And update on the wind power industry’s record-breaking year that ground to a halt. And related solar news. Three reports: The long-term effects of climate change; a cost analysis of combating climate change; and decreasing public concern about climate change. Information about the "Running On Empty" exhibit curated by Bart King at the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art.
