Governor Martin O'Malley outlined the State's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan, targeting significant emission reductions by 2020.

He underscored the critical need for collaboration between the public and private sectors to successfully implement these environmental initiatives.

GM CEO Dan Akerson, interviewed by Climate One at the Commonwealth Club, shared his perspectives on the convergence of economics, politics, energy, and business.

Akerson confirmed his belief in global warming and committed to reviewing the GM Foundation's support for the Heartland Institute.

The continental U.S. could face an 8-degree Fahrenheit temperature increase by the end of the 21st century if carbon dioxide concentrations reach 800 parts per million. Current CO2 levels stand at 400 ppm and are rising faster than at any time in Earth's history.

These projections, from the draft National Climate Assessment, are vividly illustrated through computer model visualizations. Allison Leidner, a NASA scientist, emphasizes that these visualizations effectively communicate the dramatic potential changes to the nation's climate, including future temperature and precipitation scenarios.

New computer model visualizations project significant changes in U.S. precipitation patterns under varying carbon dioxide emissions scenarios. By 2100, the southwestern U.S. could become considerably drier, while the northeastern U.S. may experience increased wetness.

These visualizations offer a powerful depiction of climate change impacts, illustrating the potential transformation of our nation's climate. As Allison Leidner, Ph.D., a NASA scientist, notes, they communicate these impacts in a way words cannot.

This video features a quote from Bill Moyers' July 12, 2013, YouTube interview with Marty Kaplan, titled "Distracted from Democracy."

Listen to President Obama's speech on Climate Change on EarthSayers.tv.

On June 25, 2013, President Obama unveiled a comprehensive plan to reduce carbon pollution, prepare for climate change impacts, and lead global efforts against it.

Despite the significance, Bill Moyers and Marty Kaplan highlighted the media's notable lack of coverage. Kaplan famously quipped, "And they just find climate change a snooze." A video clip of Kaplan's quote is available here.

Allan Savory, President and Co-founder of the Savory Institute in Boulder, Colorado, addresses desertification.

He explains that desertification, the turning of land into desert, affects two-thirds of the world's grasslands. This accelerates climate change and destabilizes traditional grazing societies.

Savory has dedicated his life to combating this. His work suggests a surprising method can protect grasslands and restore degraded land.

In this video, Jeff Goebel of AboutListening discusses the importance of restoring grasslands to rapidly remove atmospheric carbon and address climate change.

A leading expert, Jeff has nearly twenty years of national and international success helping individuals and communities achieve sustainable solutions through consensus building and conflict resolution. He has consulted for diverse clients, from non-profits and government agencies to corporations and small family ranchers.

Jeff was interviewed by Barry Heidt of Sustainability Action Media (SAM) in September 2012 at the Wisdom from the Origins Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The video was produced by Ruth Ann Barrett of EarthSayers.tv.

Bill McKibben's sermon, "God's Taunt," delivered on April 28, 2013, explored Job 38:1-11 and Matthew 19:16-22.

He advocated for divestment and applying pressure on companies at the root of climate change, stressing that there is no room for complacency.

"We are off the edge of history." Professor Lord Anthony Giddens discussed the politics of climate change in the Durham Castle Lecture Series on October 31, 2012.

The recording of this lecture was published on November 7, 2012.

The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) serves as a forum to assess progress and mobilize resources in addressing short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs).

It catalyzes new actions and bolsters existing efforts on near-term climate change, focusing on related public health, food and energy security, and environmental issues.

Carbon pollution impacts us all. It's time to implement a carbon price to hold polluters accountable and halt environmental destruction.

The World Bank warns that rising temperatures could be disastrous, urging more action to "Turn Down the Heat."

Published on February 25, 2013, this warning highlights critical issues in sustainability, global warming, and climate change.

Indigenous Peoples, led by Phil Lane Jr., spearheaded the largest climate change rally in Los Angeles history in February 2013. They marched thousands to LA City Hall, opened the event with traditional prayers, and delivered a strong message to President Obama.

The rally concluded with an "Idle No More - Protect the Sacred" Round Dance, during which an international treaty to protect sacred lands from Tar Sands projects was signed. Phil Lane Jr.'s leadership is further detailed in a video on EarthSayers.tv here, and his organization is the Four Worlds International Institute here.

On January 28th at 12pm (EST), Gary Lawrence, AECOM's Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer, will discuss how the company delivers solutions.

He will detail AECOM's approach to creating, enhancing, and sustaining the world's built, natural, and social environments. Learn more about Gary Lawrence.

Shifting the global energy system away from coal is imperative. Those with control and access to capital bear the greatest responsibility for this critical challenge.

John Fullerton, Founder and President of Capital Institute, leads a collaborative dedicated to transforming finance. Their aim is to foster a more just, resilient, and sustainable economic system.

In 2010, New York City's carbon footprint was 54 million metric tons of CO2, equating to 1.72 tons per second. This immense scale of atmospheric pollution is often difficult for most people to comprehend.

Carbon Visuals and the Environmental Defense Fund aim to make these emissions more tangible. They help visualize both the total output and the rate of emission, making the city's environmental impact more understandable.

In November 2012, President Obama addressed the press on climate change.

He emphasized the critical obligation to future generations to take action on this issue.

President Jim Yong Kim urges more aggressive global action to tackle climate change. A new scientific report, 'Turn Down the Heat', warns that the world is barreling down a path to heat up by 4 degrees at the end of the century if the global community fails to act.

This inaction would trigger a cascade of cataclysmic changes. These include extreme heatwaves, declining global food stocks, and a sea-level rise affecting hundreds of millions of people. The report underscores the critical need for immediate intervention to avert these devastating outcomes.
