Climate Change Does Double-Whammy To Animals In Seasonal Environments
[Lockergnome] Plant-eating animals in highly seasonal environments, such as the Arctic, are struggling to locate nutritious food as a result of climate change, according to research that will be published in the 21 May 2008 online edition of the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Why Dems and Republicans Are Agraid of Two Words: Peak Oil
[Tribe.net: Political Junkies] When speaking of energy issues, politicians will often use the euphemism of energy security, acknowledging that the US has only three percent of the world's oil reserves and warning that most of the rest of it belongs to unfriendly or unstable governments. While there is truth to this type of statement, it sets up a framework for conflict by creating the perception that there is plenty of oil left but bad people are keeping it away from us.

Climate change
[Director's Blog] Evidence suggests that the cost to the economy of a 15 percent cut in U.S. emissions (not counting any benefits from mitigating climate change) might be half as large if policymakers sold the allowances and used the revenue to lower current taxes on capital that discourage economic activity, rather than giving the allowances away to energy suppliers and energy-intensive firms or using the auction proceeds to reduce the costs that the policy could impose on low-income households. Using the allowances’ value to lower the total economic cost could, however, exacerbate the regressivity of the policy change.
