"We will be judged by those who come after us, both by what we did do and what we didn't do, in the time given to us."
Climate literacy 101:
- Basic: Planet Nutshell (videos); Skeptical Science's Big Picture (text)
- How to fix: Krugman's Building a green economy (excellent!)
- Weeding out disinformation: EPA's Response to Comments; SkepticalScience(+iphone), Crock (videos)
- Latest: Warming101 for science-aligned climate news, views, analysis
- YouTube: Greg Craven takes a risk-management approach, Crock of the Week attacks disinfo
Disclosure: I have no background in climate science that would equip me to second-guess the findings of the field. See: Gutting's On experts and global warming and Peter Watts ("science is alchemy..." )
