Andrew Bolt: Backdown on Green mantra | Herald Sun

Saving the planet from our evil emissions has suddenly become too expensive for everyone from the NSW Premier to the American President.

And if the Gillard Government doesn't sniff the winds soon and drop its emissions trading scheme, as did Kevin Rudd, it will be as dead as the former prime minister's leadership.

Read the signs. Horrified by the exploding cost of her plan to encourage rooftop solar panels, NSW Premier Kristina Keneally two weeks ago slashed the power rebates to consumers to save $2.5 billion.

Scared off by the revolt at the mid-term election against big-spending governments, President Barack Obama last weekend conceded he'd drop his own emissions trading scheme - leaving the Gillard Government's ETS looking even sillier.

Climate Change: ACE Takes Global-Warming [Hoax] to Schools - TIME

Most school science curricula still have relatively little room for climate change, despite the subject's importance, never mind a presentation that was going to engage kids anyway. With money from the wind-power entrepreneur Michael Haas, ACE set out to fix all that. "This is a niche we can fill," says Pic Walker, the executive director for ACE. "Climate literacy is pretty haphazard in the U.S."
...
ACE isn't without controversy. Given how politically charged climate change remains, some skeptics have attacked the group for spreading global-warming alarmism. But ACE isn't an arm of the Green Party — most of the presentation is focused on the science of climate change, not on cap and trade or any of the other legislative solutions being kicked around Congress. At its best, an ACE presentation not only can educate kids about one of the most important issues of our time, but it can also get them viscerally excited about science and the world around them. "Youth right now are ready to explode!" Williams exclaims as he ends his presentation with a little freestyle rap. It's not something you'll likely ever see Al Gore do, but it could be the way to energize the next generation on energy.

Oil demand to rise for 25 years despite green push: IEA

PARIS, Nov 09, 2010 (AFP) - Oil demand and price are set to grow steadily over the next 25 years despite environmental policies, essentially dooming climate-change goals, the International Energy Agency forecast on Tuesday.

Even under climate change pledges made under the Copenhagen Accord last year, fossil fuels will still account for over half the increase in total energy demand, with oil to remain the dominant fuel, the IEA said in its World Energy Outlook report.

It forecasts demand for oil to rise by 18 percent between 2009 and 2035, driven by developing countries, with nearly half the increase due to China alone.

[It's not the feces, it's the CO2?]: Climate change could kill my islands' culture | Pelenise Alofa | Global development | guardian.co.uk

Many people have come in from the outer islands in search of education, employment and for hospital visits. This has put a lot of pressure on our environment and infrastructure. Many of our people live in poverty because we lack the basic infrastructure to support such a large population in such a small space. We cannot go swimming along most of the coast because it is too polluted from people using it as a toilet. So for these reasons, our people are very vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
