international agreements on global warming

• Global Warming Ideology Still On Top; the Science has Crumbled, but Too Much Money Backs the Scare

Climate change" has suffered significant setbacks in the past year. First there was Climategate. Then the Copenhagen conference ended without binding agreements on either mitigation or adaptation. This was followed quickly by Glaciergate, Amazongate, Kiwigate and serious challenges to the credibility of Rajendra K. Pachauri, chairman of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Next, professor Phil Jones of the United Kingdom's Climatic Research Unit (and lead author of the IPCC chapter on temperatures) admitted that there has been no statistically significant warming for 15 years. Then "hockey stick" promoters finally acknowledged that there indeed was a Medieval Warm Period.

• 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...

• ; Radical Environmentalist Is the Wrong Choice for Commerce Post

President Obama's pick to replace Gary F. Locke as commerce secretary faces an uphill Senate confirmation battle. Even before the White House handed in the name of John Bryson for the job, Senate Republicans had vowed to block any nominee over administration foot-dragging on free-trade agreements. The selection of this particular leftist for a business-outreach post is rallying the opposition. "I find Mr Bryson unacceptable as secretary of commerce for the United States, and I will work in opposition to his conformation," said Sen. John Barrasso, vice chairman of the Republican Conference, to The Washington Times. Mr. Bryson co-founded the Natural Resources Defense Council, a radical outfit that relies on lawsuits and activist courts to advance an anti-industrial agenda. Mr. Bryson even...
