Climate Change Primer

This climate change primer is intended to give you enough of the global warming science and climate change research that you'll feel comfortable teaching it to or discussing it with your students.


If there's no action before 2012, that's too late.
What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment.
—Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2007



Wake Up, Freak Out — Then Get a Grip
(might take a moment to download)


Wake Up, Freak Out - then Get a Grip from Leo Murray on Vimeo.

This 11-minute movie is worth every second because it explains carbon feedbacks (and the scariest feedback of all, the destabilization of methane hydrates — the methane timebomb) so clearly.
(If the movie gets choppy, simply hover your cursor over the "screen" until the controls come up, then pause it for a few moments.)

More to come very soon.... It's election time here in Canada, and we're working hard to make climate change an important election issue for all our candidates.
