A lake is missing in Chile and this week, Buenos Aires has seen snow for the first time in 89 years, but who is to blame? There has been a lot of debate following the recent documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle, which claimed that climate change had little to do with carbon emissions and instead blamed solar activity. However, a recent report by the IPCC concludes that greenhouse gases are about 13 times more responsible for rising global temperatures than the sun. And now, a scientific study published in the Royal Society's journal, Proceedings A, claims that although cosmic rays may have affected climate in the past, this is not the case at present. In the meantime, the Live Earth concerts hoped to agitate people into some positive green action, even though the size of the carbon footprint left by Live Earth itself is yet to be assessed by auditors PriceWaterhouseCoopers. How about the effect climate change is having on tourism? Research undertaken by Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre in the Holiday 2030 report looks at how tourism in various regions across the globe will change in the future. And how is the population trying to adapt to climate change? The Eldis website focuses on global development policy, practice and research; their website contains many resource guides, case studies, articles and and working papers to include strategies in climate change adaptation.It's getting Chile..
