Summary .   A conference entitled “Global Climate Policy without the United States : Thinking the Unthinkable”, was held at Yale University Law School November 9-10, 2012 .   After an opening talk detailing the worsening state of global warming already under way, several speakers dealt with frameworks and strategies that could bypass the stalemated international deliberations on global warming.   These include transnational actions involving fewer nations, and cooperation among nations, nongovernmental organizations and private corporations.   Additionally two talks addressed geoengineering, and the need to act cautiously if at all in implementing it. Since the pace of greenhouse gas emissions is increasing, and the resulting warming of the planet grows accordingly, stratagems such as discussed in this conference should be pursued with all deliberate speed.   Avoiding the worsening effects of global warming may well rely on transnational and extra-governme...

I've created a video entitled “ Does Burning Fossil Fuels Cause Global Warming? ”. It’s a pictorial examination of the relationship between fossil fuel use, carbon dioxide increase, and increased long-term global average temperature. It presents experimental data showing that a) the long-term global average temperature is increasing, b) the atmospheric CO 2 level is increasing, c) the increased CO 2 originates from burning fossil fuels, and d) burning fossil fuels is a major factor directly contributing to global warming. Please have a look! 　 This video is the third in a series that also includes             Our Invisible Energy  a nd            Light and Heat - The Greenhouse Effect . 　 © 2012 Henry Auer
