class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and pushed for more
innovation in clean energy, during an event Friday at Columbia
University in New York <br>
"Certain topics are so complicated like climate change that to
really get a broad understanding is a bit difficult and
particularly when people take that complexity and create
uncertainty about it," Gates said...<br>
The planet needs to find reliable, cheap and clean energy, "the
innovations there will be profound," Gates said.<br>
In December, Gates announced that he and a group of investors
would invest more than $1 billion in Breakthrough Energy
Ventures, a fund that aims to finance the development of
affordable energy that will reduce global greenhouse-gas
emissions.<br>

physics in the late nineteen eighties ... a lot of physicists
were looking for other areas of science where they could apply

<font size="-1">Two problems that were really interesting and ...
as it happened a climate modeling was one of those areas and so
I ended up switching departments. I switched into the
department of geology and geophysics at Yale ...and ended up
doing my PhD with a guy named Barry Saltzman on climate modeling
and it led me down a path that I never could have foreseen ....
pursuing a line of inquiry...to look at these climate proxy
records. That...led us to try to reconstruct past climates
using these records and it led to this curve the hockey sticker
which was almost just a by product of that research but it

about the history of glaciological research in Antarctica. Since
the International Geophysical Year (July 1, 1957 to December 31,
1958), scientists have uncovered important details about the
Earth's climate by examining the properties of Antarctica's ice.
On this website, created by French documentarian Luc Jacquet and
the non-profit media organization Wild Touch, visitors can learn
about this history through a six-part video. Within each video
chapter, educators will also find a number of related resources.
These resources include recorded interviews with key scientists,
detailed PowerPoint presentations, educational booklets, and
short videos. While some of resources are embedded on the site,
others can be downloaded through a link on the right side of the
browser. Educators may also create their own classroom websites
that feature specific resources of their choice. Worth noting:
Ice and Sky earned a 2016 Webby nomination as an outstanding

<blockquote><font size="-1">A new study calculates that temperatures
have warmed at least 1°C since the early 1880s</font><br>
<font size="-1">Most scientists studying global warming compare
today's temperatures to those of the late 19th century because
that is as far back as quality temperature observations go. But
a new study makes the case for a better comparison period, one
that includes the warming that had already resulted by the
middle of the 1800s and shows how close the world already is to
breaching international warming targets...</font><br>
<font size="-1">For the new study, detailed Wednesday in the
journal Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, the
authors suggested using 1720-1800 as a pre-industrial period,
because it is before greenhouse gas-spewing industrial
activities kicked into gear but still relatively recent. It was
also after the unusually cold period called the Little Ice Age
driven by volcanic eruptions and solar activity.</font><br>

<blockquote><font size="-1">Coal-Funded Climate Denial - A few weeks
ago, climate science denial group the Heartland Institute
announced that Palmer would join the group as a senior fellow...</font><br>
<font size="-1">But while many despise that nefarious industry
funding and see it as a clear and undisclosed conflict of
interest, Palmer is unapologetic to those people...</font><br>
<font size="-1">"Maybe they do [despise that kind of activity].
But they don't understand life and they don't understand
advocacy. I can't help that … I am reaching out to the fossil
fuel community right now and raising money for Heartland," he
said. "Of course that's acceptable."</font><br>
<font size="-1">On his interpretation of the science, Palmer's
views have changed not one bit since the late 1990s...</font><br>
<font size="-1">"There are no observations that we have been
having catastrophic global warming — it's sophistry. It's an
agenda driven by lawyers who make their own facts and make up
their own laws and that was called the Obama administration.
[Former vice president Al] Gore would have been the same way if
he had been in power."..</font><br>
<font size="-1">Palmer does not accept, for example, that records
of extreme heat are linked to CO2 levels in the atmosphere. He
says rising sea levels are "not a threat to any coastal area in
the world, at all."...</font><br>
<font size="-1">Palmer's views, and those of others now embedded
in the Trump-led administration, are, of course, contradicted
outright by every major scientific academy on the planet...</font><br>
<font size="-1">According to Oreskes, climate science deniers like
Palmer are understandably emboldened by Trump's election.</font><br>
