Geotimes December 2005 Kevin E. Trenberth	A Warming World Climate change is with us; we cannot stop it, although we can slow it down. It behooves us therefore to track how and why the climate is changing.
Geotimes May 2007 Jessica F. Larsen	A Comment on... Volcanoes in a Changing Global Climate It is highly speculative at present to predict how global climate change will transform the science of volcanology. Yet it is important that we begin to anticipate how the impacts of volcanoes will change, as population and precipitation patterns adjust to climate change during the 21st century.
Geotimes August 2007 Carolyn Gramling	No More "Snows of Kilimanjaro"? Mount Kilimanjaro's glaciers have receded dramatically, making the highest point in Africa a high-profile poster child for global warming. Some scientists contend, however, that Kilimanjaro is a poor example, as its glaciers were disappearing before warming set in.
