Welcome to B.U.E.I.
Research Project: The objective of this project is to apply unique Canadian scientific and technical expertise and technology to investigating the history of sea level rise of the Bermuda Seamount over the past 20,000 years. Correlating the geological history of sea level rise with the predicted accelerated rise caused by climate change will provide a more reliable estimate of future sea level rise for Bermuda. This will, in turn, yield an improved calibration curve for Eastern Canada.

kidsgcci wiki / The Case for a Sustainable Climate Policy
I am convinced that as people begin to see the limited performance of existing approaches to emissions reductions, and as the toll of climate-related disasters grows due to ever-increasing vulnerabilities, there will be a shift to a more short-term-focused approach to climate mitigation and adaptation.

Hurricanes and Global Warming So I am going to stand pat with our conclusions first presented in 2005: [T]here are good reasons to expect that any conclusive connection between global warming and hurricanes or their impacts will not be made in the near term. That is where things stand on this subject at the close of 2007.

Climate Program Office (CPO) Home Page - Page:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have established that "Environmental literacy" is integral to NOAA's mission. It has a central role in its strategic plan by recognizing that "all of NOAA's long-term goals ultimately depend on the public's capacity to understand and react to Earth system science and ecosystem conditions." NOAA's Climate Program Office Education and Outreach team are developing the climate part of NOAA's environmental literacy priority through a partnership with NOAA's Office of Education, outside agencies and organizations. The Climate program office is beginning the process of developing the climate literacy essential principles and fundamental concepts framework.

Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation
Understanding what climate change means for Canada requires addressing potential impacts and how we, as a country, can best adapt. Adaptation is a critical response to climate change, which is complementary to mitigation. Adaptation will reduce our vulnerability to climate change and allow us to take advantage of potential opportunities.
