U.S. Secretary of Energy speaks on green technology and climate change

Much of the outcome will depend on the Earth's response to an anticipated temperature increase of five or six degrees centigrade, an effect that won't take hold for another 100 to 150 years, he said. That's when the oceans, a vast storage sink for carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, are expected to reach capacity and begin expelling gases back into the air.

Women hit by climate change head to Capitol Hill | [Yet another completely insane story from your mainstream media] - Reuters

(Reuters) - Women hit hard by the effects of climate change -- drought, floods, sea level rise and crop failure -- gathered on Monday to plan a Capitol Hill push for U.S. legislation to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate "witnesses" from the United States, Peru, Senegal, Uganda and other countries aim to tell their stories to members of Congress on Tuesday in a lobbying effort timed to follow Monday's International Women's Day.

"Nature is disrupted," Marisa Marcavillaca of Peru said through a translator. "It rains when it shouldn't rain. We have freezing temperatures when we shouldn't have freezing temperatures. Because our yields are down, it is difficult to feed our children."

Constance Okollet of Uganda said she first noted a change in her farming village in 2007, when floods swept away most homes. Because her home still stood, she took in neighbors until there were 29 people staying in her house.

"We didn't know what was happening," Okollet said, wiping away tears at the memory. "We blamed God."
