Who Should ‘Go First’ on Greenhouse Gas Control? — The American, A Magazine of Ideas

The argument that the developed world should be the first to cut greenhouse gas emissions is illogical when viewing climate change as the long-term challenge it is purported to be.

We're saved: In order to save us from devastating CO2-induced hellfire, Coca-Cola will use "natural" CO2 to cool the CO2-laced drinks they're selling us

The new climate-friendly Coca-Cola coolers use carbon dioxide (CO2), a natural refrigerant gas and HFC-Free insulation, eliminating 99 percent of the direct green house gas (GHG) emissions. The coolers include an intelligent energy management system (EMS-55) that cuts energy use by an average of 26 percent. CO2-based cooling technology ensures a natural, climate-friendly alternative to HFCs and reduces energy use. CO2 has 1,400 times less global warming impact than R-134a, the most typical HFC refrigerant gas, and will reduce indirect green house gas emissions by more than three tons over the lifetime of the machine.

Selling insurance: Lloyd's of London promotes the greatest scientific fraud in history

Lloyd's of London held a conference on April 28 in conjunction with the release of its latest "360 Report" on climate change that sets out just how it "will dramatically alter global business and trade." The report, entitled "Climate Change and Security: risks and opportunities for business," was prepared in conjunction with the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). It highlights the potential changes that will bring both "threats" and create "opportunities - for businesses."
