Global Warming

The American health-care sector accounts for 8 percent of the country's carbon dioxide emissions, according to a first-of-its-kind calculation of health care's carbon footprint. Researchers used expenditures from different parts of the health care sector to measure the industry's potential effect upon global warming through the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Here comes that law of unintended consequences again. Global Warming Moonbats believe that electric cars are one of the major solutions to the problem of man made CO2 emissions causing the snow caps to melt, animals to die and blockbuster video to run out of your favorite videos.  New research show electric cars are not the answer. The Environmental Transport Association in the UK, believes that electric cars could increase the rate of...  

As argued many times on this site, it's the sun, stupid:Professor Ian Plimer, a geologist from Adelaide University, argues that a recent rise in temperature around the world is caused by solar cycles and other "extra terrestrial" forces.He said carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, widely blamed for global warming, is a natural phenomenon caused by volcanoes erupting."We cannot stop carbon emissions because most of them come from volcanoes," he...  

Right-wing blogs the Drudge Report and BigGovernment.com are promoting a London Telegraph article on an Australian scientist's arguments that carbon dioxide emissions are "not causing" the Earth to warm, that global warming is natural, and that it is not caused by human emissions. However, one of geologist Ian Plimer's central assertions in the article -- that volcanoes are the primary source for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere -- is...  

For all of the talk about new energy, Ohio relies largely on old-coal for its electricity. And environmental groups such as Environment Ohio hope a new report on climbing fossil fuel emissions will convince the state to back global climate change bills. WKSU's M.L. Schultze has more. WKSU's M.L. Schultze reports.  

Spain and Italy are the European Union's worst performers when it comes to reducing CO2 emissions, according to new figures released by the European Commission. Denmark, where the UN climate change talks are being held in December, is also likely to ...  

Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a natural phenomenon caused by volcanoes and is not responsible for climate change, a scientist has claimed. Professor Ian Plimer, a geologist from Adelaide University, argues that a recent rise in temperature around the world is caused by solar cycles and other "extra terrestrial" forces. He said carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, widely blamed for global warming, is a natural phenomenon caused by volcanoes...  

There has been a ground breaking discovery in the global warming debate – there has been no net increase in CO2 since 1850: New data show that the balance between the airborne and the absorbed fraction of carbon dioxide has stayed approximately constant since 1850, despite emissions of carbon dioxide having risen from about 2 billion tons [...]  

While climate-change legislation continues its political roller coaster ride through Congress, another effort to regulate greenhouse gas emissions is underfoot. The Environmental Protection Agency has sent its final finding on whether carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions are a danger to human health and welfare, Reuters reported. The EPA sent its final endangerment finding to the White House Office of Management and Budget, where...

Higher atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations will accelerate ocean acidification and diminish the effectiveness of marine carbon sink areas, new EU-funded research shows. ... If the oceans take up less, more is staying in the atmosphere, and that would accelerate climate change. So the fear is [that] if the North Atlantic, which is one of the biggest uptakes in the world, is taking up less and less, it would increase climate change...
