Weekly Report - Snowpack / Drought Monitor Update
Snowpacks have melted-out for water year 2005. Accumulated seasonal precipitation was extremely low in the Pacific Northwest and extremely high in the Southwest. Many SNOTEL stations with records of greater than 20 years in the Oregon and Washington Cascades report seasonal precipitation values in the lowest 5% of historical record, while the Southwest SNOTEL stations report seasonal precipitation values in the highest 95% of historical record.

UKCIP shares this information, free of charge, with organisations in the commercial and public sectors to help them prepare for the impacts of climate change. more about UKCIP.. The climate change we expect in the next 30-40 years will be due to our past greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change later this century will be determined by the emissions we allow now. We need to adapt our way of life so that we can prepare for the changes that are already in the climate system, as well as limiting our future greenhouse gas emissions. more about climate change...

Estimated Time Required: 50 minutes
Anticipated Learning Outcomes
  • Students will gain an understanding of how the movements of the Earth's plates over the past 180 million years (abbreviated My) may have affected the climate of the continents.
  • Students will use maps of ancient continental positions and, with some basic concepts about climate zones, hypothesize what climate changes may have occurred due to plate movements.
Background Climate is simply weather "averaged" over a time period of one year or more. In general terms, the climate in most of the United States and Canada is "temperate". Moving to the south, closer to the equator, the climate is "subtropical" and then "tropical". At the Earth's poles the climate is termed "polar". Each of these climate zones is characterized by a distinctive temperature range, rainfall amount, and type of vegetation. In a very simplified sense, climate zones are oriented roughly parallel to lines of latitude about the Earth. However, according to the theory of plate tectonics, the continents "ride" on dynamic plates which make up the Earth's surface. Although the resulting movement of the continents is very slow, over millions of years it is enough to get a continent from one place to another, and that movement may take the landmass through several latitudes and climate zones.

Navigation Team Was Unfamiliar with Mars Climate Orbiter

10 November 1999
The Mars Climate Orbiter was lost at the Red Planet nearly seven weeks ago because the mission's navigation team was unfamiliar with the spacecraft. It lacked training, and failed to detect a mistake by outside engineers who delivered navigation information in English rather than metric units, according to a mission failure investigation report released Wednesday. A litany of errors and problems led to the loss of the $125 million spacecraft on Sept. 23, a loss that has complicated an upcoming Mars landing mission, the report says. The report was released Wednesday during a press conference at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. While the root cause of the failure was the units mix-up between navigation teams, the real problem was a systemic failure to follow NASA procedures, said Ed Weiler, NASA's Associate Administrator for Space Science. Edward Weiler Checks and balances processes that should have caught such errors were not followed, Weiler said. However he and the report's authors avoided assigning blame, instead indicting all of NASA for the failure.

Campaign of the ICLEI working with over 500 local governments to develop a strategic agenda to reduce global warming.
http://www.iclei.org/co2/
ICLEI worldwide member login Local Action 21 sustainable cities ... procurement Cities for Climate Protection (CCP)
The Cities for Climate Protection TM (CCP) Campaign enlists cities to adopt policies and implement measures to achieve quantifiable reductions in local greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and enhance urban livability and sustainability. More than 650 local governments participate in the CCP, integrating climate change mitigation into their decision-making processes. ICLEI runs this highly successful and widely recognized campaign either regionally or nationally in Australia Canada Europe Japan ... Southeast Asia , and the United States
The campaign is based on an innovative performance framework structured around five milestones that local governments commit to undertake. The milestones allow local governments to understand how municipal decisions affect energy use and how these decisions can be used to mitigate global climate change while improving community quality of life. The CCP methodology provides a simple, standardized way of acting to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and of monitoring, measuring, and reporting performance.
Benefits of Participation
Communities that participate in the CCP benefit from the actions that they take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through:
  • Financial savings in reduced utility and fuel costs to the local government, households, and businesses.
