While George Bush attempts to distract the U.S. from doing anything substantive on climate change, an interesting thing is happening in Europe -- the price of carbon emission permits [EUAs] has hit a ten-month high.

Most fossil fuel generators burn either coal or gas. When the price of gas rises, it mak The Deniers?

The world’s oldest recorded tree is a 9,550 year old spruce in the Dalarna province of Sweden. The spruce tree has shown to be a tenacious survivor that has endured by growing between erect trees and smaller bushes in pace with the dramatic climate changes over time. For many years the spruce tree has been regarded as a relative newcomer in the Swedish mountain region. “Our results have shown the complete opposite, that the spruce is one of the oldest known trees in the mountain range,” says Global Warming:Experts’ Opinions vs Scientific Forecasts Sept. 18, 1924 MacMillan Reports Signs of New Ice Age March 27, 1933 America in Longest Warm Spell Since 1776 May 21, 1974 Scientists Ponder Why World’s Climate Is Changing: A Major Cooling Widely Considered to be Inevitable

Across the world a crisis is unfolding at alarming speed. Climate change, China's increasing consumption and the dash for biofuels are causing food shortages and rocketing prices - sparking riots in cities from the Caribbean to the Far East. Biofuels: a blueprint for the future? Our cars and other forms of transport are the third-largest source of carbon dioxide emissions in the UK and the only one likely to have increased by 2020. Any serious attempt to tackle climate change requires us to dramatically step up our efforts to reduce these emissions.
