Biodiversity as important to India as climate change: Ramesh

New York, Sep 26 (PTI) Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh has underlined that Convention on Biodiversity was equally important to India as combating climate change, which tends to hog the limelight.

"Climate change gets the headline, biodiversity does not get the headlines," Ramesh told PTI as he left New York this weekend after a week of attending environment related meetings, including those with US Climate Change Negotiator Todd Stern and Chinese Environment Minister Xie Zhenhua.

Browner's green blues - POLITICO.com Print View

Yet even as Browner’s stock rises, her rationale for remaining by Obama’s side is declining. The collapse of the administration’s comprehensive climate change effort — a career-long goal for Browner — has stoked rumors that she’ll head for the exit rather than settle for an incremental, vastly scaled-back energy agenda.
...
“I heard, by reputation, she was some environmental wacko, but I didn’t find that at all,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who pulled the plug on bipartisan talks over the summer.

On the other hand, a Browner departure would be the gladdest of tidings for industry lobbyists who think she is a green zealot like her former boss Al Gore.

Pacific Warming, Atlantic Hurricanes & Global Climate Non-Disruption | The Resilient Earth

Bottom line—Central Pacific Warming is not caused by global warming and CPW does not influence Atlantic hurricane frequency.

Never have so many scientists looked so long and so hard for corroborating evidence to prop up a theory. After looking for a smoking gun for 50 years, it is about time for the eco-alarmists and warm-mongering climate change supporters to admit that their pet theory is not supported by the facts. The reason they have not found the proof they seek is simple—the anthropogenic global warming theory is wrong and changing its name to global climate disruption will not make it right.
