Can we prevent
Global Warming?Strong evidence linking the strength of
ocean waters near Central America
influencing El-Nino events in the North Atlantic.
How recent
Warming has affected large sections of permafrost across central
Alaska, which will raise ocean water levels and threaten coastal communities
worldwide
Devastation to East Florida coral reefs from the combination of warming
ocean temperatures and canal flow from the Everglades.
Innovative efforts by the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, developed by
11 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, to address carbon dioxide emissions from
power plants in the region.
GWIC will feature speakers from organizations like the National Center for
Atmospheric Research, Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics
(Austria), NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, and the
University of Florida. GWIC is one of the leading conferences on
climate change,
and is unique in its interdisciplinary approach. The conference will begin with
the roundtable discussion on extreme ocean events and climate
change and will
include poster sessions, breakout sessions on the following topics:

About Global Warming International Center (GWIC):
Global Warming International Center (GWIC) is a non-profit organization of
scientists, policy makers, and scholars committed to driving scientific research
and innovative policy development on climate change science. With members in
more than 145 countries, the GWIC sponsors unbiased research supporting the
understanding and mitigation of global warming.
Founded in 1989 in Chicago, GWIC takes an interdisciplinary approach to
evaluating climate impacts across a range of areas:
Economics of Global Warming Mitigation
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Air Pollution
International Law and Global Warming
Extreme Events Index
El Niño and North Atlantic Oscillation
Human Health and Global Warming
Strengthening Improvements in Energy Efficiency
Strengthening Improvements in Transportation Efficiency
Strengthening Border Crossing Efficiency and Security
Water Resource Management
The Future in Agricultural and Forestry Resources
Ecosystems and Biodiversity
GWIC sponsors the annual Global Warming International Conference and the
Executive Workshop on Industry Technology and Greenhouse Gas Emission. GWIC also
publishes the World Resource Review, a journal providing critical reviews of
scientific and policy activities in environment and development.
