Climate Change 101 - what's worked best for you?

For ClimateX members and others who'd like a quick overview of climate change, there's a great plain language summary available here, courtesy of the New York Times.  Do let us know which of the topics you'd like us to cover in greater depth on our site.

Do you have a different take on any of subjects covered?  If so, tell us why, and what evidence leads you to that conclusion.

If you've used this summary or similar basic information in your work to spur action, please let us know what's worked.

Thanks and best wishes,

Dave
