The Banker 2 – Robin Hood Tax

OxfamGreatBritain

Uploaded on Apr 6, 2010

Be a Robin Hoodie. Sir Ben Kingsley, Noel Clarke (Kidulthood, Dr Who), Tom Felton (Harry Potter) Joe Dempsie (Skins), Blake Harrison (The Inbetweeners) and Jaime Winstone (Kidulthood) star in new campaign film for the Robin Hood Tax.

Robin Hood Tax is a tiny tax on bankers that would raise billions to tackle poverty and climate change, at home and abroad.

If governments took a tiny tax of 0.05% from international bankers transactions, it could generate hundreds of billions of pounds every year that could stop cuts in crucial public services at home in UK, and help fight global poverty and climate change.

Oxfam is supporting the Robin Hood Tax campaign as part of a coalition of over 50 charities.

Watch Bill Nighy explain this ‘sweet, little idea.’

The Most Beautiful Image of Earth – how particles move and affect climate

NASAexplore

Published on Nov 16, 2012

Paint by Particle

Satellites, balloon-borne instruments and ground-based devices make 30 million observations of the atmosphere each day. Yet these measurements still give an incomplete picture of the complex interactions within Earth’s atmosphere. Enter climate models. Through mathematical experiments, modelers can move Earth forward or backward in time to create a dynamic portrait of the planet. NASA Goddard’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office recently ran a simulation of the atmosphere that captured how winds whip aerosols around the world. Such simulations allow scientists to better understand how these tiny particulates travel in the atmosphere and influence weather and climate. In this visualization, covering August 2006 to April 2007, watch as dust and sea salt swirl inside cyclones, carbon bursts from fires, sulfate streams from volcanoes—and see how these aerosols paint the modeled world.

This toddler and two women were airlifted to safety from their flooded car

The Australian state of Queensland is on alert for flooding in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Oswald.

Hundreds of people have been evacuated as heavy rain continued to fall on Sunday, with the towns of Gladstone and Bundaberg preparing for the possibility of major floods.

The bad weather is forecast to move towards the state capital, Brisbane, and the state of New South Wales.

Two years ago, flooding in Queensland left 35 people dead.

On Sunday, Australian media reported that authorities had pulled the body of an elderly man from the water at Burnett Heads, north-east of Bundaberg.

Two other people were reported missing, including a man who disappeared after trying to cross a creek in Gympie, north of Brisbane. …(more).

Uploaded on Feb 3, 2012

Climatologist Michael Mann of Penn State University speaks about scientific findings relating to global warming in this University of Virginia EnviroDay appearance. His talk, titled “The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches From the Front Lines,” shows how his findings have brought political heat from some Virginia and national politicians. Mann continues his research and outlines its scientific soundness during this packed public presentation. Prior to his move to Penn State in 2005, Mann served as a professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia.
