Welcome to A Climate Chronology. This project was inspired by my first career managing complex litigation, where creating a chronology of important events was a key strategy. Under development since 2012, this chronology has been a resource for students in my environmental law and climate policy courses. It is a 450 page searchable color-coded record of events in climate science,U.S. policy, and international policy, starting in 1824. It is updated every January. With references and web links to documents, news, and commentary, it is intended as a springboard for research, contemplation, and action.
We invite you to send feedback to sharon.tisher@maine.edu.
