Starting at Zero

NPR and National Geographic have teamed up to create Climate Connections, a year-long program focused on Earth's rising temperature. The round-the-world reporting project launched this morning on NPR from Greenwich, England -- zero degrees longitude. The prime meridian. The program promises to offer a good, 'everything you need to know about warming' approach to the subject, starting with a very short dissertation/animation on carbon atoms -- the "duct tape of life."
