Climate Change
October 14th, 2009 | by emontero |Another blog action day is upon us! It seems it was only yesterday when the discussion about poverty was front and center all around the blogosphere. This year’s topic, climate change, promises to reach even more people, thanks to the incredible number of participating blogs.
To commemorate this auspicious occasion, I’ve decided to share some of the links I found were both interesting and revealing. Enjoy!
- BBC’s Climate Change: BBC’s comprehensive site has a plethora of sources and links covering climate change. If you wanted an informative and descriptive take on the topic, this is a site you’d definitely have to read.
- Guardian’s Climate change section: Another awesome, educational source. Guardian’s climate change section has news, Q&As, pictures, videos and a lot of up-to-date content packed together nicely for our viewing pleasure.
- Information technologies vital to tackling climate change: A timely message from UN’s secretary general Ban Ki-moon: “ICTs are also very vital to confronting the problems we face as a planet: the threat of climate change. Indeed, ICTs are part of the solution. Already, these technologies are being used to cut emissions and help countries adapt to the effects of climate change.”
- Avoiding False Dichotomies: Chris Guillebeau dispels the perceived, false dichotomy of being either totally pro or against the environment. Chris also touches on a very important aspect that all of us trying to make a difference should be mindful of: balance is key.
