Interesting Links & PDF's: Some useful, some fun & controversial
WMO Ozone Depletion Report 2006
The EPA
Greenhouse Emission Calculator
Ecological Footprint
Calculator
Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
******* IPCC WGI AR4 (2007) SPM (the working group I (climate science) "summary for policy
makers", 2007 – Required reading for lecture)
IPCC WGII AR4 (2007) SPM (the
working group II (impacts, etc.) summary, 2007)
IPCC AR4 "Synthesis Report" (2007) SPM (the
overall summary, 2007)
IPCC Carbon Storage (the sub-study of carbon
storage/sequestration options – a good project topic!)
IPCC Halocarbons Report (recent synopsis of halocarbon
emission on their relation to ozone depletion and climate)
Honorarium Offer From
the American Enterprise Institute (In late 2007, on the eve of the
release of the IPCC "AR4" report, the
American Enterprise Institute was offering a $10,000
"honorarium" (a.k.a. bribe) to any climate scientists that would
write a dissenting essay – as far as I know no such report has surfaced)
ExxonSecrets.org (front for GreenPeace – so
take it with a "grain of salt" perhaps – nonetheless fun and
loaded with thought provoking information and a "who's-who's" of
Climate Skeptics, their organizations, and the money trail back to ExxonMobile).
The Barton Letter (a pdf copy of the setter sent by Rep. Barton (R-TX) summoning
data, lab books, and other info from several prominent climate scientists
– hailed as a victory over "junk science" by the Fox News web
site).
The Barton
Letter Rebuttal (Rep. Waxman, D-CA)
