Climate Change Bill in Trouble

Posted By Danny Vettoretti

"With no commitment to cut greenhouse gases in the U.S., it would be next to impossible to get other big polluter nations on board in Copenhagen in December for a global agreement on fighting climate change."

latimes must be in dreamland. China and India have no intention of getting "onboard" the ship called Copenhagen. They left the ship a long time ago. Should be calld the Titanic.

Siberia may be melting; methane, 26 times as powerful as carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas, is being released, but at least someone is making money from global warming.

Link to all the headstuckinthesand.com websites you want, when old mammoth bones start making an appearance, time to say, "Yeah, this may be real."

Perfect !!!

This reinforces the fact that the earth has gone through several warming and cooling cycles historically and that in my opinion, it is a very good thing that we are on the warm side of those cycles.

Thanks Steve.

Case Strengthens

Posted By Danny Vettoretti

Case weakens - if UK Met isn't confident enough to provide short -term weather forecasts, what the heck are they thinking that they can predict climate???

Yes, Al I saw your post that weather is not climate but wow, how useless are these folks At the UK Met office?

I'm glad there's science behind the intuitive need to protect our forests from runaway logging. Quite unalike the previous administration whose viewpoint on forests they looked at was, "they came, they sawed"...

As usual, follow the money.
Why does seeing "WWF" give me that throwup taste at the back of my throat?

Note the concern on rising sea level as well.

Anything out of LA is the first source I go to for climate science.

Not.

Hopefully LA will make good on their boycott threats and LA Times will be the first to get shutdown.
