The document summarizes the Strategic Plan for Climate and Global Change Research by the Climate Change Science Program (CCSP). The CCSP aims to provide science-based information to inform public debate and policymaking on climate change and global change issues. The strategic plan focuses on near-term climate change decision support and addressing key uncertainties through research. It also supports ongoing broad Earth system research on issues like the carbon cycle, ecosystems, and human contributions to environmental change through multiple research elements. The strategic plan development process involves input from the National Research Council and stakeholders.
This document discusses policies and challenges related to reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale. It notes that while the link between emissions and global warming is established, the timing and location of impacts remain uncertain. Transitioning away from fossil fuels is difficult as infrastructure built around cheap fossil fuels takes decades to replace. Managing emissions from developing countries will also be important as populations and energy usage grow. Technologies exist to reduce emissions but require long-term planning and global political cooperation to implement gradually through infrastructure replacement.

The document discusses engineering responses to climate change through a proactive strategy of providing clean, affordable energy for a growing global population. It outlines challenges like reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on oil. New technologies like carbon capture and storage could allow continued fossil fuel use while storing carbon underground. A triad of large-scale zero-carbon options is proposed: solar, nuclear, and fossil energy with carbon storage. Markets would drive efficiency along with alternative energy development.
This document describes a robust visual tracking system for golf clubs during a swing using a single video camera. The system detects the club in each frame using background subtraction and parallel segment detection. It generates hypotheses for the club location and removes implausible ones. Tracking is done frame-by-frame using a maximum likelihood estimation technique over multiple frames to deal with detection errors. The system models club motion with a double pendulum model and separates the swing into upswing and downswing phases with different motion models.

This document promotes going green and living more sustainably through small everyday actions like turning off lights when not in use, recycling, taking the stairs instead of elevators, checking for energy efficiency around the house, and using public transportation to reduce emissions. If everyone does their part, these small individual actions can collectively make a big difference in helping the environment.
The document provides tips for saving energy and going green, including turning off lights when leaving a room, driving an electric car that costs $8,000, teaching toddlers to go green with electric toy cars, using renewable energy which looks better than factories, having dogs help with the laundry to use less electricity, reducing city lighting to just top floors to help pilots while saving energy, and noting global warming will flood coastal cities like New York.
Climate change is caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels which release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Effects of climate change include more extreme weather, rising sea levels, threats to fresh water and food production. While the US has resisted the Kyoto Protocol to limit emissions, Canada and others are working to reduce greenhouse gases and support new technologies through initiatives like the TEAM program.
The document discusses the impact of climate change on the insurance industry and outlines initiatives by European institutions and insurers to address the issue. It notes that many insurance classes are affected by natural catastrophes whose losses have increased significantly in recent years. The document also summarizes initiatives by the European Union and reinsurers to implement emissions trading schemes, study impacts, and develop new risk assessment tools. It calls for partnerships between public and private sectors focused on prevention through mitigation and adaptation measures.

The document provides tips for conserving electricity, heat, water, and fuel to help the environment. It recommends setting thermostats to 68 degrees during the day and 60 at night, taking shorter showers to conserve water, only running the dishwasher when full and air drying dishes, not speeding to save fuel, turning off electronics like TVs and computers when not in use, using public transportation, and insulating drafty doors and windows.
1) Rainforests play a key role in climate change by absorbing carbon emissions and hosting a wealth of biodiversity.
2) The Kyoto Protocol fails to adequately address deforestation or provide incentives for developing rainforest nations to conserve forests.
3) A new framework is needed to align the interests of rainforest nations with developed countries by compensating rainforest nations for reducing emissions from deforestation.
A survey of over 1,800 Iraqi households found that approximately 600,000 Iraqis have died since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. The survey was conducted by Iraqi doctors who were trained in public health research methods and interviewed households across Iraq between May and July 2006. It estimated that over 80% of deaths were due to violence, including gunfire and car bombings, with most victims being men between the ages of 15 and 44.
This document discusses climate change science and ethical implications. It provides an overview of climate change observations and predictions, including increasing global temperatures and greenhouse gas levels. Projections include further warming, sea level rise, and more extreme weather events by 2100. Ethical issues discussed are responsibility for emissions and impacts, with developing nations most vulnerable despite contributing least to the problem. The document summarizes the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments and Kyoto Protocol. U.S. policy rejects mandatory emissions limits unlike the Kyoto approach.
The United States Energy Information Administration provides a map showing the major coal producing states in the US. Wyoming is the largest coal producing state, followed by West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Texas. The map uses shading to visually depict which states produce the most coal and allows users to view coal production data by state over time.
