Global warming is such a heated debate..haha. Some say it is here and we must act now to stop it, while others see it all as a natural phase or a way for some new world order to make even more money off of us all. While all sides waste time debating this, the wildlife conservation community are seeing some drastic effects on animal populations and their migrations as we speak. Wildlife works in ways we cant fully understand yet. And we are trashing the planet before we can get a chance to really get to know and learn from our animal neighbors. There are so many articles on how the climate change is hurting our resources. I used a lot of ocean references in showing our current pollution trends as the ocean covers much more of the planets surface than land. So if the ocean is getting messed up, just think what we are doing to the land or to the climate! Dont take my word, check out these interesting and informative articles for yourself.

I’m remixing a number of the Climate Denial Crock of the Week videos, in order to address some complaints people have had. Number one, my sound mixing and quality have been poor, and I’ve gotten some better equipment and more experience, so I can make them a lot easier to listen to. Number two, people have asked for related urls and sites they can go to, in order to follow up on arguments presented in the video, so I am doing that here. The first-up remix is my debunking of the perennial denier favorite, ‘There’s Global Warming on Mars”, one of my favorites for content, and biggest embarrassments for sound. Here are the supporting links.

“Climate Change and The Global Ocean” is the first episode in the six-part series “Tides of Change”, exploring amazing NASA ocean science to celebrate Earth Science Week 2009.

For years, scientists have studied the world’s oceans by sending out ships and divers, deploying data-gathering buoys, and by taking aerial measurements from planes. But one of the better ways to understand oceans is to gain an even broader perspective – the view from space. nasa’s Earth observing satellites do more than just take pictures of our planet. High-tech sensors gather data, including ocean surface temperature, surface winds, sea level, circulation, and even marine life. Information the satellites obtain help us understand the complex interactions driving the world’s oceans today – and gain valuable insight into how the impacts of climate change on oceans might affect us on dry land.

The new millennium began with questions about the dependability of technology. Well, the Y2K disaster never happened, and technology continued to be our best friend. With artificial hearts and entire face transplants being used with success, the human race was on its way to solving some of lifes huge problems and mysteries. One such unknown was the age of the Universe, a piece of information that was discovered in the 2000s. Space exploration began investigating our planetary neighbor Mars, and found proof that planet once housed water. In this video, www.watchmojo.com reviews these and more scientific milestones from the first decade of the new millennium.

In the last two decades, the rate of our world’s warming accelerated. Scientists predict that the globe will continue to warm over the course of the 21st century. Is this warming trend a reason for concern? After all, our world has witnessed extreme warm periods before, such as during the time of the dinosaurs. Earth …
