Why are big carbon polluters trying to stop pollution controls on airlines?
Did you know that someone flying from New York to London and back generates roughly the same carbon pollution in those few hours as the average European homeowner generates from heating her home all year long?February 22, 2012 | 9:07 AM
Get ready for the carbon smackdown
As you may have noticed, The Climate Reality Project blog has been full of content related to our Living on Thin Ice campaign.

Observing flash flood risk in the Sun Koshi River basin, Nepal
The shrinking of glaciers in this area is leading to the formation and growth of more glacial lakes. This basin is vulnerable to flash floods caused by sudden discharges of water from such lakes, known as glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), as well as additional floods from intense rainfall and landslides.February 14, 2012 | 3:06 PM
Thank you for standing up for the climate

Thawing permafrost: something I don't want to think about
Even just based on what we know, carbon pollution from permafrost is an important amplifier of climate change. Think climate change on steroids, folks. Not a pretty picture.February 08, 2012 | 9:15 AM

Severe heat and football
Public awareness about the scientific research on the dangers of concussions led to reforms in how players who have suffered head injuries are treated and when they are let back on the field. We need to make sure people understand that the risks players face from intense heat will increase as our climate continues to change.
