March 1st - In class presentation on Kyoto Protocol, with a little side trip to look at some evidence supporting anthropogenic climate change.
What you may have missed: 1) Lecture Notes (courtesy of Ms. Nyguen. Thanks!)

2) Links to evidence we explored: a) Trends in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels - from Mauna Loa, Hawaii (recent and historical) and global mean (recent and historical) averaged from different marine surface sites: []

b) I showed some slides from a Catherine Hayhoe, a Climate Scientist and Professor at Texas Tech University that I had come across and had been recommended to me. Here's a link to her website and a wealth of information regarding Climate Change. If you are interested in viewing a similar PP presentation to the one I showed, click on the link associated with __Looking for my climate change slides?__ Otherwise - have a poke around!

If you are interested in hearing her presentation (slides might be slightly different from above, but you'd be able to follow along) for an explaining of things, check out It's really quite interesting. []

3) Advocacy presentation by Liz Benneian from Oakvillegreen Conservation Association
