Open-loop geothermal heating systems, unconventional increased disease risk resulting rising temps and how to build adaptive capacity into building infrastructure are among the things I heard during the Holland Climate House’s "Cities and Climate Change" series of events today. There were a few things I found to be directly applicable to Alma and the surrounding …

The Carbon Offsetting Trick
I don't have much to add to this video as it is pretty self explanatory. I apologize for the bad sound as I was filming this on my point and shoot camera. This video does beg the question. What do you think about carbon offsetting? If you're not sure about the topic you should go …
Aliens Invade COP15
