Thanks. This report sums up the joint statement nicely. Now we just need follow up in the popular press about the scandalous lack of serious action by our government for people to get angry about this and demand an effective course of action. Of cou…

A more accurate quote from Ambassador Jones on (not) Peak Oil can be found in my reply to Ronnie Wright's 21 Dec blog "UN Climate Conference closes without adopting 'Copenhagen accord'"

No topic drift in my opinion! Climate change, Ocean acidification, Peak oil, Global Financial Crisis - all symptoms of the same problem - a massive overpopulation of one species using more than its fair share of energy/resources in a reckless manner…

I wanted to add one more comment to what I said below: I don’t believe for a moment that Obama has increased auto fuel efficiency to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change no more than I believe his increase in funding for biofuel was do…

I found the video Acid Test to be very informative for a general audience. I do have one criticism of it though. At around minute eighteen some guy talks about the importance of energy efficiency to solve the problem and goes on to say that energy e…

That’s a very interesting report Takver. I think that what most people also don’t realise is that these scientists are not giving the worse case scenario because they don’t want to sound alarmist. When pressed on the issue most of them will admit th…

Really great documentary. Simple but articulate and effective. Makes it easier for the common man to look at the tangible impacts of climate change.

Yeah its a thought provoking blog post. Also 20 million trees isn't as many as it sounds either. The Brisbane city council alone has a 2 million trees by 2012 program which has been running for a few years. Kind of puts 20 million tree over ten year…

Sigourney Weaver highlights threat from Ocean Acidification in Video Documentary

Just finished watching The Acid Test: The Global Challenge of Ocean Acidification short documentary on Ocean Acidification produced by the US based Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). It explains the issue and connection with global warming and climate change - but a little too simply for my preference - but the videography and production is excellent. 21:35 long. The actress Sigourney Weaver does the narration in this doco. For something a bit more in depth see marine chemist
