The Climate Reality Project and Solar Energy Myths

The Climate Reality Project put together the e-book, Top Solar Energy Myths, where they debunk some of the most common misconceptions around solar power.

You can learn more about the Climate Reality Project by going to their website here.

Here is a brief overview from the website:

In 2006, Nobel Laureate and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore got the world talking about climate change with the Academy Award-winning film An Inconvenient Truth. It was just the beginning of a climate revolution, and later that year, he founded The Climate Reality Project to take the conversation forward and turn awareness into action.

The Climate Reality Project is a diverse group of passionate individuals who have come together to help solve the greatest challenge of our time. We are cultural leaders, marketers, organizers, scientists, storytellers and more, and we are committed to building a better future together.

“One likely cause,” Texas’ state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon tells Grist, “is the increase in ocean temperatures from the Gulf of Mexico and tropical Atlantic. That determines how much moisture is in the atmosphere.” As temperatures increase, so does rainfall.

But it’s not just the rainfall that is endangering Houston’s citizens — it’s also ecologically irresponsible development.

With many of the same problems as Houston, South Florida is no stranger to flooding woes. Here is an article about Miami written by World Resources Institute. Click on this LINK to download the article.
