National Geographic Reports: The Challenge of Climate ChangeSubmitted Wed, 2008-04-16 09:08 — Sidroney National Geographic Reports: The Challenge of Climate Change It is nearly impossible to read a newspaper or magazine, listen to the radio, or watch the nightly news without encountering at least one mention of climate change. For years, melting glaciers and ice caps, cataclysmic storms, rising seas, and longer, hotter summers have fueled concerns that our planet is warming, and prompted heated debate among politicians, scientists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Quietly, below the roar of the crowd, National Geographic has been documenting the effects of climate change and its many contributing factors, and modeling the potentially devastating consequences for our environment and societies around the world. This event, the first in a new series called National Geographic Reports, will bring to the stage years of in-depth nonpartisan reporting and analysis into the issues of climate change. National Geographic Executive Editor Dennis Dimick has overseen this coverage and reporting, working side by side with senior writers, photographers, scientists, and research teams as they gathered and analyzed the data. In a sweeping visual journey, Dimick shares highlights of these scientific reports, magazine features, and data recovered from decades spent tracking carbon emissions, sea levels, air and water temperatures, and fuel consumption. He explains in layman’s terms the crux of climate change, and most importantly, what we—as individuals, as families, as communities, as companies, and as a nation—can do to reverse the trends.
