Here are two lectures given at the Univ. of Washington about the current state of the climate by two researchers who have been gathering data for decades. I highly recommend these to everyone. They were both aired on DishNetwork Channel 9404 in the past week. |
Cryospheric Response to Climate Change, March, 2008
Dr. Konrad Steffen, director of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), has lead field expeditions to Greenland and other Arctic regions for the past consecutive 33 years measuring the dynamic response of ice masses under a warming climate. He shares the first video from water channels inside the Greenland ice sheet.

Climate Change, Sea Level, and Western Drought: Dangerous Anthropogenic Interference, April, 2008
Learn why the American West could be in trouble with surface air temperatures rising faster than elsewhere in the coterminous United States. Dr. Jonathan Overpeck, director of the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth at the University of Arizona, and recipient of the shared 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his role as a Coordinating Lead Author for the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment, will address the trend of droughts in the west and the vulnerability of coastal communities as they face sea level rise coupled with increasing storm intensities.
