climate change articles

• Stop Global Warming

I am amazed how the BDN and most decision-making bodies seem to rarely connect their actions and plans with consequences for climate change. Articles and editorials in the BDN Jan. 9 are a case-in- point. The front page article and editorial speak of the "clean burning" and "huge" economic benefits of the biomass refinery proposed, the types of garbage to be burned and what to do with that which is not burned. Nowhere is there a discussion about the impact on climate change, aka global warming.

• Some Want Gore to Cool the Hype

Hollywood has a thing for Al Gore and his three-alarm film on global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth," which won an Academy Award for best documentary. So do many environmentalists, who praise him as a visionary, and many scientists, who laud him for raising public awareness of climate change. But part of his scientific audience is uneasy. In talks, articles and blog entries that have appeared since his film and accompanying book came out last year, these scientists argue that some of Gore's central points are exaggerated or erroneous. They are alarmed, some say, at what they call his alarmism.

• Bangladesh Is Not a Victim of Climate Change

The Washington Times has printed some balanced articles on climate change, so I was disappointed to read one so alarmist as "Bangladesh fights for survival" (World, Sunday). Bangladesh does indeed face the threat every year of cyclonic storms in its coastal areas. The 1970 storm, with a tidal surge of over 32 feet, killed more than 500,000 people. A smaller storm in 2007 killed more than 3,000 people. By contrast, loss of life from record floods in the Jamuna, Ganges and Meghna is in the hundreds. Bank erosion along the rivers can destroy farmland every year.

• The Death of Environmentalism

", 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...

• Will Wrong On Warming

A decade ago, George Will's opinions were incisive, logically consistent and worthy of respect. Even if you disagreed with him politically, you ignored his opinions at your peril. Sadly, Will's commentaries of the past few years reveal a loss of the intellectual rigor. No better example exists than his piece published in the Deseret News on Nov. 8. in which he repeats the long-discredited myth that in the 1970s climate scientists were concerned not with global warming, but with global cooling -- therefore climate scientists can't be trusted. The myth itself is easily refuted. In September 2008, the American Meteorological Society published an analysis of the climate change research published in peer-reviewed professional science journals between 1965 and 1979. Forty-four research articl...

• Yes, He's Right, and Yes You Can Do Something About Global Warming

Is Al Gore right about global warming? Yes. Mr. Gore presents a compelling case that the debate about whether global warming is real is over. Of the over 900 peer- reviewed articles on climate change published in scientific journals over the past 10 years, zero disputed the causes of global warming. It's us.
