Climate Concerns May Soon be a Thing of the Past as Scientists Work on Splitting CO2

The modern obsession with "pre-industrial levels of CO2" displays a profound ignorance of this planet's atmospheric and biological history, as the graphic above demonstrates.

Patrick Bond Reflects on COP17: Durban’s “Climate-policy Zombie” | UNISA Press

Patrick Bond, author of Durban’s Climate Gamble, was not at all surprised that COP17 led to no binding agreements about climate change.

Using the terminology of Bolivia’s former UN ambassador Pablo Solon, who called the Kyoto conference, “a Zombie, a soulless undead”, Bond says that Durban’s “soul-deprived, brain-dead, heartless climate-policy Zombie” has ” tripped on the crumpled carbon markets”.

According to Bond, carbon trades in Durban have been failing, and South Africa’s “highest-profile pilot” Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project “is a scam”.

Oil & gas: NWF's [says the Keystone XL fight isn't really about global warming]

Jeremy Symons: Well, we initially thought that this was a big global warming fight in some respects because tar sands is such a big source and a growing source of carbon pollution. There's no question about for the long-term there are global warming implications here and we can't grow our addiction to tar sands. But what we found out is over the next 10, 15, 20 years this pipeline really matters. It isn't about increasing tar sands. This pipeline is about moving tar sands oil already coming into the nation from America's Midwest overseas. So it's turned into much more of an economic fight and more about the route. Why are we crossing 1700 miles across America's heartland? Because that's what they need to do to get it to the port. That's the only reason that a sacrifice is being asked of all these landowners along the way and all the agriculture along way.
