Russia Poised to Ratify Worldwide Global Warming Treaty
"The world's fight against climate change got a major boost when the Russian government announced it will move forward on ratification of the long stalled Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change. Why is this critical? Because the Kyoto treaty requires ratification by one more major country – like Russia -- before it can take affect... the United States has rejected the Kyoto Protocol... " according to take action!
...if you so desire, you can read the kyoto protocol on climate change at:
http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/convkp/kpeng.html
...and for basic information on global warming and climate change from a liberal source that honestly believes that it is happening, and can even happen abruptly, go to:
http://www.nrdc.org/globalWarming/f101.asp
...and to read an entire book on the abrupt climate change research, go to:
http://www.nap.edu/books/0309074347/html/
...and for information from one of the scientists who was directly involved in 2001 research on global warming, read a rebuttal of the press at:
http://opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=95000606
and for even more information and from a decidedly different source committed to energy development and conservation as well, go to:

i believe americans should examine all sides of a debate... thanks to my dad for the take action information...

A quote from the preface on this report:
"Large, abrupt climate changes have repeatedly affected much or all of the earth, locally reaching as much as 10°C change in 10 years. Available evidence suggests that abrupt climate changes are not only possible but likely in the future, potentially with large impacts on ecosystems and societies.
This report is an attempt to describe what is known about abrupt climate changes and their impacts, based on paleoclimate proxies, historical observations, and modeling. The report does not focus on large, abrupt causes—nuclear wars or giant meteorite impacts—but rather on the surprising new findings that abrupt climate change can occur when gradual causes push the earth system across a threshold. Just as the slowly increasing pressure of a finger eventually flips a switch and turns on a light, the slow effects of drifting continents or wobbling orbits or changing atmospheric composition may “switch” the climate to a new state. And, just as a moving hand is more likely than a stationary one to encounter and flip a switch, faster earth-system changes—whether natural or human-caused—are likely to increase the probability of encountering a threshold that triggers a still faster climate shift."
