Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with The Nature Conservancy’s Voluntary Carbon Of…: 4:30am 2 reviews environment, global-warming, climate-change, carbon-footprint, carbon-offsets
http://sustainablog.org/2008/07/23/reduce-your-carbon-footprint-with-the-natu...; Carbon offsetting has been around for a while now, giving you the opportunity to reduce your "carbon footprint" by trading cash for your personal carbon output. In most cases, this quid pro quo occurs through a donation to an organization that plants trees of some sort in some place where, hopefully (but not always), they are both needed and helpful to the original habitat. In theory, these trees then sequester carbon dioxide in the air-a major cause of global warming, acid rain, and other current environmental problems.

City of Austin - Austin Climate Protection Program: Jul 1, 5:50am 1 review environment, austin, global-warming, texas, carbon-footprint
http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/acpp/co2_footprint.htm; An individual's carbon footprint represents the amount of greenhouse gasses that a person produces through his/her daily activities. These gasses generally come from the burning of fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas). Carbon dioxide (CO2), and other greenhouse gasses, can have a profound effect on the climate. The first step in decreasing this impact and protecting our climate is to know your carbon footprint.

Exclusive: No ice at the North Pole - Climate Change, Environment - The Independ…: Jun 29, 8:09pm 47 reviews environment, nature, science, global-warming, climate-change
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/exclusive-no-ice-at-t...; It seems unthinkable, but for the first time in human history, ice is on course to disappear entirely from the North Pole this year. The disappearance of the Arctic sea ice, making it possible to reach the Pole sailing in a boat through open water, would be one of the most dramatic - and worrying - examples of the impact of global warming on the planet. Scientists say the ice at 90 degrees north may well have melted away by the summer.
