Posted on April 16, 2008 in What is global warming

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. The reason: high oil and gas prices. The EU ETS is dominated by power utilities, which must hold EUA permits for every ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted when burning fuel to generate power. 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." Roger Revelle, in a letter to then Congressman Jim Bates, July 14, 1988 Among the not-very-credible denials of climate change risk, one of Lawrence Solomon's most offensive is his attack on the memory and work of Dr. Roger Revelle.

Staying On Task with Global Warming

Posted on April 16, 2008 in Climate changes

The Fox News Channel is determined to play as still controversial an issue that much of industry, not to mention the public, not to mention Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch, has decided is not controversial. Al Gore has won fair and square, but since Fox has no use for Gore, that's easily discounted. If Fox really wants to play the opposition, though, the network has to be sure everyone stays on task. And unfortunately, that's becoming difficult, a sign that the opposition has become increasingl America's Most Endangered Rivers of 2008 Rivers flow over spillways, through blood colored gills, over rocks slathered with life.

Are Global Warming Models Accurately Predicting Our Future?

Posted on April 09, 2008 in Climate changes

There are a lot of competing theories out there when it comes to climate change. It seems that for every expert opinion there is an opposite opinion, and for every piece of evidence there are contrary views. Politicians, scientists and environmentalists alike can’t seem to agree on all of the facts... Graham: McCain Has Done More On Global Warming Than Gore Lindsey Graham has officially gone insane. He says that John McCain has done more than Al Gore on warming. Never mind that Gore facilitated the first hearings on climate change in the late '70s, never mind that Gore was a prime mover in facilitating American involvement in the Kyoto Treaties, or that Al Gore won a Nobel Prize for his work.
