BOSTON, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 23, 2007 -- Ewire -- Responding to the growing public
interest in global warming, The Christian Science Monitor has launched a
new long-term initiative to focus greater coverage on the causes and
effects of global warming and its impact on climate change. This coverage
will appear both in the Monitor's daily newspaper and online at
www.csmonitor.com/globalwarming/.
The Monitor intends to be a key source for all wishing to better understand
global warming and will offer original content on climate change, resources
for understanding the latest scientific research on the topic, and
suggestions on how individuals can alter their habits to prevent global
warming and greenhouse effect.
"Our website, in particular, improves the way that the Monitor can help
readers understand a subject that for many years has been a source of
confusion and contention, but is now recognized as an issue that demands
attention from everyone," said Monitor Editor Richard Bergenheim when
speaking about the Monitor's commitment to global warming coverage. "We
want to help people understand what steps can be taken to mitigate effects
of global warming and how we can adapt to climate change."
"This new approach to covering topics such as global warming is just the
first in what we hope will be a series of in-depth reports on issues that
affect us all as global citizens," added Monitor Managing Publisher
Jonathan Wells.
As part of its global warming coverage, the Monitor has launched new series
on adaptation that examines how people are coping with climate changes that
have already altered how people live.
Every Thursday, the Monitor publishes in print and online a Weekly Media
Survey, a synopsis of global warming-related issues and events.
In addition to offering links to all its coverage of global warming, the
Monitor's global warming website, www.csmonitor.com/globalwarming, will
expand in the coming weeks to offer slide shows, audio and video reports,
charts, graphs, interactive options, and a myriad of links to global
warming resources.
Visitors to the Monitor's website can sign up for a free weekly
e-newsletter on the environment.
Other topics addressed will include: causes of global warming; effects of
global warming; global warming myths; global warming prevention; greenhouse
effect; greenhouse gases; an inconvenient truth; pollution; and reports
such as the recent UN IPCC report on climate change.
