EDITORIAL ARCHIVE Alan Burns/Becky Burns: December 17, 2008How This Site Can Work For You There are countless thousands of web sites addressing the multitude of issues that surround climate change, or global warming.That’s the problem. Thinkglobalgreen.org aims to collect and make accessible the many issues associated with global warming. Alan Burns: February 3, 2009 The Role of Water in Our Planet's Future We have always taken water for granted, perhaps until recently. While there is a finite supply, two things have changed in the world. Population increase reduces the amount available to everyone. Also climate change has altered where that rainfall goes - some regions will be experiencing more flooding, others greater drought. That is already happening. Mark Lynas: February 10, 2009 The Climate Change Clock is Ticking Global warming is a global issue. A tonne of CO2 is a tonne of CO2, wherever it is emitted. How you do the counting is more a matter of politics than mathematics. All we can say with near-certainty is that the warmer it gets, the further into dangerous territory we stray. Alan Burns: March 14, 2009 What rising sea-levels mean According to the PBS program “NOW” a top UN official predicts that by the middle of this century, the world should expect six million people per year to be displaced by increasingly severe storms and floods caused by climate change. Paul Hawken: July 29, 2009 Speaking to today's young graduates - your environment - your future. When asked if I am pessimistic or optimistic about the future, my answer is always the same: If you look at the science about what is happening on earth and aren’t pessimistic, you don’t understand the data. But if you meet the people who are working to restore this earth and the lives of the poor, and you aren’t optimistic, you haven’t got a pulse. Elizabeth Rosenthal: October 1 2009 What makes Europe greener than the US? The average American produces three times the amount of CO2 emissions as a person in France. A US journalist now living in Europe explains how she learned to love her clothesline and sweating in summer. J. Wayne Leonard - Chairman and CEO of Entergy : October 21 2009 Energy CEO speaks out on Climate change threat to America "It’s about our children. It’s about our children’s children. We’re cheating them out of their future, and we’re doing it with our eyes wide open. And that’s exactly how history will judge us if we don’t pass comprehensive climate and energy reform now." Alan Burns: December 5, 2009 Copenhagen Analysis We must mitigate whatever damage is ahead. Tara Steinmetz: July 21 2010 Nuclear energy is not a viable alternative to oil dependency. If we want to get serious about finding alternatives to oil dependence and to solve global warming, we have to stop wasting time and money on nuclear energy. Dr. James Hansen: September 1 2010 Am I an activist for caring about my grandchildren's future? How had I been sucked into being an "activist"? Weren't there other ways to do that in a democracy? Alan Burns: November 12 2011 Why Keystone XL pipeline failed approval and future prospects now for tar sands oil. With the Keystone XL pipeline decision delayed until after the 2012 election, a review of why approval by the State Department failed, and the alternatives ahead for Alberta's tar sands oil development. Michael D. Lemonick: December 1 2011 The next 500 years of sea level rise Scientists didn't pick 2100 because they think that's when sea-level rise will stop - sea level will continue to rise for hundreds of years no matter what emissions path we choose to take.
