short NASA clip on climate trends in past 10 years

This short clip explains climate trend over the past decade and possible outcomes in the decade to come.

from the NASA website:

Piecing together the temperature puzzle

Each year, scientists at NASA'S Goddard Institute for Space Studies analyze global temperature data. The past year, 2009, tied as the second warmest year since global instrumental temperature records began 130 years ago. Worldwide, the mean temperature was 0.57°C (1.03°F) warmer than the 1951-1980 base period. And January 2000 to December 2009 came out as the warmest decade on record.

Take a look below at NASA's collection of videos, articles and imagery designed to help tell the story of our warming world.

2007 in California. Here is a link to a local news source.

I want to post this article on how logging and hydroelectric
development has caused erosion and landslides in China and Tibet. I
still can't post on the blog tho.

This is a video about the continuing effects on the people of Romania and a small village weighing their positions about the possibility of reopening an industrial plant that caused a cyanide spill so devastating that it is often related to Chernobyl. While I only vaguely remember any mention of this disaster it rocked Europe for a long time leaving many without potable water. The news report in the video shows the lingering fears of citizens for future contamination and contrasts these fears with the opinions of those that would rather risk disaster for employment.
