Over on the top of the right-side menu bar are the FM Reference Pages. There is a new one on Science, Nature, and Geopolitics, with information about global warming — more generally, about climate change. Here is what you will see today. New material is added as discovered. Please suggest links by posting them in the comments. Here is a copy of the current page.
