Cold Weather Brings Silent Killer To State « Where’s my Global Warming Dude? By Global Freeze
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — The cold weather is here and it has brought with it a silent killer.

With many people turning up their furnaces and throwing would on the fire, the Department of Public Health is warning resident of the dangers of carbon monoxide.

The Connecticut Department of Public Health said that each year, the colorless, odorless gas causes about 33 hospitalizations, 339 emergency room visits and four deaths.

Poznan: "Such a catastrophe" | DeSmogBlog
It’s not even a full sentence, but when Katherine Trajan uttered those three words - "Such a catastrophe" - it seemed to sum up perfectly the declining state of our natural world and the tragic inadequacy of our response.

Trajan is just 25 – too young to be jaded, too bright, too pretty and too generally promising to be giving over to despair. Yet, as the 14th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was drawing to a close in Poznan, Poland, there was surely a note of despair in her voice.

[Benny Peiser] In other words: If the Copenhagen Climate Conference in December 2009 fails to agree on a post-Kyoto deal, it is almost certain that the EU climate package and its conditional targets will be further watered down accordingly. As a result of this new revision clause, the EU has ensured that any enforcement of the EU climate package ultimately depends on the outcome of future international climate negotiations. As Italy's Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi stressed yesterday, his shrewd strategy seems to have paid off.

Tom Nelson, the entry with Katherine Trajan, the 25 year old was classic. She has no science, only an opinion, she is not a listener, she is a lecturer and therefore facts are not relevant to her apparently.

The pathetic nature of this event is not only it's BS from the formal attendees but allowing someone who is the ultimate "know nothing" time to pontificate about something she is is entirely clueless about.

Which I suppose, fit well with this "symposium" since no one else there comprehends the complexities either.

Hi Ralph,

I don't know what for you qualifies as "no science" or "ultimate know nothing" but, in my opinion, a degree in environmental engineering and a Rhodes Scholar graduate degree from Oxford University in environmental policy and management more than qualifies a person at the very least to have an opinion on the matter.

I invite you to enlighten us on the complexities of the situation. You have already demonstrated your capacity for astute observations based on your analysis of this blog posting.
