More of him here:
http://fora.tv/2010/02/11/Jeremy…In the last 20 years we've had an information revolution that has allowed distributive networks to undermined the old style structure of knowledge delivery (having a big enough mouthpiece used to mean your idea would spread more successfully and win - not anymore). When we have a combined distributive information and energy revolution then we would be more sensitive and aware of how to use and extend our resources.. and the world will totally transform.
Climate change is the biggest design problem ever and when its solved its going to lead to something wonderful - this isnt a Utopian view at all, i actually think its something we can all peruse - Dan Lockton has an amazing a toolkit to help all designers think and engage with this problem - (eco design at its very best) :

(Reuters) - A yellow submarine has helped to solve a puzzle about one of Antarctica's fastest-melting glaciers, adding to concerns about how climate change may push up world sea levels, scientists said Sunday.

strange that there's tons of methane that is being currently released with the BP bs, but noone is saying how it will affect the atmosphere.
Global warming my freakin ass- methane clathrate
http://en.wikipedia.…georgesIII - It's not extremely visible like the oil is, therefore media can't show birds covered in methane.joeth

Study Affirms Consensus on Climate Change
http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2…"Of the top 50 climate researchers identified by the study (as ranked by the number of papers they had published), only 2 percent fell into the camp of climate dissenters. Of the top 200 researchers, only 2.5 percent fell into the dissenter camp."
There is no real debate amongst climate scientists.

Not sure if this helps you at all, but I put together this resource for a client: http://climatelitigation.com/
It's a compilation of CO2 Emissions data on both the largest countries and small pacific islands.

I just released a deadly amount of methane,
sorry earth :(

My friend made this doc about change:
Not just climate change, but a shift in culture. It contains footage of places that have never been filmed. They were taken to places where the ice has receded, walking on land that had never been walked upon before. I screened it with him a few months ago and more than once I wasn't sure if I was watching a shot of a painting or actual scenery. Of course, it's the actual scenery. Stunning.

Acid rain is making a comeback:
http://www.scientificamerican.co…Sulfur emissions from power plants were one of the primary motivations for the U.S.'s Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, which set reduction targets for both sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). However, whereas sulfur dioxide emissions decreased almost 70 percent from 1990 to 2008, emissions of one NOx—nitrogen dioxide (NO2)—went down only 35 percent for that same period, and amendment targets have yet to be made, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

"Some 98% of climate scientists that publish research on the subject support the view that human activities are warming the planet, a study suggests."

Yes. Climate change-or the potential for long-term climate change-has already impacted me significantly and if even some of the more modest predictions come true, my life will be affected even more and I am making reasonable changes to anticipate the possibilities. Let me first say that I am in a northern tier Midwestern state and involved in agriculture, not as a farmer but as a land owner and business manager.

TIME: Turning Up the Heat on Climate Change
http://ecocentric.blogs.time.com…
"It's already happening: last month the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that the January through May period this year was globally the hottest on record, with the average temperature in May 0.99 degrees above the 20th century average. (Meaning that during those March snowstorms that had climate skeptics building igloos, on a global basis, climate change hadn't taken a break.)"

Over significant (read: non-anthropocentric) timescales, that "new Climate" line will be oscillating around like a wobbly jelly, displaying period variations in variance AND mean, back and forth, in an almost chaotic periodicity that is the product of hundreds of regular, and many irregular separate wave-functions. We still don't have a way of predicting all but a few of the simpler ones. I'm not saying don't go ahead and act as if manmade CO2 directly affects one of these periodicities adversely, but it's a crap-shoot, and the odds are not in our favor that either the cycles are controllable, predictable, or care one hoot whether the environment suits us or not.
In short - just don't be a prick about it either way.

British Panel Clears Climate Scientists
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/0…"A British panel issued a sweeping exoneration on Wednesday of scientists caught up in the controversy known as Climategate, saying it found no evidence that they had manipulated their research to support preconceived ideas about global warming."
---------------------------
We just had the hottest decade on record and 2010 is shaping up to be the hottest year on record. How much hotter does it have to get before we realize that we should have listened to these scientists?
