Here's a Daily News column I wrote a couple years ago on global warming.
Also: Find out how you can win Larry David's hybrid car from his HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Plus see all that his wife, Laurie, is doing to help our environment. Do what you can to help her efforts. She is a good friend and a great gal! Oh and another thing, don't drive an SUV near her, she has been known to ticket big gas guzzlers and engage drivers in chats about what we can all do to conserve fuel.
UPDATE: Has your Mayor signed the Climate Protection Agreement?
Find out if he or she did and offer a congrats or a call to action depending.
UPDATE 5/15: The Christian Aid Organization warned that over 184 million could die in Africa alone due to droughts and famines caused by global warming in the coming decades, reversing the recent progress made on reducing poverty in the region.

Just came across this on Think Progress
Top NASA scientist James Hansen explained why he did not attend a recent House committee hearing on global warming. I would get out of my sickbed to testify to Congress on global warming, if they were ready to deal responsibly with the matter, Hansen wrote. But obviously they are still in denial, inviting contrarians to balance the science of global warming.

Another NASA nugget:
NASA quietly had its mission statement changed last February by the White House, who deleted the phrase to understand and protect our home planet. NASA scientists were surprised to learn of the change. Without it, these scientists say, there will be far less incentive to pursue projects to improve understanding of terrestrial problems like climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions.
