Image via Space4Case Why do some climate skeptics continue to claim that the earth is in the middle of a ‘global cooling trend’ despite the fact that every reliable source — NASA, NCAR, NOAA, etc — has shown temperature records proving otherwise? Why do climate deniers seem to revere satellite data? And why do some skeptics still blame global warming on solar activity? All interesting questions — and all are answered thoroughly in the video after the jump…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

China may be having some trouble coming to grips with its status as a nation that no longer truly qualifies as ‘developing’ — its per capita emissions are higher than France’s now — but it looks like it may not have much trouble realizing that relying on fossil fuels is for the economic giants of the past. Reports have surfaced that China plans to funnel as much as $738 billion into clean energy d… Read the full story on TreeHugger

As expected, the Kerry-Lieberman climate bill has grown weaker still, relinquishing an economy-wide cap on carbon emissions and instead targeting only the utility sector for greenhouse gas reductions starting in 2013. And that’s still apparently too controversial for this Senate, as the conventional wisdom says not even a utility-only bill can get enough votes to pass. So here’s what evidently remains of the mess that’s left on the table in terms of clean energy and climate legislation this year: … Read the full story on TreeHugger

These four scientists have recently testified before Congress about the urgent need to act on climate change, and the piece explains why. Here’s the gist of it: … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Yesterday, I noted that a debate on cap and trade hosted by Salon produced the same predictable arguments from the “right” perspective — that cap and trade is “a job-killing energy tax” and so forth. I had a little fun with the regurgitated, keyword-laden arguments laid out by Steve Everley of American Solutions , and called them misleading. This evidently drew his ire (or it could have been because I misspelled his name — sorry about that). Either way, he responded to my post with a lengthy rebuttal in th… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Debunking the GOP Claim that Cap and Trade is an "Energy Tax"
Photo via Keen Press Over the last year or so, you may have noticed politicians using less and less direct language to discuss climate change. According to some polls, Americans were growing skeptical that man was causing global warming, a trend abetted by fierce public relations efforts from the fossil fuel industry and the Climate Gate non-scandal , which the media did a supremely poor job of covering accurately. But now, the noise from those ruckuses have faded out, and scientists are recording brand new… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Is it Safe to Talk About Climate Change Again?
photo: Jeffery DelViscio via flickr With all the talk about getting the United States off of oil, energy independence, creating a low-carbon future, et cetera, one of the key parts of that is reducing carbon emissions, whether they are from electricity, transportation or wherever they occur. Central to that is setting a price on carbon emissions. What options are there to do this? Cap and trade may be the main option being considered, but both a cap and dividend approach, as well as a carbon tax have their vocal proponents. Let’s take a look at e… Read the full story on TreeHugger
