[Climate Crisis Coalition - Daily News] Daily News: ”˜For critics,’ he argued last week, ”˜there’sa belief that coal-fired power stations undermine the UK’s leadership position on climate change. In fact, the opposite is true’”¦ Does he really think there’s such a thing as clean coal?
[a sibilant intake of breath] Monbiot on British carbon capture plans: In principle, carbon capture and storage (CCS) could reduce emissions from power stations by 80% to 90%. While the whole process has not yet been demonstrated, the individual steps are all deployed commercially today: it looks feasible.

[Rural Culture] From Climate Alarmism to Climate Realism: This fear of mine is the driving force behind my active involvement in the Climate Change Debate and behind my being the only head of state who in September 2007 at the UN Climate Change Conference, only a few blocks away from here, openly and explicitly challenged the current global warming hysteria. My central argument was ”” in a condensed form ”” formulated in the subtitle of my recently published book devoted to this topic which asks: “What is Endangered: Climate or Freedom?” My answer is clear and resolute: “it is our freedom.” I may also add “and our prosperity.”
[European Centre for Public Affairs] US & EU Approaches to Climate Change: Time for a Foreign Policy ...: I argued that the underlying metaprogramme of Europeans was shifting from an internal story about “peace and reunification in Europe” to an externally focused story of “Europe in the World”. I further argued that in order to capitalise on this new metaprogramme the EU would need to overcome both its leadership crisis and the log jam in which it found itself after the rejection of the Constitutional Treaty by France and The Netherlands.
[Greenpeace UK blogs] Hutton's coal-fired 'kite' shot down in flames: With the government currently considering whether togrant a license for Kingsnorth in Kent, which will be the first new coal-firedplant in Britain for 30 years (with at least seven more planned to follow),Hutton's speech was obviously intended as a declaration of support for a newcoal era, and to characterise him as a man prepared to "showleadership" and take difficult decisions.
[volnation] Southern Baptist Leaders Take Unusual Step of Urging Fight Against ...: The declaration, signed by the president of the Southern Baptist Convention among others and released Monday, shows a growing urgency about climate change even within groups that once dismissed claims of an overheating planet as a liberal ruse. The conservative denomination has 16.3 million members and is the largest Protestant group in the U.S.
[The Inquiring Mind] Climate Change - an update: “The current proposal for the structure of the ETS will deliver no significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, will act as an impediment to the rapid implementation of less carbon intensive production technologies in the manufacturing industry and will do nothing to slow the destruction of forests to make way for increasingly greenhouse gas intensive forms of dairy farming,” said Dr Denniss.
[Iqwedna's Weblog] Arnie to auto-makers: I’ll be back: Climate change experts say the state can’t afford to wait any longer to begin scaling back its carbon emissions - slashing its use of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal.But a win in court for the motor industry on the previous regulations would send state regulators scrambling to meet the deadlines outlined in the global warming bill that Schwarzenegger is scheduled to sign this week.They would have to find other ways to force the transportation sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 30 million metric tons, about 20 per cent of the statewide cap.Linda Adams, head of Schwarzenegger’s Environmental Protection Agency, said a court loss would take away an essential tool.”Any attempt to undo the progress California has made to reduce climate change emissions would threaten the state’s ability to meet the governor’s goals,” Adams said in a statement.As a precaution, state MPs inserted a provision into the global warming bill that would give the Air Resources Board power to impose other regulations on the motor industry designed to reduce greenhouse gases.
[The Sietch Blog] China CO2 Emissions Off The Charts: Could Undo All Kyoto Gains In ...: “It had been expected that the efficiency of China’s power generation would continue to improve as per capita income increased, slowing down the rate of CO2 emissions growth. What we’re finding instead is that the emissions growth rate is surpassing our worst expectations, and that means the goal of stabilizing atmospheric CO2 is going to be much, much harder to achieve”

[Climate and energy] News Updates: Svaty’s testimony, in full: The issue in this particular case is that if the EPA does not determine one way or another the future of GHG emissions, and does not actively engage in the debate over whether or not GHGs endanger the public health and welfare, state-level debates similar to the one that occurring in Kansas are likely to become distractions to the central question of regulatory authority over issues that do in fact endanger the public health and welfare of citizens. As an example, the debate in Kansas has been only viscerally about the science of global warming and hardly at all on the impact on the public health and welfare.
