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 Renowned Scientist Who Got Al Gore Started "My own personal belief is that we should wait another 10 or 20 years to really be convinced that the greenhouse effect is going to be important for human beings, in both positive and negative ways."

This is a joke, right? According an anonymous White House official, President Bush is urging a halt to CO2 emission growth by 2025. Notwithstanding the facts that a) halting emissions increase by 2025 won't do the job, and b) he's waited until he's got nine months left in office to propose anything on global warming, this is one of the funniest articles I've read all year. I mean, how on earth could the reporter write this line, "The official also confirmed that Bush would not detail specific Cheetahs, pumas and jaguars of Europe Cheetahs, pumas and jaguars of Europe (April 16th, 2008) Found on Tretrapod Zoology, a series of articles about prehistoric felines among which one can find big cats like lions, pumas, jaguars, cougars, cheetahs or leopards on continents where they totally disappeared later.
