Are you as tired as we are of scientists, politicians, educators all debating the issue of "climate change" and "global warming" basing their theories literally on scraps of available historic data?
Are you as tired as we are of new expensive climate observation stations being designed and installed so that in 100 years we might have a clue as to the extent and severity of climate change?
Let's spend a fraction of that anticipated funding for new systems and go back 100, 200, 300 years and rescue and digitize environmental data that already exist. Hundreds of millions of old weather observations, dating back to the 1500s lie rotting on deterioriating paper throughout the world.
We've already rescued and digitized over one million of these historic weather observations hundreds of years old from all over the globe. These observations are providing the basis for climate change studies NOW, not in a hundred years.
If you have the passion to enlighten people to the need to act now in preserving these data before they are gone forever...
If you have the perseverence to burrow through public and government apathy to convince them that data rescue is well worth their interest, and their financial support...
If you have the talent to persuade strangers that supporting IEDRO's work will do more to aleviate human death and suffering than ANY OTHER HUMAN ENDEAVOR...
we'd like to hear from you!

Mission Statement
Our Mission is to find, rescue, and digitize all historical environmental data and to make those data available to the world. We assist the scientific and educational communities of mainly developing countries locate, rescue and digitize all environmental data currently at risk on perishable media and to make those digitized data freely and openly available to the world scientific and educational communities before those data are gone forever.
Description
The International Environmental Data Rescue Organization, IEDRO, is a non-profit organization that assists the scientific and educational communities of mainly developing countries to locate, rescue and digitize all their environmental data currently at risk on perishable media and to make those digitized data freely and openly available to the world scientific and educational communities before those data are lost forever.
After the US Government ceased its support to rescue and digitize these critical historic weather records, IEDRO continued the scientifically critical work as a separate non-profit endeavor using private funds mainly from charitable foundations and individuals helping us gather data to give researchers a better understanding of climate change and global warming, to help prevent starvation, improve flood and mud slide forecasts, to forecast the spread of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and yellow fever.
Our activities include the discovery, rescue and digitization of foreign environmental data, mainly meteorological (weather) observations, now residing on paper, microfilm and microfiche and magnetic tapes.
We support scientific research and operations in meteorology, hydrology, climatology with additional support to the fields of agriculture, ornithology, oceanography, disease control, rural development, transportation, construction, disaster preparedness and especially climate change and global warming throughout the world.
