Bonuses can be a good thing - if they're linked to carbon [dioxide] emissions | Environment | guardian.co.uk

Growing numbers of firms are linking executive remuneration to environmental performance – Andrew Williams investigates those companies pioneering the concept of carbon bonuses

Leaning forward: Why the American Power Act is worth fighting for | Grist

Both left and right have attacked the bill relentlessly since its inception in the House, and for the vast muddled middle the lesson has been simple: if both sides hate it, it must not be worth supporting. A climate bill has come to Congress and it has almost no passionate supporters.

Big Green and little green clash over the American Power Act | Grist

When Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) unveiled their long-awaited American Power Act last week, it drew two sharply different responses from two collections of activist groups.

Two hundred groups that might be called "little green" immediately condemned the climate and energy bill in a joint letter, calling it "greenwashing in the extreme." The coalition consists of regional environmental, peace, and religious groups -- such as Don't Waste Arizona, the Snake River Alliance, and the Turtle Island Restoration Network.

Junk science devastates farmworkers at Heliogenic Climate Change

This is truly ironic. Tens of thousands of farm workers are out of work in California’s devastated central valley because enviros sued the feds to force stopping the pumping of irrigation water from the delta, supposedly because the delta smelt needed more water to survive. Now it turns out the problem for the smelt was not too little water but pollution from wastewater treatment plants. Tell it to the devastated farmlands and farm workers:

Gore Inspires Graduates With Tales of Doom and Ruin

Hey you graduates of the University of Tennessee, the world stinks. It’s a terrible place filled with danger and environmental destruction. In fact, if you’re not careful, you’ll probably end up a wrecker of worlds yourself by heating up our planet with your evil capitalism, gushing oil over our virgin planet and destroying pretty birds, mining on the mountains and spilling debris on the little people below you, using coal and making things dirty, belching global warming filth into our air, melting our glaciers, increasing our humidity and making it rain (like causing floods like the one in Nashville because of your evil consumption), causing refugees, earthquakes, tropical diseases, subprime mortgage crises, chaos, dogs and cats living together openly…

EU Referendum: A basic survival plan

A Katla eruption would likely be about ten times as powerful as the Eyjafjallajokull eruption and could cause worldwide disruption while expelling huge volumes of volcanic ash into the stratosphere. This could circle the globe potentially for years, depending upon the magnitude of the eruption, causing climatic upset and serious economic loss.

We could even be looking at another year without a summer (certainly within the next two years), which could make our current economic problems relatively insignificant by comparison.

At last! A defence of Warmism with some science in it

But the accusatory tone towards skeptics is there too, of course. The article is by Kerry Emanuel, director of the Program in Atmospheres, Oceans, and Climate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. So this would seem to be the best science that Warmism can do. Yet all he succeeds in doing is to show how shaky the whole edifice is.
