[G-Online, the best of green -] Copenhagen a failure, green groups say | G-Online, the best of green: Since CO2 is now lighter than air and rising into the atmosphere contributing to global warming (sorry - political correction - climate change) America is soon to declare it a toxic substance.(Wall Street Journal 5/12/2009) Perhaps scientists could be funded to find the cause of this serious change to its molecular mass and save governments thousands of dollars in fighting this global warming by this new approach. We are told that CO2 traps infra-red radiant heat from the earth and consequently raises global temperature.Surely this opacity to the outward radiation from the earth could be used to impede the sun's inward radiation through the CO2 also, thus preventing some of this alarming warming - (+0.64 degree celsius in 150 years!)

[Wednesday-Night] Arctic & Antarctic: Science and technology: LONDON (Reuters) - Global warming will leave the Arctic Ocean ice-free during the summer within 20 years, raising sea levels and harming wildlife such as seals and polar bears, a leading British polar scientist said on Thursday. Peter Wadhams, professor of ocean physics at the University of Cambridge, said much of the melting will take place within a decade, although the winter ice will stay for hundreds of years.

[News] Copenhagen: Barack Obama is right to put pressure on Congress ...: Whereas parasites like Al Gore and Maurice Strong, the people who own the very carbon trading systems they claim will save the earth from CO2 emissions, want to enrich themselves to the tune of billions under a cap and trade scheme where they take a percentage of each transaction, the oil companies want to bypass this completely by simply imposing a direct CO2 tax. The consequence for the taxpayer under either scenario will be exactly the same, and the profits under both schemes would go towards filling the coffers of the global government that will enforce the whole scam.

[Core Economics] How far are we in the science of geo-engineering? : Core Economics: Suppose you believed the world was getting warmer due to humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions and you worried about it but you can’t get yourself to believe that the 200-odd countries in the world are ever going to agree to drastically reduce their emissions via some joint scheme, partially because it is too hard to measure many emissions, partially because it might take a world dictatorship to actually enforce such a deal, and partially because some countries are most likely going to be much better off if the world warms up and hence are going to sabotage any joint plan. You would find yourself backed up in this opinion by a lot of auxiliary data on the difficulties of letting go of the growth fetish, ranging from the known miniscule effect that the ETS schemes currently on the table would have even if they were agreed upon, to the factoid that China is building two coal powered stations a week, to the factoid that in nearly every election politicians promise their electorate more economic growth (read: bigger cars, more holidays to far-away places, more gadgets running on energy, etc.), to the factoid that even the European countries who have been calling for reductions  in emissions for over 2 decades have themselves been happily ”˜burning the midnight oil’.

[Climate Progress] Memo to Baucus: Your state's trees are being ravaged by warming ...: Here’s a sample that was just sent to me by a professor at UCBerkeley, which is punctuated by frequent notations along the lines of: more research is needed, little is known, few studies have been done and, effects observed in the field are worse than predicted:

[grain.org RSS (English)] GRAIN | Seedling | 2009 | The international food system: Those countries with the highest percentages of rural populations and whose economies are most dependent on agriculture tend to make the lowest GHG emissions per capita. [14] For instance, although Canadian agriculture is said to account for only 6 per cent of the country’s overall GHG emissions, this works out at 1.6 tonnes of GHG per Canadian, whereas in India, where agriculture is much more important to the national economy, per capita GHG emissions from all sources are only 1.4 tonnes, and only 0.4 tonnes from agriculture.

[Full Comment] Jonathan Abrams: Why I am no longer a skeptic on climate change ...: The point is not to chastise GW deniers, a gross exaggeration in that many do believe that there is some logic to support a degree of warming caused by human activity, but it is incumbent on all to objectively determine to what degree, over how many decades, at what cost and what other solutions are feasible which avoids a "planetary government" approach and lessens the idolizing of the global crisis gurus.

[cop15.dk News] Stern: Confused climate skeptics - COP15 United Nations Climate ...: As far as being confused, I know a scam when I see one, I know a gravy train when I see one, I know dodgy dealings when I see them and the one thing that has dissallusioned me the most out of all this is the way that science has been hijacked by the confused headline seeking media, the west hating green movement , the political aspirations of unelected wannabes, the short term political needs of elected politicians, grant seeking university administrators, ego driven 'researchers' and the insatiable greed of the financial carpetbaggers who see yet another way of milking uninformed people of their money.

[Climate Progress] UK Met Office: Catastrophic climate change, 13-18°F over most of ...: If global emissions peak within the next decade and then decrease rapidly it may be possible to avoid at least half of the four degrees of warming.” A DECC spokesman said: “This report illustrates why it is imperative for the world to .radiation to create extremely toxic components in the atmosphere, which in turn produce horrific reactions in humans - cancers, asthma, emphysema - and also destroy all forms of life that photosynthesize - trees, shrubs, crops, flowers.

[The Resilient Earth] Serious Black: The Quest for Clean Coal | The Resilient Earth: If they are successful, these initial demonstrations are only the first step toward building a new CCS based coal industry. Low-cost reliable capture at clusters of CCS power plants must emerge, and national pipe networks must be developed, delivering to aquifer storage capacity that must have been validated.

[Care2 News Network - Brain Food found by Barbara L.] Rising CO2 could cause catastrophic sea level rise finds Ant ...: My weblogs of 28 October and 7 November, and a incisive two-page centerfold article by Karel Knip in the November 8 issue of NRC/ Handelsblad, Rotterdam’s counterpart to the New York Times, finally received a clear response from KNMI, the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute.

[Cafferty File] Cafferty File: Tell Jack how you really feel Blog Archive - Has ...: Yes I think they reported as they see it, for the past 20 or so years everything is in an epidemic, it just the way we are living these days, I don't dispute the ice is melting, they have been melting ever since the ice age ended, I believe most people would concede that fact, the issue is whether we are causing it, they have not convinced me we are the cause of Global Warming, that's where they are fudging the facts a bit. they work very hard trying to justify what people want to believe then trying to prove whether we are the cause of Global warming or not.

[Andrew Bolt] Join our global conspiracy | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog: While you re there you may want to check out the heat absorption rate of CO2, it has a narrow frequency response which is exhausted somewhere under 140ppm concentrations, once you go above that the continued absorption is minimal. At that level by the way photosynthesis is marginal and you would not want that process to stop for any reason.
