Die Erderwärmung? Hat's doch schon immer gegeben!
(ZeitOnline / Otto Wöhrbach) Mit diesem Argument wird gern beschwichtigt: So schlimm könne der Klimawandel dann ja nicht sein. Doch wissenschaftlich ist das Unsinn.

(NationalGeographic) New data from two Arctic sites suggest some surface layers are no longer freezing. If that continues, greenhouse gases from permafrost could accelerate climate change.
(RollingStone) Last week, scientists learned that 40-foot piles of compacted sea ice — some of the oldest and most durable clusters in the Arctic — are breaking away from the coast of Greenland and drifting out to sea. One meteorologist called it “scary,” but it was hardly unexpected. As the earth’s climate heats up, the idea of a “blue Arctic” — that is, the disappearance of sea ice for at least part of the year, leaving only open ocean — has long been predicted by climate scientists. Some researchers believe that you might be able to kayak to the North Pole as early as 2030; others think the sea ice might last until 2040 or longer.
“We’re doomed,” says Mayer Hillman with such a beaming smile that it takes a moment for the words to sink in. “The outcome is death, and it’s the end of most life on the planet because we’re so dependent on the burning of fossil fuels. There are no means of reversing the process which is melting the polar ice caps. And very few appear to be prepared to say so.”
(Spiegel Online) Wissenschaftler rücken den Golfstrom wieder in den Mittelpunkt der Klimadebatte. Ihre Studie zeigt: Die Meeresströmung verliert doch an Kraft.
(Spiegel Online) Statt weiterhin CO2 in die Luft zu blasen, möchten Forscher aus dem Abgas künftig wichtige Chemikalien herstellen. Dafür brauchen sie allerdings sehr viel Ökostrom.

Fair World Project (FWP) is an independent campaign of the Organic Consumers Association which seeks to protect the use of the term “fair trade” in the marketplace, expand markets for authentic fair trade, educate consumers about key issues in trade and agriculture, advocate for policies leading to a just economy, and facilitate collaborative relationships to create true system change. Fair World Project was initially launched by the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) in 2010 with an emphasis on promoting fair trade in commerce, especially in organic production systems, and protecting the term “fair trade” from dilution and misuse for mere PR purposes, as conscious consumers expand the market for fairly traded products. While still guided by the principles of fair trade, we have expanded our mission to include labor justice, sweat-free apparel and family-scale farming that does not fit the traditional fair trade model. This expanded approach reflects the recognition that a just economy will not be achieved through a single model alone.
