Temperature Record of the Week
This issue's Temperature Record of the Week is from Fayette, IA. During the period of most significant greenhouse gas buildup over the past century, i.e., 1930 and onward, Fayette's mean annual temperature has cooled by 1.74 degrees Fahrenheit. Not much global warming here!

Greenhouse Gas Reporting
Since 2001, our organization has provided companies with professional assistance in filing greenhouse gas (GHG) reports with the U.S. Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program (Section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992). We hope that others of you will also turn to our Center for your GHG reporting needs. Together, we can help you prepare an accurate, complete, consistent, relevant and transparent accounting of your emission and sequestration activities.

Tell Your Friends!
When was the last time you referred someone to the Center's website? We challenge you to introduce two new people to CO2 Science each week. More...
