Facing Habitat Change

The following documents are organized as follows: general info, continents, atmosphere, oceans, species, Solar System, energy, geoingeneering, predictions, preparedness. Source criteria, from top to bottom: state-run institutions, observatories, researchers, papers, magazines, blogs. My recognition to NASA (GISS, NOOA), Max Plank Institute, Japan Meteorological Agency, Scientific American magazine. I would like to honour Jacques-Ives Cousteau (1910-97), father of Ecology and Oceanography, who relentlessly alerted the world.

"The Polluted Air", Vol. 89/4. Time magazine pioneered with this historic issue, back in 1967. We were warned, but after fifty years we triggered a positive feedback climate event, at exponencial rates of destruction. Photo: courtesy Time, from Pouchulu's archives.
