  2. RT@IceBridge Space Station astronauts are keeping an eye on glaciers. Pic from last month of Argentina's Upsala Glacier: http://tr.im/F44t
  3. World leaders drop climate target: "Won't be possible to broker climate deal@ Copenhagen". Copenhagen is "staging post" http://bit.ly/22kBto
  4. NASA gravity data shows Greenland ice cap melting faster than ever. Losing 273 gigatons/yr = 0.75 mm sea level rise/yr http://bit.ly/49aISU
  5. We know aerosols-tiny particles in the air-are important 4 climate change. New 12 yr satellite dataset will shed light. http://bit.ly/WPEjZ
  6. @Trailriderdan Oh, & ur right, you would never use a single evt 2 deduce climate change. You look 4 patterns of events and long-term trends.
  7. @Trailriderdan Here's some reading: http://bit.ly/3gBqsU http://bit.ly/4jQWHo http://bit.ly/4iECwq http://bit.ly/280a7Z.
  8. @Trailriderdan Who is we? US Climate Change Science Prgm, IPCC, National Ctr 4 Atmospheric Research say climate change->more extreme weather
  9. Sea level rise is not uniform. Levels nr W Australia rising 2x faster than elsewhere. 80% of Australians live nr coast. http://bit.ly/11L5Bb
  10. New footage from Oxfam shows cyclone Aila devastating Bangladesh in May this year. Climate change->more extreme weather http://bit.ly/2AE353
  11. Glacier loss on Mt Kilimanjaro continues unabated, may be gone in 20 yrs. <85% of 1912 ice left. http://bit.ly/3YRAki http://bit.ly/1OdyqK
  12. @TreeHugger @Michael_GR NASA turns 2 unmanned warplanes into environmental scouts! Will measure atmospheric gases. http://su.pr/2bcjCN.
  13. @quartz_amethyst Unfortunately action not forthcoming@ this point (no new climate treaty). Lots of good rhetoric, thought. No hard action.
  14. Global climate deal "6-12 months away". No legal treaty to come from Copenhagen. UN's run out of time; US won't commit. http://bit.ly/3iPi8j
  15. First Maldives cabinet meetings underwater. Now Nepal cabinet meetngs on Mount Everest! Politicians will meet@ Everest base camp..what next?
  16. @quartz_amethyst And also suggests that 500-600M people are currently at risk from displacement by climate change.
  17. @quartz_amethyst Darned 140 char limit! ;) No, I wasnt saying 10% of population=150M people. Report suggests 150M could be displaced by 2050
  18. Woah. 10% of world's population could be displaced by climate change, 150M people could be climate refugees by 2050. http://bit.ly/23cQbB
  19. Geoengineering in action! Beijing's 1st snow of the season artificially induced by seeding clouds. Aim 2 combat drought http://bit.ly/1GIXzN
  20. "Amend the Montreal Protocol!" Designed 2 protect ozone layer from CFCs, treaty mustn't ignore hydrofluorocarbons(HFCs) http://bit.ly/4pxL1T
