A website started by Malcolm Crocker of U3A Henley-on-Thames and Tom Holloway of U3A International UK to study climate change and global warming.

Lastest News and Key Events

We invite you to join this online study group which will sift through the evidence and the latest technologies and actions to try to build a better picture for the general public. The site now contains over 850 authoritative extracts and needs your help to build it and comment on the entries. Please also report your Eco Projects, like Marchwood Eco Renovation or your Toyota Prius, so that others may be able to plan their projects.

Introduction

Climate Change will affect our grandchildren and the whole of civilisation in profound ways but most of us know so little about it. Until we know more the politicians are not free to propose legislation radical enough to deal with the problem and its effects.

The subject is also highly complex as it involves physics, technology, meteorology, plant and animal sciences, fuel sciences, politics and world poverty. Scientists do not have experience in all these fields so a real team effort is needed. The answers however need to be expressed in terms all can understand.

We are breaking the Wiki into sections which will enable specialists to make valuable contibutions. Those contributions may be edited or prefaced to make them easy for the public to understand.

As you find authoritative information please feel free to create a new page on the Wiki and reference it as a source on the subject page. If a new subject is needed please feel free to create it and include your name in the group details.

Is a scenario taking place in your mind? Please tell us about it.
