From the New Yorker's online archives, an incredibly important 3-part piece with online only Q&A Elizabeth Kolbert did on global warming last April. She outlines the basic scientific process, discusses different theories of how global warming cycles will play out, why we're less aware of the warming effected changes we're already seeing, and places like Alaska where the changes are already profoundly visible.

Global warming continues: ice melts, polar bears can't find food, wander into villages, and raise conflict with humans. They're smart.

Comedians raise awareness about global warming.
