The Titanic At 100 Years: We're Still Ignoring Warnings, This Time It's Climate Change, Says Director James Cameron. By Joe Romm on April 13, 2012 at 12:31 pm "The Titanic At 100 Years: We’re Still Ignoring Warnings, This Time It’s Climate Change, Says Director James Cameron" One century ago this weekend, the great “unsinkable” ship ignored warnings of ice bergs in the vicinity, maintained a high speed, hit an iceberg because it couldn’t change course fast enough, and sank.
Most passengers died, in large part because there weren’t enough lifeboats. The New Yorker and the Washington Post have devoted major columns to “Why we can’t let go of the Titanic” and why ”fascination with it seems to be” unsinkable . Clathrate. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
Un clathrate, du grec klathron qui signifie fermeture, est un composé d'inclusion formé d'une ou plusieurs molécules d'eau (liées entre elles par des liaisons hydrogène), dites « molécules hôtes », qui emprisonnent une autre molécule de gaz, dite « molécule invitée », dans une sorte de cage moléculaire[1].

By Joe Romm "The Hockey Stick Lives: New Study Confirms Unprecedented Recent Warming Reverses 2,000 Years Of Cooling" Last month, we reported on the umpteenth study that confirmed the Hockey Stick.
It made clear the rate of global warming since 1900 is 50 times greater than the rate of cooling in the previous 5000 years. That study, Marcott et al, is the most the most comprehensive “Reconstruction of Regional and Global Temperature for the Past 11,300 Years” ever done. It’s the source of most of the data (in blue) in the jaw-dropping graph at the right (click to enlarge). Now a team of 78 researchers (from 60 institutions) in the international network PAGES (PAst Global Changes) has “published the most comprehensive reconstruction of past temperature changes at the continental scale” over the past 2000 years.
The most coherent feature in nearly all of the regional temperature reconstructions is a long-term cooling trend, which ended late in the nineteenth century. Avenir Climatique. The Big Conf 2 a été la plus grande conférence étudiante de France sur les enjeux énergie/climat en 2014.
Cette deuxième conférence nationale a sensibilisé des milliers d’étudiants au travers de dizaines de conférences! L’objectif du projet a été de former les étudiants aux défis auxquels le monde fait face, pour ensuite devenir des acteurs éclairés s’ils le souhaitent. Pour en savoir plus sur ces sujets, rendez-vous sur la section correspondante de notre site . Dans l’optique de la COP 21 qui se déroulera à Paris en 2015, nous avons voulu que les étudiants puissent comprendre ce qu’il s’y joue. Ce rendez-vous majeur pourrait être un moment décisif si une contribution structurée des jeunes se forme autour des décideurs. Après la pluie. Ça s'est drôlement rafraîchi aujourd'hui.
La pluie va sûrement plus tarder. Mais il a fait bien chaud ces derniers jours. Pourvu qu'on se paye pas une grosse drache comme au mois de mai (ouais, comme vache qui pisse, dis-donc !) , et surtout qu'on ait pas un été bien pourri comme l'an dernier (la vacherie.) Bin quoi ? Réchauffement climatique. Mais où sont passés les glaciers arctiques ? Réponse, avec "Chasing Ice"

Obama Golfed With Oil Men As Climate Protesters Descended On White House. WASHINGTON -- On the same weekend that 40,000 people gathered on the Mall in Washington to protest construction of the Keystone Pipeline -- to its critics, a monument to carbon-based folly -- President Obama was golfing in Florida with a pair of Texans who are key oil, gas and pipeline players.
Obama has not shied away from supporting domestic drilling, especially for relatively clean natural gas, but in his most recent State of the Union speech he stressed the urgency of addressing climate change by weaning the country and the world from dependence on carbon-based fuels. "We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy and the most severe drought in decades and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence," Obama said in the speech, last week.
