Trend Monitor 2.0


Free Monthly Climate Change Report

Posted in Climate change, Environment, Global warming by trendmonitor2 on June 2, 2007

More and more people see climate change as the most important issue in the world. Yet, most people have difficulty in comprehending the full picture of the weather conditions which they and their children are liable to experience, what they should do to adapt, and what, if anything, is being done to prevent it.
Trend Monitor has been in the business of refining the key points from the most knowledgeable sources since 1986 working for major corporations and government agencies. Now Trend Monitor 2.0 intends to devote its expertise to help develop a more evolved collective intelligence based on simple, non-technical, social knowledge sharing practices.
The free monthly Climate Change Report is offered as a useful contribution summarising the latest public knowledge, as an example of what Trend Monitor does, and as a further small step towards the fully comprehensive World Brain envisaged by H. G. Wells in the 1930s.
The report and its sources have been compiled using the ground-breaking Clipmarks web clipping platform to record key quotes and links back to the original sources.
This is the work of one person only, so the number of clips is relatively few. Nevertheless, by using even this simple classification as a focus, it should already be already possible to perceive a higher level story and to see a wider perspective.
Imagine if a team of clippers and writers went to work to look for and synthesise all the best sources.
Let us know in the comments if you want to help with source monitoring and clipping, analysis and writing. As can be seen from the choice bar, there are other environmental topics to be monitored, too. Warning: there is some discipline involved. The results are very rewarding, if sometimes very alarming.
