INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL WITHOUT FLYING
Flying has lost its glamour. Many of us now want a more rewarding, low-stress alternative to flying, which brings you closer to the world you live in and reduces your contribution to climate change. It's time to rediscover real travel by train or ship, where the journey itself is an adventure. This site explains how to travel comfortably & affordably by train or ferry where you might think that air was now the only option

SKEPTICAL SCIENCE
EXPLAINING THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE & CHALLENGING THE MYTHS
Scientific skepticism is healthy. Scientists should always challenge themselves to improve their understanding. Yet this isn't what happens with climate change denial. Skeptics vigorously criticise any evidence that supports man-made global warming and yet embrace any argument, op-ed, blog or study that purports to refute global warming. This website gets skeptical about global warming skepticism. Do their arguments have any scientific basis? What does the peer reviewed scientific literature say?
