Andrew Revkin on The Interviewpoint pt 1
From http://theinterviewpoint.com ...
With an impending population of nine billion and a growing consensus that climate change posses significant dangers, Andrew Revkin has tackled the question of global sustainability with his New York Times blog Dot Earth. In this wide-ranging discussion of climate concerns Revkin says many experts point to political leadership as a key solution but Revkin cites research that makes such political action problematic.
"If we all jumped in Hummers and drove in circles and jerked up the thermostats or if we sat like the Buddah and didn't use any fossil fuels, the climate system which is this huge bank of energy has so much momentum it won't notice for 20 years. So that adds a horribly politically inconvenient time scale to this problem," Revkin says. "Because you can't cut a ribbon, fix it, and then get reelected based on that really smart choice you made."

Fun with CO2 on a Greenland Glacier
Francesca Galeazzi, an artist and architectural engineer, is one of a couple of dozen people exploring west Greenland as part of the Cape Farewell arts, science and climate project. Here, she releases a cylinder of carbon dioxide, the main emission linked to global warming, and jokingly says all's well because she bought some "offsets." For more on questions about carbon offsets and the expedition, visit:

NORTH POLE ICE CRACKING (global warming, Arctic, climate)
The sea ice at the North Pole is only a few feet thick. It floats on an ocean that is 14,000 feet deep. And it's cracking under our feet. A global warming expert suggests what to do... Everything you hear -- all the chugging and huffing and banging -- is the ice beneath us.
