Nobel Winner's Speech at Montana High School Canceled Over Global Warming Controversy
Nobel Winner's Speech at Montana High School Canceled Over Global Warming Controversy
Excerpt:
"University of Montana scientist Steve Running said he had never before been canceled in any venue, by any organization. "I think there's a faction of society that is willfully ignorant, that they just don't want to know the facts about this," he said.
Running is a member of the U.N. science panel that shared last year's Nobel with former Vice President Al Gore for raising awareness of global warming and its impact on the Earth.
Some critics are concerned that whatever steps are taken to combat global warming will harm the agriculture industry."

Washington Post - Bush finally warms to warming - At end of term, in search of a greener legacy, president highlights warming
Excerpt:
"People find all sorts of ways to lobby President Bush. Sometimes it comes in the form of a handwritten note slipped into his hand during a bill-signing ceremony.
Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-Del.) tried that last week when Bush signed energy legislation that will curb greenhouse gases. "Congratulations and good work," Carper recalled writing. "By the way, Joe Lieberman and John Warner have a very good global warming bill that needs your support and you ought to support it.""

Climatic Chain Reaction Caused Runaway Greenhouse Effect 55 Million Years Ago
Climatic Chain Reaction Caused Runaway Greenhouse Effect 55 Million Years Ago
Excerpt:
"Analogous to the Earth's current situation, greenhouse warming 55 million years ago was caused by a relatively rapid increase of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. This phase, known as the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM), was studied using sediments that accumulated 55 million years ago on the ocean floor in what is now New Jersey."

Greenland's Mysterious Holes Speed Ice Flow to Sea
Excerpt:
"If the Greenland ice cap were to melt tomorrow, the sea level around the world would rise by more than 20 feet.
The good news is that Greenland isn't going to melt in a flash. The bad news is that Greenland is slowly starting to release its water into the ocean in response to rising air temperatures."

Nations agree to reach global warming deal by 2009
Nations agree to reach global warming deal by 2009
Excerpt:
"World leaders overcame bitter divisions Saturday and agreed to reach a new deal on fighting global warming by 2009, turning a corner in mankind's race to stave off environmental disaster caused by rising temperatures.
The contentious, two-week U.N. climate conference on the resort island of Bali ended with the United States, facing angry criticism from other delegations, relenting in its opposition to a request from developing nations for more technological help fighting climate change.
The new deal does not commit countries to specific actions against global warming. It simply sets an agenda and schedule for negotiators to find ways to reduce pollution and help poor countries adapt to environmental changes by speeding up the transfer of technology and financial assistance."

Gore joins major venture capital firm
Gore joins major venture capital firm
Excerpt:
"Nobel Peace Prize winner and former Vice President Al Gore announced Monday he's joining Silicon Valley's most prestigious venture capital firm to guide investments that help combat global warming.
Gore, an environmental activist who won an Academy Award for his global warming documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," joins Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers as it and dozens of other venture firms headquartered in Silicon Valley expand beyond software, computer hardware, the Internet and biotechnology to so-called "clean-tech" investments worldwide.
Gore is expected to be a high-profile, active partner at Kleiner Perkins. He's already a senior adviser to Google Inc. and a member of the board at Apple Inc. Alliance for Climate Protection, the advocacy group he co-founded, is based in Palo Alto."

Family Planning, Population, and Global Warming
Family Planning, Population, and Global Warming
Excerpt:
"Every year, the world's population increases by 80 million people -- with most of the growth in developing nations. As the number of children a woman bears and raises has an inverse relationshipto her -- and her children's -- life expectancy and social mobility, improving the availability of family planning options is crucial to improving both public and economic health in these nations."
