Coal Challenge Looms in India and China - NYTimes.com

Economic growth in China is now powered largely by coal. If current trends continue, coal use will decrease in Europe by 2050 but will more than double in China and in India, according to projections by the International Energy Agency. Even if there is a significant shift to cleaner forms of power by that date, the growth of each country will spawn enormous emissions along the way.

That is why Nobuo Tanaka, executive director of the International Energy Agency, who spoke on Wednesday at Columbia University, said that when it comes to climate change, the “single most important issue is how to get China to deploy carbon capture and storage into its coal sector.”

California’s Job Terminator

What state ranks third in unemployment, second in foreclosures, has the nation’s worst credit rating, is running a $19 billion deficit—yet insists on spending billions on a greenhouse gas emissions reduction plan that can’t possibly impact global warming?

Yes, it’s California, land of the Governator, who signed a bill that may say “Hasta la vista, baby!” to perhaps a million jobs. Yet there’s hope the prosperity terminator can be stopped.

Global Warming Hoax Update | Blogs For Victory

It is a very typical thing among liberals – terminology changes as a means of ever confusing issues to make it hard to attack them. Global warming is falling in to disrepute as the lies used to bolster it are exposed…so, rather than just admit error, our liberals will simply pour the old wine in to a new bottle.

Climate Change Study Says 37 States Had Record High Temperatures This Summer - News Story - theNewsChannel The News Channel

Dr. Anna Klene teaches climate change courses at the University of Montana. She worries about the battle over the issue.

"In the climate change community, we've really shifted in the last 10 years," Klene said. "And, we aren't talking about whether or not it's happening anymore. We're really talking about how do we respond? How do we make it so we don't have 24 million people homeless in Pakistan because of a flood that's going to happen more often?"

Others think the entire climate change theory is flawed. The Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank. One Heritage researcher says the latest study only shows trends on the east and west coasts of the U.S. He argues that real global warming would increase temperatures everywhere.

Every time there's some anomaly that fits their pattern, they say, 'see? Here it is.' What we want to do is look at long term changes, and see, can we explain those with things other than green house gases," Dr. David Kreutzer said. "And you can explain a majority of the temperature increase with natural cycles."
