[Physics Today Campaign 2008 - Where do they stand on science?] Science in the campaign, climate change, and the vice-presidential ...: While the vice-presidential debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden, and the failure to pass the more than $700 billion rescue bailout of the financial sector, dominated the airwaves for the last week, some significant political developments regarding science will impact whoever runs the next administration: Research agencies discovered how much money they will have for the first part of next year; NASA received an anniversary present;
[Gristmill] VP debate: The question of climate change: Moderator Gwen Ifill's question to Sarah Palin: "Governor, I'm happy to talk to you in this next section about energy issues. Let's talk about climate change.
[Fact Check] DEBATE REALITY CHECK: CLIMATE CHANGE: Ø McCain Has Taken To Denying That He Favors "Mandatory" Limits Even Though Its Central To The "Cap And Trade" Legislation He Has Sponsored. "McCain has lately taken to denying that he favors ”˜mandatory’ limits on greenhouse gas emissions, even though a government-imposed limit is central to the ”˜cap and trade’ legislation that he favors and has sponsored.
[Topics Education Three Sticks] Climate, baby, climate!: Also as we rely more and more on other countries that don't care as much about the climate as we do, we're allowing them to produce and to emit and even pollute more than America would ever stand for. So even in dealing with climate change, it's all the more reason that we have an "all of the above" approach, tapping into alternative sources of energy and conserving fuel, conserving our petroleum products and our hydrocarbons so that we can clean up this planet and deal with climate change.
[The Way Things Break] Climate change- of course causation matters. But not to Palin. Why?: She will no doubt continue to mouth platitudes about environmental responsibility, but I don’t think we’ll see her move to an explicit and consistent acknowledgment of anthropogenic climate change unless the McCain campaign considers it to be a game changing issue. And with the lack of attention climate receives in the election in general, and this being the last probable time before the election that she’ll be asked about it, I think the chances of that are slim to none.
[Solar Feeds Gadgets] VP Debates: Biden vs Palin on Climate Change: Obama’s VP pick Joe Biden emphasized that he believes climate change is caused by man, while McCain’s VP pick Sarah Palin said, once again, that she doesn’t fully attribute global warming to man.
[Gristmill] Veep on rockin': Palin and Biden sparred several times on energy, with Palin talking repeatedly about the need to achieve energy security for the United States and saying that the only way to do so is by exploiting all the energy resources available here at home. Biden countered by going after McCain's votes against measures to support renewables: "We should be creating jobs.
[Blog] Climate Change at the Debate: Well, as the nation's only Arctic state and being the governor of that state, Alaska feels and sees impacts of climate change more so than any other state. And we know that it's real.
[g.blog] John “Palin” Key?: John Key doesn’t bring change we can believe in, (he has a hard enough time getting the b into “(b)righter future”) and he’s far from a historic, inspiring, and non-partisan candidate. That’s even leaving aside the fact that John Key proposes nothing worthwhile to address the problems the Labour Party has left us with- of which cut welfare intact from the last National government, unambitious action on climate change that puts cushioning businesses ahead of the planet and potential flooding of reclaimed land like Wellington Harbour, National-Labour partisan battles erupting over the house, pork-loading in overly generous concessions to the elderly for New Zealand First, the new Daylight Savings courtesy of United Future that drove me bats whenever I woke up at seven in the morning thinking it was the middle of the night, and free trade deals that just aren’t fair trade for our manufacturers are all just casual examples, and all of which are reasons to Vote For Us.
[Where there's a Will, there's a way] Sarah Palin doesn't believe in science: On one of the most important issues of our time, an issue on which Palin claims to be an expert, she's siding with the lunatic fringe of the climate change debate. I'm hungry for a Vice President who has the good sense to listen to unbiased scientists over oil industry lobbyists.
[T'ings 'n Times] VP Debate Live-Blog: Palin wants to talk directly to the American people without the media filtering what she says. ‘Cause if you say something dumb, gosh-darn it, don’t you know, those awful media people will show it to the world.
[Spin Cycle] Climate change: The quote: “We know it's real, I'm not one to attribute every activity of man to the changes in the climate. There is something to be said also for man's activities, but also for the cyclical temperature changes on our planet, but there are real changes going on in our climate, and I don't want to argue about the causes.“
[Colorado Independent] McCain and Obama: Comparing energy, climate change policies: There are clearly stark differences between the way Obama and McCain see the future, especially as it relates to energy extraction, production and the environmental consequences thereof. Obama sees the threats facing not only the nation but the planet, and the lens he views these challenges through makes clear he intends to steer us hard away from the dangerous carbon-based economy of today.
