COP15
Countdown to Copenhagen : Climate Change







Climate change is one of the most important ecological imperatives facing the human population in our modern times. There is hardly any debate remaining among scientists these days regarding whether climate change exists or whether it is caused by human activities. Climate change threatens not just global average temperature, but it also can play a damaging role in all other aspects of ecosystem health, such as biological diversity and world food supply. We have identified the problem, now we must come up with a fair and sustainable solution.

This blog will focus around the United Nations climate change conference to be help in Copenhagen from December 7th to 18th 2009. During this conference, 192 countries including two of the largest polluters - the United States and China - will gather to discuss the problem and try to find solutions. These widely varied countries will be responsible for the onus task of hammering out an agreement that can satisfy all involved for the period following 2012.

The countdown to COP15 TIG blog aims to consolidate the many youth climate action blogs from around the world, while offering a forum for youth to get informed and get involved regarding this important issue.

Climate deniers? There’s an app for that.



For anyone who has been stuck in a
conversation with someone who passionately says something about climate
change that is utterly uninformed, you’ll know how nice it is to not
only be able to talk about the science that proves them wrong, but now
you can actually show them research on it right there in the middle of
the moment.

Thanks to an Australian solar physicist John Cook, you can access via an iPhone app skeptics’ arguments, and then get the science-based counter-arguments in the palm of your hand.

From treehugger.com:

When you turn on the app, you can look at the top 10 most used
arguments, or search through three main argument categories – including
‘It’s not happening’, ‘It’s not us’, ‘It’s not bad’. As you search, you
can pull up a skeptic argument (there are 90 arguments listed in the
app with their rebuttals so far), then a summary of what the science
says. It even includes graphs and links to scientific papers and other
sources.

Sounds nifty! Too bad I don’t have an iPhone…
