THE STORY OF CAP AND TRADE
This is a very good summary of what "cap and trade" is, why it could be a solution for climate change, but how the current cap-and-trade approach is really just a giveaway to big business and won't fix the climate problem. All done with a humorous touch from the 'Story of Stuff' folks. Watch funny cap-and-trade video.

It's Wrong to Wreck the World — 02 May 2012 — Kathleen Dean Moore delivers an excellent talk about the side effects of our boneheaded approach to living on the planet---that we are wrecking nature, particularly the stable climate. She argues that we adults have a moral obligation to the future to do something about it. She offers insights into the contradictions most of us find in our heads and gives a few suggestions on how we might tackle the climate problem before it's too late.

Is It Too Late for Climate Action? — 09 May 2012 — Robert Rapier explains that the economic and political trends in the world strongly suggest that energy needs and demands for economic growth will continue to trump effective climate action. More broadly, Michael M'Gonigle explains his "Exit Environmentalism" concept, saying that we must recognize the environmental approaches that saw successes in the 1970s and 1980s have been stalled for two decades, and they will remain stalled until we address how money and power work.

SEA CHANGE
The planet's warming temperatures mean more for the oceans than just a rise in sea levels. This NOW segment reviews the evidence that suggests climate change is also affecting ocean currents and the chemistry of the seas, with potentially catastrophic results. There is also a neat little experiment they do that shows why global warming and the melting of the Arctic ice cap is such a big deal (and not just for polar bears!). Watch global warming/ocean effects video.
