Too Little Rain, Too Much Sea for Tuvalu.

Like the tiny island nation of Kiribati in the South Pacific, Tuvalu is reportedly suffering a double punch from climate change - too little water and far too much.

Would you curb your CO2 ommissions to help Tuvalu?

The Car of the Future!

It can travel on land, sand, ice and water....

For the students in the schools I visited last week - here are some links about how the world is changing (click on the paragraphs below).

We are living through the greatest period of change the world has ever known.

The Polar Eskimos have always lived in harmony with nature, taking from the sea and land what they need to survive. But global warming has upset the equilibrium and left the future uncertain.

Scientists say Greenland is losing ice mass at an increasing rate - photos of the break-up of the Petermann Glacier.

For the first time in living memory, the sun rose above the horizon two days early – a phenomenon that has baffled Greenlanders and scientists. Some believe that the most plausible explanation is global warming. It is thought that the Greenland ice sheet and the glaciers surrounding the town are melting so rapidly that it is now possible to see a lower part of the horizon that was previously hidden by the ice.

Not only has global warming made hunting considerably more dangerous, it has also halved the hunting season.

The last straw?

The world may have to resort to technology that sucks greenhouse gases from the air to stave off the worst effects of global warming, the UN climate change chief has said before talks on the issue beginning on Monday.

"We are putting ourselves in a scenario where we will have to develop more powerful technologies to capture emissions out of the atmosphere," said Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN framework convention on climate change. "We are getting into very risky territory," she said, stressing that time was running out.
