[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] Hansen to Australian PM: stop coal plants now: But mention CO2, and suddenly, the Columists in the media rags (mostly owned by Murdoch) begin screeching about our 'way of life', using already-debunked 'facts', weasel-words, and sleight-of-hand to confuse the readers (who, lets be blunt, usually aren't difficult to confuse). It's as though 'metering' CO2 is somehow different to metering all the other pollutants we expell into the environment every day.
[Rashid's Blog] Global Warming: Trees and other plants remove CO2 from the air during photosynthesis, the process they use to produce food. The clearing of land contributes to the buildup of CO2 by reducing the rate at which the gas is removed from the atmosphere or by the decomposition of dead vegetation.
[Climate and energy] News Update: coal money and climate change: Carbon dioxide, the key player in human-triggered warming, remains in the atmosphere for up to 200 years. Stabilization of atmospheric concentrations implies that emissions eventually must fall to virtually zero…
[Uncharted Territory] Target Atmospheric CO2 - Tim’s Translation Service: But, argues Hansen, over the ice age cycle the changes in the albedo (reflectivity) of the planet were secondary or long-term feedbacks, resulting over a longer time period from the warming/cooling caused initially by changes in the Earth’s orbit and amplified by changes in GHG levels. Changes in GHGs are (according to the paper) a fast feedback and only slowly affect the distribution of ice and hence the albedo (reflectivity) of the planet.
[noworldsystem.com] Global Warming Bill Would Inflict New Great Depression: The shocking consequences of the Lieberman-Warner legislation, known as America’s Climate Security Act, were revealed by the Environmental Protection Agency’s economic analysis of the bill this week, which forecast a whopping $2.9 trillion would be shaved off the economy by the year 2050.
[The Michigan Independent] Soil=Climate Change Solution?: Engineers from Newcastle University believe so. The solution lies in the fact that when plants absorb CO2 for Calvin Cycle reactions, excess carbon is pumped out of the .
[Libbysamuel's Weblog] The Low Cost Energy Revolution: THE cost of saving the planet from catastrophic climate change will not beThe SMH has a front page report on the latest IPCC report, noting that the Energy revolution may come at only a small cost.
[Eco Preservation Society Blog] Part 2 Reforestation, Aldebo and the Lawrence Livermore Study: Over the short term (i.e., decades), planting forests is likely to have a cooling effect on the climate, as the trees sequester atmospheric CO2 and reduce the warming effect of the gas. This cooling overcomes the warming attributable to the decreased albedo (again, net of evapotranspiration) that results from the forest growth-but for only so long.
[Rashid's Blog] Global Warming Facts: We know the theory of greenhouse warming is sound, and that CO2 and methane–elements amplified by humankind in recent times–are involved in the process. What’s been argued though is that Earth, a planet known to have been much colder and warmer in the past, goes through temperamental, climatic mood swings from time to time without any human intervention.
[ubergoober.org Blog] Exponential growth in alternative energy has slowed US greenhouse ...: Alternative energy has flourished in the U.S thanks to legislation like the Energy Act of 2003 and President Bush’s 2005 Advanced Energy Initiative. This has allowed the U.S. to lead the industrialized world to combat global warming and slow the growth of GHG through free market solutions that encourage green energy investment that does not penalize the American taxpayer.
