Global Warming

Content and discussion related to global warming-- the science behind it and views from all angles: environmental, cultural, political, economic.

Let's break down the case for human-caused global warming logically: There is plenty of evidence that global warming has been occurring recently.There is ample evidence that carbon emissions causes warming and that the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide is increasing.But there is no evidence that carbon dioxide emissions are the main cause of the recent global warming. The alarmists focus you entirely on the first two points, to distract...

If Congress passes legislation to reduce global-warming emissions, Westar Energy customers in northern Kansas could be on the hook for twice as much in rate increases as consumers in southern Kansas, analysts say.That could become a key issue as the Kansas Corporation Commission ponders whether to equalize the rates for the two regions.At issue is a plan in Congress called "cap-and-trade," which would force utilities to reduce their emissions...

The chances of concluding a new global climate change pact remain dim unless China, India and Brazil make significant cuts in carbon dioxide emissions as well a senior Swedish climate change official said Thursday. Lars-Erik Liljelund, special climate change adviser to the Swedish government, said cuts from richer countries in the 27-nation bloc or planned cuts in the United States will not be enough to meet aims to cut at least 25 percent of emission from 1990 levels. "The problem at the moment is that if you take the contributions made so far by the United States, the European Union and Japan then we ... Read Full Story

Vegetation helped save Earth from runaway cooling that would have encased the planet in ice, according to a study published on Wednesday. The paper sheds light on the big natural mechanisms that over hundreds of millions of years have swung the globe like a pendulum between deep chill and intense heat. Around 50 million years ago, the planet's poles were ice-free and crocodiles roamed the Arctic. But that was followed by a long period of cooling, in which levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), the principal "greenhouse" gas that traps solar heat, progressively declined. Belching volcanoes provided the main source of this CO2 -- in ... Read Full Story

Why we need to pay for someone's bills? They did all the damage they can for the last few decades and developed well.. now pushing the developing countries like india to sign the agreements.. whether it is IAEA or GHG , It is all something which they have done successfully in the past and now ordering the other countries not to do it.. read why India don't need those set targets at present.. We start doing it more effectively the day when our country's name is next to them, in the "developed countries list" .. How many more years we need to listen to ... Read Full Story

Besides the obvious benefits they bring, it looks like we owe our very existence to plants, which helped prevent the Earth from freezing over during the past 25 million years. About 50 million years ago, Earth was a hothouse – the poles were ice free, and crocodiles lived in the Arctic. Then, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere started dropping from around 1000-1500 parts per million (ppm), and the Earth began to cool. By about 24 million years ago, the uplift of the Himalayan and Andes mountain ranges led to large-scale weathering of rocks, a process that removes massive amounts of CO2 ... Read Full Story

Canada ranks last among the Group of Eight (G8) industrialised nations for tackling climate change while Germany is top, the green group WWF and the German insurance giant Allianz reported on Wednesday. Their assessment, issued ahead of the annual G8 summit, blasts Canada for greenhouse-gas emissions that are surging "far above" its obligations under under the UN's Kyoto Protocol. "(Canada's) per capita emissions are among the highest in the world," they said. "(Its) mid- to long-term greenhouse targets are inadequate. A plan to curb emissions was developed last year but has not been implemented. The Kyoto target will stay completely out of reach." The ... Read Full Story
