Almost Back!
We are now almost fully recovered from the terrorist-like Denial of Service Attack that our website sustained a couple months ago. The only item that remains to be fixed is the Data section that plots temperature and precipitation values. This feature should be back online shortly.  Thank you for your patience!

Carbon Dioxide and the "Climate Crisis" - Reality or Illusion?: Our new DVD documentary contrasting the fantasy world of Al Gore and James Hansen with the factual findings of real-world science is now available in NTSC or PAL format. For online ordering, click here for NTSC format or click here for PAL format. Unsure of which format you need? Run a keyword search on NTSC or PAL in a search engine. If you are in the United States, the format is NTSC. Our order system will also allow you to send in your payment by mail.

Greenhouse Gas Reporting
Since 2001, our organization has provided companies with professional assistance in filing greenhouse gas (GHG) reports with the U.S. Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program (Section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992). We hope that others of you will also turn to our Center for your GHG reporting needs. Together, we can help you prepare an accurate, complete, consistent, relevant and transparent accounting of your emission and sequestration activities.

Tell Your Friends!
When was the last time you referred someone to the Center's website? We challenge you to introduce two new people to CO2 Science each week. More...
