Japan Tsunami, Before & After Images

Tsunami off Japan Before & After Images

Tsunami off Japan
OK guys, by this time I think most have heard about the devastating tsunami and earthquake that has centered just off the coast of Japan. And now, most of the Pacific is on watch.

Here are some of the best projected models I've found, thanks to NOAA weather service. Check out the angles... notice that Hawaii is blocking part of central California, and Chile might be in for the worst. I hope not. I hope the American government is doing what they can for Japan.

Press Release - WWF’s View on Key Issues

Blog - NationalJournal

Climate change is a global problem which requires a global solution. While all actions to reduce global warming pollution are important, the greatest opportunity to avoid the worst impacts of climate change is for the global community to work together to develop solutions to overcome this crisis. 

Rising seawater temperatures are linked to the deaths of coral reefs around the world, including off the coast of Mexico. Sometimes called "rainforests of the sea," coral reefs are home to hundreds of species of fish and serve as sanctuaries for animals like the mammoth whale shark and the endangered salt water crocodile.

Throughout the year, governments send delegations to international negotiations to work on agreements to limit carbon pollution and help respond to the threat that climate change already poses to people, ecosystems and wildlife everywhere. This includes events such as United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meetings, G20 Summits, and Major Economy Forums, among others. 

World Wildlife Fund participates at these events as an observer. One of WWF's roles is to provide technical expertise to government officials and negotiators ahead of and during the negotiations. Just as important, WWF plays a watchdog role, informing reporters and the public about the progress and setbacks at the negotiations and holding representatives accountable for their actions (or inaction). All of our efforts are focused on reaching agreements that protect people, ecosystems and wildlife from climate impacts like fires, droughts, floods and warmer seawater temperatures.

Climate Scoreboard

From November 29 - December 12, representatives from 192 countries will gather in Cancun, Mexico for a UNFCCC climate summit known as the 16^th Conference of the Parties (COP16) in an effort to reach agreement on ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and prepare our world for the impacts of climate change. Before and during the negotiations in Cancun, WWF is urging negotiators to make substantial progress on issues such as reducing deforestation and biodiversity loss, preparing habitats and people for climate impacts, and promoting clean energy development (see our COP16 Position Paper).   WWF also is asking for the United States government to abide by the modest commitments it made last year to reduce carbon pollution and help developing countries implement clean energy technologies and prepare for impacts like lower crop yields, stronger storms and dangerous flooding
