Senate should move on climate change legislation
The Hill &bull Yesterday
At the turn of the 20th Century, smoke meant jobs. When noxious fumes spewed from factory stacks, workers brought home paychecks. Industries hired. The future was bright as molten iron flowing from a blast furnace. In industrial Pittsburgh's heyday, the smoke was so dense streetlights remained lit at noon. White collar workers changed soot-covered shirts mid-day. The region's residents suffered high rates of asthma and emphysema. In 1948, an inversion trapped industrial pollution in a small town south of Pittsburgh, killing 20. Now, however, good-paying industrial jobs need… Full Story »

Guardian Unlimited &bull Yesterday
Scientists say desertification of the mountain grasslands of the Tibetan plateau is accelerating climate change Like generations of Tibetan nomads before him, Phuntsok Dorje makes a living raising yaks and other livestock on the vast alpine grasslands that provide a thatch on the roof of the world.

The high-altitude meadows are rarely mentioned in discussions of global warming, but the changes to this ground have a profound impact on Tibetan politics and the world's… Full Story »

Examiner Politics Channel Articles &bull Yesterday
The Discovery Channel MUST broadcast to the world their commitment to save the planet and to do the following IMMEDIATELY: 1. The Discovery Channel and it's affiliate channels MUST have daily television programs at prime time slots based on Daniel Quinn's "My Ishmael" pages 207-212 where solutions to save the planet would be done in the same way as the Industrial Revolution was done, by people building on each other's inventive ideas. Focus must be given on how people can live WITHOUT giving birth to more filthy human children since those new additions continue pollution and are pollution. A game… Full Story »

CNN's Sanchez Hesitant to Blame Left for Discovery Channel Terrorist, Says 'Most' Think He Went 'Too Far'
Newsbusters &bull Yesterday
CNN's Rick Sanchez, who was quick to blame Fox News for the 2009 murders of three police officers in Pennsylvania, treaded much more carefully on Wednesday's Rick's List as he covered the eco-terrorist who brought guns, explosives, and took hostages at Discovery Channel's headquarters. Sanchez stated that Lee may have been "well-meaning," but "most watching this would argue he may have taken [his cause] way too far on this day" [audio clip available here]. Most?

China Sustains Blunt 'You First' Message on CO2
New York Times = Op/Ed &bull Yesterday
Yu Qingtai, China's lead negotiator in climate talks from 2007 through the tumultuous conference in Copenhagen last December, recently gave a blunt speech at the Bejing University School of International Studies on climate, diplomacy and the balance of national and global interests in limiting global warming. Yu, who is now China's ambassador to the Czech Republic, presented a tough - and appropriate - challenge to the world's industrialized nations, which have largely built their wealth on a couple of centuries of burning fossil fuels. In sum, he said that China's national interests will always come first and, in any move… Full Story »

IPCC must keep its eye on the ball
Guardian Unlimited &bull Yesterday
Instead of producing reports 3,000 pages long, the IPCC should focus only on the key questions that everyone is interested in If the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change didn't exist, would we need to invent it? Many people find it helpful to have a single point of reference on the big, global questions that everyone is interested in: can we detect human influence on climate, how large are changes expected to be in future, what are the main impacts likely to be and what can (not should) be done… Full Story »

Bill Gates on RD, a Carbon Tax and China's Climate Role
NY Times-Opinion &bull Yesterday
Bill Gates, the software innovator and development philanthropist who has recently championed a big research push to advance non-polluting energy choices, has weighed in with some new thoughts after reading a critique of his thesis by Richard Rosen of the Tellus Institute. Rosen asserted that putting too much focus on research aimed at energy breakthroughs was "dangerous" because it might encourage people "to put off investment in the many good renewable technologies that we have today, in the hope that something dramatically better will come along in the future." Gates e-mailed me some reactions and more detail on his vision… Full Story »

Island birds vulnerable to global warming
Star Advertiser - Editorials &bull YesterdayWith its striking scarlet and black plumage and long curved beak, the iiwi, or scarlet Hawaiian honeycreeper, is one of Hawaii's most recognizable forest birds. Its brilliant feathers adorned native Hawaiians' capes and clothing as a symbol of power and prestige, and its mysterious metallic call is a welcome addition to the forest symphony. If action isn't taken today, however, the iiwi may follow in the footsteps of at least 95 Hawaiian birds that have gone extinct. Already, these honeycreepers have been squeezed out of their lowland habitat by development and disease. They've survived for generations in high-elevation forests, but… Full Story »
