ReVolt - WorldWatch

OK, since the post yesterday was more of a teaser than an full post, I will continue and add a little more about WorldWatch and I will also feature their ReVolt blog today. Hopefully you have had a moment to check their site but if not you at least know from yesterday that they have four blogs.

Here is the mission statement for WorldWatch: "Worldwatch Institute delivers the insights and ideas that empower decision makers to create an environmentally sustainable society that meets human needs. Worldwatch focuses on the 21st-century challenges of climate change, resource degradation, population growth, and poverty by developing and disseminating solid data and innovative strategies for achieving a sustainable society."

I think that statement is really a more thorough version of this blog, as Enviro-Sustain is simply a personal pursuit.

OK, on to ReVolt!!! If you follow the link above or in yesterday's post you will see the first post so I won't spotlight that one but rather I will focus on one from June 29th titled Research We Wish We Didn't Need. This artlcle on their blog illustrates how climate change has a much ibgger consensus among climate researchers than the public believes there is and that climate change research should be considered more straight-forward than it has been in the past.

I followed this by linking to an article from Feb. 11th titled Arab Leaders Begin to Recognize Climate Change Impacts. In this article moderating positions of some oil producing nations in the Middle East as well as non-oil states who have realized climate change impacts are illustrated. Also the impact of sea level rise and diminishing freshwater from the Euphrates and Jordan rivers.

There is more to both of these posts than the few points I highlighted here and I really enjoy the WorldWatch blogs so hopefully you will too.
