About this trail:
We all need to look at the facts, which must be based on the real data provided through scientific methods. No, we can't all collect and analyze ourselves, but we can compare many observations and conclusions presented by others. This is my collection of resources on the climate crisis.

"It's something of a miracle that An Inconvenient Truth, the chronicle of Al Gore's quest to raise alarm about "climate chaos," exists at all.

All of which you surely realize is leading to the inevitable question: Do you not feel some obligation to jump into the race? A. I'm not planning to be a candidate again. I appreciate the way you asked the question, I really do, but I'm not planning to be a candidate again.

A little old article, but it is more convincing with some real data neaar us. A friend, Monika Winder, is now researching Lake Taho in California. I'm not too concerned about salmon, but the temperature rise of the surface water is an alarming indicator.

Yet another side of co2 pollution: changing ocean's acidity level. Can we still swim in it? What'll happen to all those fish and animals?
