Sweden is only the latest country to come back to the nuclear fold.

Leaders of the coalition government say new reactors are needed to help combat climate change and secure the nation’s energy supply.

Yes two requirements that are on a head-on collision; energy requirements and reducing CO2 emissions.

Sweden was one of those countries that ( Read more... )

There was once a time when engineers worked madly to figure out how to turn pollutants into harmless Carbon Dioxide. Notably the carbon monoxides and nitrous oxides from car and power generation plants, not to mention the significant particulate emissions.

I grew up in the Los Angeles basin and remember the brown smog that plagues that area ( Read more... )

It looks like they're finally starting to look at alternative causation if, for no other reason than to shut guys like me up. They seem to have pretty well put paid to the Solar Variability theory. However it clashes with the Zurich Observations of 2004. This shows that since 1980 Solar output has gone down and that there was even a Cosmic Ray ( Read more... )

I don't know how good this is but the fact that it DIDN'T try to make a case for climate change and the fact that the climate data was incidental to the main study, give it credence. However, I'm not quite sure that I can completely agree with the statement made below.

Sea level appears to have been slowly dropping along the eastern coast of ( Read more... )

This time it's the Times, in an article about a major tiff between climatologists.

Is there any other "model" in nature where a tiny EFFECT "feedback" PRODUCES a major increase in the CAUSE? It sounds like a ready made excuse to explain away the fact that the data doesn't fit the chosen theory. What hard evidence is there that might make one ( Read more... )

It's the worst drought year on record. Even at the end of the 7-year drought (ended in 1991) it didn't get this bad.

Downtown Los Angeles has recorded less than 4 inches of rain since July 1 - less than a quarter of normal. The region was hit Monday with another round of high heat, low humidity and dry winds, prompting officials to issue a red ( Read more... )

Burning their own, as well they should! The blatantly biased and skewed view of the Sterns Report is unscientific and highlights, for the rest of us, the hoax portion of what's been perpetrated by the Kyoto convention and the Brits. The detractors are correct in that this makes ALL of the scientific community lose credibility ( Read more... )

The Sun seems to be 'dimming'!

Back in the day (late 60's early 70's), this was already reported and was called the harbinger of a new Ice Age. Climatologists, at that time, were making many predictions along these lines. Of course, the human race wasn't nearly conceited enough to think that they could do anything about it. At that time, fears ( Read more... )

Even more crap from the UK. Thye are exporting their bullshit to the EU.
The campaign is called "You Control Climate Change" and aims to show how everyday actions can lead to cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions.
WRONG! We most definitly do not control climate change. Not even in our most megalamaniacal dreams.
Households are responsible for around 15% ( Read more... )
