Animated Activism

Just two days ago we stumbled upon a clever mathematical magic trick. If you haven't checked it out already, dust off your abacus and head to www.thinkofanumber.net. It really boils down the cutting edge climate science into a, well, more manageable form. Forget those supercomputer climate modeling scenarios - you can find the answers to the world's climate questions with the math skills you learned in gradeschool.

Well, today we heard of something even grander: an animated film of Al Gore giving the very same math lesson. Enjoy the film, and thanks to those creative minds for scheming this up!

 

Climate News: 20 Square Km Piece Breaks off Arctic Ice Shelf

"The rate we are losing ice is phenomenal. This (climate change) is real. I think a lot of people don't understand how fast things are changing up here", said Gary Stern yesterday, a Canadian scientist from the University of Manitoba, in response to giant piece of ice, 20 square kilometers or 7 square miles, that just broke off of the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf. This massive piece breaking loose ought to serve as yet another climate wake-up call in a long trend of rapidly accelerating ice melt in polar regions.

 

Think of a Number

Yesterday while skimming the web, searching for new partners, cool news hits, and the latest climate change impacts, we happened upon a cool new website. We have a hunch you'll like it too...you might even call it a 350 action!
