The Association of Space Explorers (ASE) united astronauts from multiple nations, including Germany, Japan, US, and India, to send a vital message of solidarity, hope, and collaboration to political leaders concerning climate change. This powerful initiative aims to inspire action during a crucial time.

For deeper insight into the Overview Effect and astronaut experiences, explore "OVERVIEW" on YouTube and "PLANETARY," available on iTunes. The video was produced by astronaut Ron Garan and the award-winning Planetary Collective, in association with Daria Lopez-Alegria of Space Bridges.

The film "Arctic Emergency: Scientists Speak On Melting Ice and Global Impacts" features climate scientists discussing the critical state of the Arctic. Rising temperatures are causing sea ice melt and permafrost thaw, destabilizing what's known as "Earth's Air Conditioner."

This rapid Arctic transformation is central to global warming's profound impacts on weather patterns, natural systems, and human life worldwide.

The film features experts such as Jennifer Francis (Rutgers/Woods Hole), Ron Prinn (MIT), Natalia Shakhova (U. Alaska-Fairbanks), Kevin Schaefer (NSIDC), Stephen J. Vavrus (U. Wisconsin-Madison), Nikita Zimov (Russian Academy of Sciences), Jorien Vonk (Utrecht), and Jeff Masters (Weather Underground).

Join us for a special keynote address by Laura Turner Seydel, a Board Member of the Turner Foundation and Board Chair for Mothers and Others for Clean Air.

Jane Mayer discusses a critical issue.

She examines how financial interests have shaped the political discourse surrounding climate change.

Dr. Mark Trexler, a Climate Change Risk expert, authored "Trade Agreements and Climate," a trending story exploring the growing concern over the environmental implications of international trade agreements. Originally published on September 5, 2016, this piece offers a concise review of the topic.

The full story is available via email subscription through the Climatographer website. For deeper exploration within the Climate Web, additional resources can be accessed via this link.

Published on September 5, 2016, "Trending Story - Social Cost of Carbon V143" is an email by climate change risk expert Dr. Mark Trexler.

This issue introduces the social cost of carbon as an environmental concern and explains how to explore it further in the Climate Web. Access Dr. Trexler's subscription emails here. To jump directly to the referenced Climate Web content, use this link.

NASA analyses indicate that two key climate change indicators broke multiple records in the first half of 2016. Each of the first six months of 2016 was the warmest globally since modern temperature records began in 1880.

Furthermore, five of these months recorded the smallest Arctic sea ice extent since consistent satellite records started in 1979. NASA researchers are currently collecting additional data to better understand our changing climate.

Published on Jan 20, 2016, this visualization illustrates Earth’s long-term warming trend from 1880 to 2015, using a rolling five-year average. Orange colors represent temperatures warmer than the 1951-80 baseline, while blues indicate cooler temperatures.

On July 20, 2015, NASA's EPIC camera on NOAA's DSCOVR satellite captured its first image of Earth's sunlit side. From its orbit one million miles away, EPIC has now completed a full year of observations, taking a new picture every two hours. These images reveal our planet's ever-changing clouds, weather systems, and fixed features like deserts, forests, and seas, while also allowing scientists to monitor atmospheric ozone, aerosols, and vegetation properties.

DSCOVR, a partnership between NASA, NOAA, and the U.S. Air Force, primarily maintains real-time solar wind monitoring capabilities. This is crucial for accurate space weather alerts and forecasts. For more information about DSCOVR, visit: http://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/DSCOVR/

Many conservatives believe government's core purpose is to protect rights to life, liberty, and property. If greenhouse gas emissions threaten these fundamental rights, then government has a clear duty to act against such a threat.

Niskanen Center President Jerry Taylor will discuss the conservative and moral imperative for addressing climate change, outlining how effective solutions can be implemented.

Published May 4, 2016, this content provides a 30-second overview of publications essential for building a comprehensive business climate risk library.

The library was compiled by consultant and expert, Mark Trexler.

This video features Dr. Mark Trexler, an expert with over 30 years of regulatory and energy policy experience, discussing scenario planning, climate risk tools for businesses, and the interplay of risk and opportunity. He has advised clients globally on climate change risk management for over 25 years.

Arctic sea ice has reached a record low wintertime maximum extent for the second consecutive year. Scientists from the National Snow and Ice Data Center and NASA reported this finding, noting the extent reached 5.607 million square miles on March 24. This represents the lowest maximum extent recorded in the satellite era.
