Lists some natural causes and some man made and what we can do to reduce it.

Conventional models of climate change are built on two gross oversimplifications: that the environment is a passive carbon sink, and that increased carbon dioxide levels are the sole cause of climate change. In reality, the environment relies on a myriad of feedback loops...

One of the most pressing social issues of the 21st century, both in the United States and abroad, will be human population growth and its effect on global climate change.

My piece for the environment

This paper touches on the green House Gases schemes that seem to be a big world topic these days. It also looks at what the real motives are behind the so called "global warming issues" and the so called "fixes".

Recent news article covering predictions of prominent British economist outlining economic consequences of unchecked greenhouse gas emissions due to global warming.

The greenhouse effect has been the topic of discussions at every level. What can we do as individuals to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases? What can the government do?

Sarah Afshar interviews the maker of global standards for greenhouse gas research about global warming.

A new report from the Worldwatch Institute warns that human demands are stressing the Earth's natural systems, while still-rising carbon emissions could make catastrophic climate change inevitable.

A multi-institution study reports that carbon dioxide levels are rising both in absolute amounts and intensity, while the natural ability of land and oceans to absorb carbon dioxide is decreasing.

In order to explain how the greenhouse effect works I will first need to explain how a greenhouse works. A greenhouse is a glass building filled with plants.
