The American Meteorological Society released an updated Statement on Climate Change (also available here in pdf form), replacing the 2007 version that was in effect. The statement provides a brief overview of how and why global climate has changed in recent decades and will continue to change in the future. It is based on the peer-reviewed scientific literature and is consistent with the majority of current scientific understanding as expressed in assessments and reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the U.S. Global Change Research Program.
Daniel Bailey's Arctic Sea Ice Extent: We're gonna need a bigger graph was re-posted on Climate Progress, as was Dana's Realistically What Might the Future Climate Look Like?.
AKSYON KLIMA PILIPINAS, or simply Aksyon Klima, is a dynamic and fast-evolving network of civil society organizations (CSO’s) in the Philippines that banded together to grapple more effectively with the serious threats posed by the global climate crisis on our highly vulnerable country and people. Although member organizations carry diverse perspectives and separate agendas for social, political, economic or environmental development, they share a common recognition that climate change is an urgent cross-cutting issue and work collectively to address climate concerns at various levels and in various arenas.
