Mexico, host to the UN global climate change conference later this year, has made great strides in its efforts to cut GHG emissions.  The ways in which they have done so serve as a lesson to other developing nations around the world.
For example, Indian and Chinese emissions have only increased.   According to UN official Miguel [...]

Climatologists involved have been cleared of most accusations according to the results of an investigation into ‘Climategate.’  Though the findings of two other investigations are outstanding,  the UK’s House of Commons Science and Technology Committee found no indication of the scientists tampering with the evidence or the peer-review process, reports the Associated Press.
Admittedly, Committee Chairman [...]

Results from a recent George Mason University poll show that over 60 percent of weathercasters on television are interested in taking on the role of climate change educator, reports Science Daily.  And already, a large number are doing just this.  Using a variety of forums – blogs, presentations, and newspaper columns to name a few [...]

There are some who insist that only a few publicity-seeking generals and admirals believe climate change is a national security threat.  Tell that to the Russians.

The results of a recent Gallup Poll confirm recent reports that the American public’s skepticism about the threat posed by global warming continues to increase.  This has been particularly true in the wake of the mistakes discovered within the IPCC’s 2007 report and “climategate.” Only 32 percent of Americans polled in March of this year [...]

Recent studies led by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists show that the East Siberian Arctic Shelf is not as impermeable as once believed.  It is instead leaking the large amounts of methane gas (30 times more potent than carbon dioxide) it stores.
This is particularly concerning because, unlike many other deposits, it exists in shallow waters.  [...]

Recent global warming studies published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and NASA reach similar conclusions.  The last 10 years are the warmest on record, and 2010 temperatures are positioned to surpass even these numbers.  Reports the NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies:
Although 2008 was the coolest year of the decade, due to [...]
