it is immediately deployable technology. We should be using it.
