The film "Arctic Emergency: Scientists Speak On Melting Ice and Global Impacts" by Max Wilbert features climate scientists discussing the critical state of the Arctic in their own words.
Rising Arctic temperatures are causing sea ice to melt and permafrost to thaw, destabilizing a system vital to global climate, often called "Earth's Air Conditioner." This directly contributes to global warming, impacting weather patterns, natural systems, and human life worldwide, with the Arctic at the center of these profound changes.
Published on August 1, 2014, the film includes insights from leading experts such as Jennifer Francis (Rutgers University), Ron Prinn (MIT), Natalia Shakhova (University of Alaska-Fairbanks), Kevin Schaefer (National Snow and Ice Data Center), and others from prominent research institutions.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Baselining 101: Demystifying Scope 1, 2 & 3 Emissions Measurement On April 7, 2021, members of the US & Canada B Corp Climate Collective (BCCC) Climate Action Group’s and B Lab presented an interactive webinar with an overview of a step-by-step process that a
On April 7, 2021, members of the US & Canada B Corp Climate Collective (BCCC) Climate Action Group’s and B Lab presented an interactive webinar with an overview of a step-by-step process that a company can take to begin measuring its carbon footprint and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We’ll also discuss how and why companies should center their climate action in Climate Justice, and how this work intersects with efforts toward Net Zero.
This webinar is especially valuable to those who are involved in greenhouse gas emissions or carbon footprint measurement for their companies.
Presenters including:
Mike McGrory, B Lab Standards Trust
Kim Coupounas, B Lab
Jennifer Cooper, Native Energy

Trash is cash: turning plant residues into valued product | Kevin Kung | TEDxSwitzerFoundation More than 4 billion tons/year of plant-based crop and forest residues (e.g. biomass) are being burned. Some of this burning contributes to catastrophic wildfires. And yet, almost all these burned
More than 4 billion tons/year of plant-based crop and forest residues (e.g. biomass) are being burned. Some of this burning contributes to catastrophic wildfires. And yet, almost all these burned residues would otherwise have intrinsic economic values for conversion into fuels or chemicals. In this talk, I explore the apparent paradox between biomass disposal and utilization. I highlight the newest efforts in turning trash into cash, which could make biomass residue conversion more attractive economically, at the same time reducing the environmental and economic damages of biomass burning. Kevin Kung is currently the CTO of a biomass technology start-up Takachar, as well as a Cyclotron Road entrepreneurial fellow collaborating with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He earned his Ph.D. from MIT, focusing on biofuels and renewable energy, and specializes in biomass and energy conversion systems, engineering design in resource-constrained settings, and waste-sector innovation. In 2015, he co-founded Safi Organics, a biochar fertilizer company that has grown to be financially profitable today, serving more than 3,500 farmers. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Join us for Big Tent Climate Talks, a new, engaging, monthly conversation that spotlights leaders in the climate community outside of CCL doing important work in building coalitions around effective climate solutions. At CCL, we know solving climate change requires a variety of policies and perspectives. That's why we do this work under a big tent that includes folks from the right, the left, and every spot in between. In our Big Tent Climate Talks, we'll talk to a wide variety of climate leaders outside of CCL to learn more about how we can all work better together.
