A significant development today from this respected Senate statesman and national security authority whom no one, by the way, would describe as an alarmist.
From Senator Warner’s joint press release with Senator Lieberman:
“In my 28 years in the Senate, I have focused above all on issues of national security, and I see the problem of climate [...]

Back in 2005, I read an article in which a number of scientists proposed deploying a giant network of mirrors into orbit around the Earth, in order to reflect some of the sun’s rays, and slow the process of global warming. It was an idea so outlandish that I almost thought it was a [...]

The Independent (UK) is reporting that Gore claims “the nature and severity of the climate crisis had seemed painfully obvious to me for quite a long time. I wish that we could have [...]

In response to his comment on my last post, I agree with Daniel that Kyoto isn’t the way to go. It didn’t include developing countries such as China and India, and any successful international framework must include them. The other major flaw is how it implements a cap and trade system. Simply [...]

I read today that Poland, already Europe’s largest coal producer, is planning to dramatically increase production to meet the energy demands of its growing economy. I would never begrudge another country’s efforts to grow its economy – the U.S., after all, has grown wealthy thanks in no small part to our abundance of coal – [...]

President Bush supported South Korea’s Ban Ki-moon last year to succeed Kofi Annan as UN Secretary General. This weekend, Ban highlighted a consequence of climate change that a distinguished group of retired senior U.S. admirals and generals already warned us about – it worsens instability and conflict in volatile parts of the world, something witnessed [...]

The big carbon cap/climate change news in recent weeks came from President Bush, who announced his intention to join with other industrialized nations to set limits on carbon emissions for the years to come.

I’m pleasantly surprised a few liberals now admit that, gosh, President Bush was right to oppose the Kyoto Protocol. Sure, many think the climate proposal he offered to G8 leaders at Heiligendamm, Germany leaves lots undone (and in all honesty so do I). But it turns out his belief that China and India [...]

I’m not one to sound the climate change alarm every time a hurricane or other tropical storm forms. I’m from South Carolina so I’ve seen more than my fair share. But there’s a storm currently churning in the Persian Gulf region, Cyclone Gonu, with the potential to pack the very one-two-three punch that a group [...]
