Global warming: Reasons why it might not actually
exist
2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved,
according to the Telegraph's Christopher Booker. Sceptics have long argued
that there are other explanations for climate change other than man-made CO2
and here we look at some of the arguments put forward by those who believe
that global warming is all a hoax........more

A Review of Al Gore's
An Inconvenient Truth

[PST] - The day after
9-11, a person whom I respect and care about a great deal
said to me, "George Bush was anointed by God for a time such
as this." He then asked me what I thought. I said that I
thought that the Bush family was anointed by financial
fraud, narcotics trafficking, and pedophilia. Stunned, he
said, "If that is true, then it's hopeless." I replied that
things were far from hopeless, but that for me solutions
started with faith in a divine intelligence rather than
affirming a dependent relationship with organized crime.
Last week I had dinner with
a wonderful couple -- activists in the San Francisco Bay
Area-- and the woman told me how wonderful she thought Al
Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth was. She
then asked for my opinion. When I gave it, she said, "If
that is true, then it's hopeless." We then proceeded to have
a rich conversation about why folks who used to call
themselves “liberal” or “progressive” are in the same trap
as folks who use to call themselves “conservative “....more

Has the Arctic Melt Passed the Point
of No Return?
Scientists have found the first unequivocal evidence that the
Arctic region is warming at a faster rate than the rest of the
world at least a decade before it was predicted to happen.
Climate-change researchers have found that air temperatures
in the region are higher than would be normally expected
during the autumn because the increased melting of the summer
Arctic sea ice is accumulating heat in the ocean. The
phenomenon, known as Arctic amplification, was not expected to
be seen for at least another 10 or 15 years and the findings
will further raise concerns that the Arctic has already passed
the climatic tipping-point towards ice-free summers, beyond
which it may not recover........

Massive Shift to Clean Energy Could Start Tomorrow
NEW YORK - An aggressive shift towards renewable power generation and
energy effiency could save the world from the most devastating impacts of
climate change, and at the same time create a multi-billion-dollar industry
and save trillions of dollars in future fuel costs, experts say.
A report released Monday by the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC)
and Greenpeace International entitled "Energy [R]Evolution: A Sustainable
World Energy Outlook", estimates that investments meant to create a low carbon
society would carry an annual 360-billion-dollar industry.............more

Humanity must urgently embark on a massive programme to power
civilisation from wood to stave off catastrophic climate change,
one of the world's top scientists has told The Independent on
Sunday.
Twenty years ago, Professor James Hansen was the first
leading scientist to announce that global warming was taking
place. Now he has issued a warning that a back-to-the-future
return to one of the oldest fuels is imperative because the world
has exceeded the danger level for carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere.....more
