  • At White House: 14 senators discuss climate-energy legislation

    March 9, 2010


    Christian Science Monitor: The fate of President Obama's plan to shift America toward renewable energy and away from fossil fuels may depend on the outcome of a crucial White House meeting Tuesday with 14 key senators, many from coal- and oil-producing states, who have long opposed curbs on carbon emissions. Mr. Obama – often criticized for being too hands off on complex and controversial climate-energy legislation after it became stalled in the Senate last year – now appears to be making a full-court press to ...


     

  • Global warming skepticism rising in the GOP

    March 10, 2010


    LA Times: It wasn't long ago that Marco Rubio and Tim Pawlenty -- two rising Republican stars -- supported legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions. But in recent weeks, both have begun to express doubts about whether cars, factories and power plants have anything to do with global warming. The shift by Rubio and Pawlenty -- as well as other prominent Republicans -- reflects the rising power of climate change skeptics in the GOP, where global warming is becoming a litmus test for ...


     

  • UN to review errors made by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

    March 10, 2010


    Times (UK): The United Nations is to announce an independent review of errors made by its climate change advisory body in an attempt to restore its credibility. A team of the world's leading scientists will investigate the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and ask why its supposedly rigorous procedures failed to detect at least three serious overstatements of the risk from global warming. The review will be overseen by the InterAcademy Council, whose members are drawn from ...


     

  • Fish Fry: How Will a Warming World Impact U.S. Trout Populations?

    March 4, 2010


    Scientific American: Dear EarthTalk: A fisherman friend of mine told me that trout populations in the interior West of the U.S. are already shrinking due to global warming. Is this true? And what is the long term prognosis for the trout? --Jon Klein, Portsmouth, N.H. Most scientists agree that the effects of global warming are starting to show up all around the world in many forms. Throughout America's Rocky Mountain West, rivers and streams are getting hotter and drier, presenting new challenges ...

  • Chanel does climate change, with real icebergs

    March 9, 2010


    Associated Press: Models in head-to-toe yeti suits picked their way around towering but quickly melting icebergs, sloshing through a deep puddle of Arctic melt in their shaggy fake fur. Call it climate change chic, Chanel style. Designer Karl Lagerfeld looked Tuesday to global warming, turning the melting of the polar ice caps into fodder for Chanel's fall-winter 2010-11 ready-to-wear look. Because, after all, what use is the threat of a catastrophe of global proportions if not to fuel fashion ...


     

  • United Kingdom: Hedegaard sets out strategy for global climate talks

    March 9, 2010


    European Voice: Connie Hedegaard, the European commissioner for climate action, set out a strategy to restore momentum to international talks on climate change today, even though she admitted the chances of getting a global deal agreed by the end of this year were slim. International talks on a new global agreement to tackle climate change re-start next month in Bonn and build up to a major United Nations conference in Cancún, Mexico at the end of the year. Speaking to the European Parliament ...

  • U.S. "cap and trade" rebranded "pollution reduction"

    March 9, 2010


    Reuters: Like a savvy Madison Avenue advertising team, senators pushing climate-control legislation have decided to scrap the name "cap and trade" and rebrand their product as "pollution reduction targets." A clunky and difficult term to define for laymen and some politicians, "cap and trade" had become dirty words on Capitol Hill in recent months. Republicans called the plan nothing more than "cap and tax" and one influential senator took great pains last week to declare cap and trade ...


     

  • Lieberman Says Climate-Change Proposal Will Be Ready This Month

    March 9, 2010


    Bloomberg: Senator Joseph Lieberman said lawmakers plan to complete a draft of climate-change legislation this month before taking an Easter break, as Republicans insisted the measure should be narrower than a House-passed bill. Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, is working with Democrat John Kerry of Massachusetts and Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina to craft compromise legislation after proposals for a broad emissions-trading program drew criticism from both political ...
