News Advisory: On Friday, the nation's second highest court will hear arguments from 12 states, three cities and several prominent environmental groups that joined together to challenge the U.S. EPA on its failure to regulate global warming pollution. In anticipation of these unprecedented oral arguments, representatives from Massachusetts Attorney General Tom Reilly's Office, the Sierra Club, the National Environmental Trust, Greenpeace, Earthjustice and the International Center for Technology Assessment will host a background briefing on THURSDAY, APRIL 7 at 10 a.m. EST. The purpose of the briefing is to familiarize the media with the importance of the case and the high stakes involved in this litigation. Each speaker will give very brief remarks and open the lines to questions.
Before overhauling the U.S. economic system and imposing Draconian restrictions on nearly every aspect of life, it's advisable to get the facts straight. That's why we join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in demanding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency hold a full hearing on arguments for and against the theory that man-made global warming poses catastrophic consequences. And if the government refuses, we support the chamber's plans to seek a court trial and judicial determination of whether warming even is continuing and whether it's a threat if it is.
The document was released June 2, with the petition attached as an appendix by an organization calling itself the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change--a play off of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change--that traces its roots to prominent global warming skeptic S. Fred Singer.

Collins' allocation is an election ploy Anyone who cannot see through the sudden allocation by County Executive Chris Collins to fund culturals to be anything other than an election-time ploy for votes is sadly naive. I believe it falls into the category of "damage control." Collins' statement that his decision last year to cut funding had little effect on the organizations is incorrect and inaccurate. He obviously sees only what he wants to see.

", originally self-published by Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus in 2004, argues that environmentalism is unable to deal with climate change and should "die" so that a new paradigm can emerge that can. The essay draws on history, political philosophy, and interviews with over two dozen leaders of large and small environmental organizations and foundations, including the Sierra Club, the Hewlett Foundation, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Shellenberger and Nordhaus suggest that the 20 year failure to reduce emissions is due in part to the unwillingness of environmental leaders to expand their conception of 'the environment' to include humans and economic development. Since this essay was published Shellenberger and Nordhaus authored Break Th...

Steve Prisley, Virginia Tech forester and a former member of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, expresses concern about information from hacked e-mails of climate scientists at Britain's University of East Anglia ("Climategate taints global warming science," Dec. 10 commentary). East Anglia temperature data, used by the IPCC, implicates human use of fossil fuels as a cause of global warming. Prisley's concern about "Climategate" is understandable because some behavior disclosed by the e-mails appears questionable and perhaps unethical. But as the Nov. 27 Roanoke Times editorial "Scientists being human" correctly points out, the e-mails cast no doubt on the many independent studies showing rapid warming in recent decades due to human use of fossil fuels, a po...

Last but not least, out on the "left" coast in San Francisco, a U.S. District Court judge rejected the [George W. Bush] administration's increasingly pathetic-sounding arguments that the effects of "global warming" and "climate change" are "too remote and speculative" to be taken seriously. Especially, argued the Bush administration lawyers, when it involves billions of dollars invested in overseas, greenhouse-gas-spewing energy plants. It means," said Vermont's lone congressman and former president of the Vermont Senate, "we're going to have a fighting chance to get the Environmental Protection Agency to protect the environment and our health." The United States Supreme Court, noted Pedro with a touch of sarcasm, "came to the stunning conclusion that carbon emissions are actually poll...
