A great interactive feature that can be followed as one narrative or viewed piece by piece. Comprehensive, thoroughly researched and presented in a format easily accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Interesting is how it appeals to a range of our sensibilities -- cultural, political, religious and more.

The shear volume of information alone in this crisis guide is noteworthy. But what makes it such a remarkable resource is how you can learn from it in a straight forward narrative style with chapters, or jump around to the issues/angles you're particularly interested in exploring. Wonderful use of multimedia technology on the web.

This is the fourth in CFR's Crisis Guide series, and in my opinion, it's the best. The combination of depth, interactivity, and multimedia is pretty unparalleled.

As a presentation it was well done, as journalism it missed the mark, unless its being viewed as strictly an opinion or presentation to argue one side only. The method of the presentation was very good though. The failure I think was this presentation pushed a need for cures on a subject which has a significant degree of a solution for those concerned in the works and yet never touched on nor was an alternate view for the issue given.

It isn't quality. We know what the problem is, but no one wants to act. Journalists don't apear to want to know. Here is the first para of my letter to Ban Ki-moon. It elicited no respose. "I write to ask for your personal support for certain scientific work I have done showing conclusively that there is an economical and low cost way to not only control but to reverse the existing climate change, and to ask for your assistance to bring this work before the public."

This isn't journalism. It is a propaganda movie that presents a one-sided view. There is no political realism. No one, much less developing countries, is going to cut emissions of CO2 to any extent. The videos are pure propaganda- Polar bears - steam made to look like smoke - people wearing masks - almost every image is false. It is also incredibly boring and slow to get to any point. I can't imagine having the patience to watch the whole thing.

This was very interactive and educational. It had many sources that were knowledgeable and trustworthy. My only qualm was that it was not so balanced because it was done by an organization to raise awareness for global warming. I wish it would have had a more trustworthy source to talk about how global warming is caused because the facts that were presented did not match up with what we are learning in my geology class.

I like the interactive nature of this article.

Missing are the consequences of eco policies. Food to fuel policies put 100 million more into starvation, which increases terrorist recruitment. Ethanol increases ozone pollution. Growing crops for biofuel increases N2O emissions (a signficant GWG), ocean kill zones, and uses significant water aquifer resources. Ethanol destroys gas powered equipment fuel systems, necessitating the buying of new equipment - from China. Biodiesel damages fuel system. Meanwhile environmentalists block wave, wind, and nuclear energy projects. Environmentalists prevent us from storing spent nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain, and instead we have to store it in 2000 cooling ponds around the US - smart! Congress has blocked the US from using its ... More »

The way this multimedia package is presented is organized and easy to use (and pleasant to look at). This is heavily produced with slide-shows and interviews with experts and CFR senior fellows. Lots of information. As Laurie Garret, a senior fellow for public health at CFR, puts it, "the topic [global warming] is so complicated." I think this is true - the topic is so complicated that you have to tell one story. This is a thousand stories because Global Warming will affect every walk of life and level of industry. I think Al Gore's movie was better - it was clearer. And the CFR's Crisis Guide: Climate Change is less boring than Inconvenient Truth.

I thought the page was well organized and laid out. The information was informative all around and well researched.
