30.12.2005 A detailed insight into the science behind global warming and climate change. The impact of recent climate reports are explained in a no-nonsense language as are many of the common terms and phrases often used by the press and politicians alike.

29.12.2005 Princeton's Robert Socolow has created a very useful concept he calls "stabilization wedges" to illustrate the idea that we need a combination of approaches to climate change.

With stabilization wedges, a multitude of projects, from efficiency to de-carbonization to sequestration and more, combine to reduce overall carbon emissions, a task that at times can seem impossible. Individually, the wedges are difficult but achievable. As Scolow is quoted by the Economist, this approach "decomposes a heroic challenge (eliminating the emissions in the stabilisation triangle) into a limited set of merely monumental tasks."

Check out his very graphic animation explaining the concept - and showing that smart ways of living at home can produce a saving of a billion tonnes of CO2 over the vital next 50 years.
