NYTimes Embraces Stolen Heartland Institute Docs, Snottily Dismisses Climate Skepticism | NewsBusters.org

Gillis and Kaufman accuse Heartland of fighting “climate science,” and cast its opponents as noble “defenders of science education.” Skeptics would accuse them of using classrooms to spread global-warming hysteria. (Last Christmas, a piece by Gillis was eviscerated by a climate scientist as “perhaps the worst piece of reporting I've ever seen in the Times on climate change.”)

allAfrica.com: Kenya: Pastoralists Reach Out for Carbon Cash

However, not all pastoralists trust the plan. Some, like 68-year-old Paul Leshire, suspect that the carbon push is a ploy to deny them their traditional grazing land.

Secretary Clinton Announces Climate Plans to Deal with Black Carbon, Methane | Ecocentric | TIME.com

Real talk: when it comes to dealing with climate change—and reducing carbon emissions, the top man-made cause of warming—the international community is doing a crap job. The U.N. process is bogged down, with ambitions that seem to shrink each year even as the summits themselves grow longer and longer. Europe’s emissions trading scheme (ETS)—the biggest carbon market in the world—is apparently a total mess. And the U.S. is…well, the U.S. really has no comprehensive climate program to speak of, and given the Republican party’s denialist take on climate change, the country is one potentially one Presidential election away from going in reverse on global warming. It’s not that zero progress is being made—renewable energy keeps growing, new air pollution rules are cutting into coal and energy efficiency is impacting oil demand. But this isn’t where we thought we’d be almost five years ago at the Bali summit.

Global warming skips the Sierras « Don Surber

Isn’t this ironic? The Sierra Club was begun more than 120 years ago to the Sierras. Now the tax-exempt corporation is one of the biggest and well-financed lobbyists for the regulation of carbon dioxide in the name of stopping global warming — even though a new study shows global warming has had zero effect on the Sierras. The amount of snow that falls each winter varies from year to year and you can make a chart that shows the snowfall has plummeted since 1951-52 or risen since 1952-53. I call it fun with numbers and it seems to be the basis of all global warming ‘science.”
