...climate wars are far from over, and there are still dissidents emerging to challenge the green mainstream. Unlike past skeptics, they accept the basics of global warming but question its severity and challenge the orthodox faith that Kyoto Protocol-style mandatory carbon cuts are the best way to save the planet. Call them the bad boys of environmentalism: gadflies like the Danish economist Bjorn Lomborg, who just came out with the book Cool It, and rebel greens like the political consultants Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger, who detail their apostasy in Break Through. While their solutions may be flawed...
...samples were allegedly taken, only three were ever sent for analysis. Nobody knows what happened to the other two, or if they even existed. Other factors about Paul's blood - like the presence of prescription drugs that none of his doctors remember prescribing for him, and high levels of carbon monoxide that nobody can account for - have some observers questioning the reliability of the tests. The legal team representing Dodi's dad, Mohamed Al Fayed, are claiming that the blood tested wasn't even Paul's, which Baker responded to - but not really - when he said that DNA tests "appear...
...waiver, “the green space [designated in the Science Complex plans] is in a private, enclosed space encircled by four buildings.” In this vein, we hope that Harvard will keep in mind that its impact on the environment cannot be entirely quantified by carbon emissions and solar energy production statistics. The Allston campus should improve the Allston environment in the broadest sense as well—even if this is not the type of commitment that can be written into an ENF. It is essential, for example, that Soldier’s Field Road...
...just because of the Tastes of the World cocktail reception at the Sheraton on Thursday evening. As part of his Clinton Climate Initiative, launched in August 2006, the former President has brought together business and philanthropy to generate locally focused efforts to reduce energy use and carbon emissions. While President Bush offered mostly empty rhetoric, on Friday afternoon Clinton reeled off pledge after concrete pledge for his climate initiative: $150 million to harness geothermal energy in Africa, $5 million for the Alliance for Climate Protection in the U.S., $210 million for carbon offsetting in the developing world. While UN action...
...what is Washington doing? While it's heartening that President Bush now does seem to believe that global warming is real, this week's meeting of the world's major carbon emitters offered no evidence that he is willing to meet the climate challenge. The President continued to reject Kyoto-style mandatory caps on carbon emissions and instead endorsed an "international clean technology fund" to finance alternative energy projects in developing nations. Nice idea, but meaningless without real spending to back it up. "Bush says we need technology, but spends no money," says Nordhaus. "Bush says we need to reduce...
