Global Warming changes the Jet Stream, cause of more Extreme Weather
See Part One here YouTube One of the most confusing effects of climate change is the increasing incidence of weather extremes, that may include hot, AND cold, snow and rain, wet and dry, drought and flood. Scientists have been examining this problem intensely over recent years, as Europe, America, and Asia have all been subject…

Will climate change cause earthquakes?
Bill McGuire, author of ‘Waking the Giant: How a changing climate triggers earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes‘, discusses the topics raised in his book. Twenty thousand years ago our planet was an icehouse. Temperatures were down six degrees; ice sheets kilometres thick buried much of Europe and North America and sea levels were 130m lower. The…

Climate Change: DO THE MATH!
A brief preview of our education work communicating (1) recent climate change impacts on humanity, and (2) a comparison of the cost of addressing climate change as defined in the Stern report compared to the costs we currently incur every year to continue using fossil fuels.

NASA: The Polar Jet Stream
The polar jet stream can travel at speeds greater than 100 mph. Here, the fastest winds are colored red; slower winds are blue. The polar jet stream is strongest in winter when the temperature difference between warm and cold air in the Northern Hemisphere is at its highest. Meandering around the planet like a rollicking…
