Climate Science Watch

     After looking more into Terry Root and Steve Schneider I came across this website, Climate Science Watch.  They are a nonprofit public education group and project that is said to hold officials accountable for effectively using climate research and dealing with the global climate disruption.  Their work primarily focuses on the U.S. and its national policy developments.
     Their website has categories for a multitude of links from archives of information and posts from previous months and years dating back as far as 2005, to different videos involving talks with different climate scientists such as Dr. Benjamin Santer.  There are also videos recording their participation with 350.org's Global Work Party for action on climate and another of James Hansen and Rick Piltz on CBS 60 Minutes.  On a sidebar from the main page of the site you can be directed to a list of different categories from activism, to mitigation or adaptation, to the Obama Administration and even climate science censorship.

The Green Initiative

     Holy Name Central Catholic Jr./Sr. High School, located in Worcester, MA, has a green initiative project in the form of a wind turbine.  Kevin Schulte said that the site that was picked is perfect for a wind turbine and that it will be used for both educational purposes in future years but it will also get awareness about the need for renewable energies throughout the United States.  The project cost was $1.5 million dollars but the goal of the project is to be able to provide the school with electricity so it isn't bought through the grid.  More information about the Holy Name Green Initiative can be found here.

Adaptation and Mitigation

Adaptation and Mitigation are two ways in which we can deal with climate change and global warming.

The video, from the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board, is a short informational about how people can either adapt or mitigate according to climate change.  This can be done on a individual level or societal.

This video is from CES Thinking Europe in which the Vice-President of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Jean-Pascal Van Ypersele, talks about the main climate change issues.
