[Change.org's Sustainable Food Blog] Would Legalizing Pot Help the Environment? | Sustainable Food ...: Growers seek these off-the-beaten-path locations, where they need to rely on things like diesel generators and illegal pesticides. If growers could produce pot out in the open on organic farms, just think about all the carbon emissions and pollution that could be prevented.

[Energy/Enviro Experts] Should Congress Defang EPA And The States? - Energy & Environment ...: Flowing from this plain language on foreign pollution is the EPA’s equally clear ability to create a national greenhouse pollution standard that represents not only the appropriate United States share of overall global levels, but also each individual state’s fair apportionment. Using greenhouse gas inventories already completed or underway in 47 states, as well as the EPA’s recently promulgated greenhouse pollutant reporting rule, each state’s proportional contribution to the necessary national reduction can be soon readily assessed.

[Minnesota Independent: News. Politics. Media.] Amid GOP opposition, even a limited climate bill is an uphill ...: “On the complex and difficult question of curbing greenhouse gas emissions, there is no consensus at this time,” Snowe said. “From my perspective, I’ve long asserted that placing a price on carbon will send the appropriate signals to entrepreneurs that would unleash the innovation to position America as a global clean energy industry leader.

Good luck ... | StarTribune.com: in the New York Times, an e-reader requires the extraction of 33 pounds of minerals, including exotic metals from oppressed and war-torn countries. Manufacturing an e-reader and batteries requires some 79 gallons of water, uses an equivalent 100 kilowatt hours of fossil fuel and produces 66 pounds of carbon dioxide.

[WolfeNotes.com] Christie Earth Week Day 2: Back Door Man: “Christie’s did not discuss his cuts of $158 million from the Clean Energy Fund, which is funded by utility customers for programs that reduce greenhouse gases, and from other funds designated to save energy. He declined to take questions from reporters, leaving immediately after his speech via a back door.”

[Industry News] Senate Vote on EPA Regulation Splits Democrats Before Cap-and ...: The regulations are a “back-door national energy tax” that would deal “a devastating blow to an economy that’s already in rough shape,” said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. ”˜A Big Gift’ Democrats who opposed the motion said it ignored climate- change science and would shield energy firms, especially oil companies, from environmental controls.

[Depleted Cranium] Depleted Cranium » Blog Archive » Why I refuse to consider wood ...: Many seem to think that they’re done something great for the environment by burning wood or some other type of biomass. Aside from the particulate pollution that it creates and the potentially hazardous ash, the act of burning wood, it is said, simply releases the CO2 back into the air that the tree had absorbed during its life.   It is also claimed that if another tree is planted to replace the one that was cut down for fuel, the carbon is re-absorbed and the whole thing results in no net increase in CO2.   Furthermore, it is stated that the carbon would simply return to the atmosphere when the tree dies anyway, because it would decay, producing carbon dioxide and methane, which is even more potent a greenhouse gas and which eventually breaks down to CO2.

[Fractional Jet Ownership Review] OBAMA CONSIDERS CHEMTRAILS | Fractional Jet Ownership Review: David Travis could have been referring to chemtrails when this contrails scientist said, “If you fiddle with the balance of the planet, the radiative balance of the planet, you affect all sorts of circulation patterns like monsoons, which would have horrible effects on people. So it would be extremely difficult, in fact impossible, to cancel out the greenhouse effect just by carrying on pumping out particles, even if it wasn’t for the fact that particles are damaging for human health.

[WWF Climate Blog] National Climate Adaptation Summit held in Washington from 25-27 ...: On the final day, the international keynote address was presented by Juan Pablo Bonilla, Chief of the Sustainable Energy and Climate Change Unit at the Inter-American Development Bank. Bonilla said Latin America and the Caribbean are "very vulnerable"

[Energy/Enviro Experts] Should Congress Stop EPA? - Energy & Environment Experts: We’ve seen in the most recent Pew survey that climate change still remains dead last in the public’s consciousness, and while energy has dropped down the list, it’s still a much more important concern to the American public. There’s an opportunity here to get off the climate change merry-go-round with energy and climate legislation that focuses on efficiency, developing advanced new technologies, commercializing existing technologies, and cutting the “green tape”

[ClimateChangeWater Blog] Guest Blog: US National Adaptation Summit results: "While nations negotiate at international conferences about future global commitments to reduce greenhouse gases, and while Congress talks but continues to delay adoption of a strong greenhouse gas reduction program for the country, we're already seeing the effects of the pollution we put into the atmosphere since the start of the industrial revolution.  That's why we have to 

[Thought Leader] Thought Leader » Bert Olivier » Lovelock's 'final warning': Max Keiser thinks (and says) it was a back-dated transaction. Off the point though; if we need to act and our governments refuse to act then they are unfit and then revolution is required. Capitalism has failed. ...... @X Cepting: Free range / grass-finished meat and dairy are just as unsustainable as CAFO's (http://www.care2.com/causes/environment/blog/free-range-is-not-the-answer/).

[Energy/Enviro Experts] How Can The U.S. Wean Itself Off Oil? - Energy & Environment Experts: The amount of money the U.S. has invested in clean energy over the past five years (not to mention decades) pales in comparison to the massive subsidies (in the trillions overall) we continue to give fossil fuels. If, as predicted, the Kerry-Lieberman led effort gives multiple billions in dollars of hand outs to the oil, coal and nuclear industries while at the same time giving only a fraction of that to solar, wind and geothermal, then that proposed legislation is dead in the water.
