Climate change is used to justify the most insane political decisions, but for once it is used for a sensible decision. Although there is no direct link between climate change and the drought in Australia, the Aussies have decided to give plants bred with molecular plant breeding techniques (a.k.a. GMO's in politically correct greenspeak) a chance. The problem in Australia is that irrigation has led to droughts and high salinity, but we can blame global warming. As long as they…

University Park, Pa. — To date, most research associated with global climate change has focused on determining whether it really is happening, and trying to gauge how much — and how fast — average temperatures and precipitation levels will change.

Northeastern environmental scientist finding could improve global warming forecast models

BOSTON, Mass. A Northeastern University researcher today announced that he has found that the soil below oak trees exposed to elevated levels of carbon dioxide had significantly higher carbon levels than those exposed to ambient carbon levels. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that elevated carbon dioxide levels are increasing carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems and slowing the build-up of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is thought to…

Glenn Schleede, the intrepid energy analyst, has done another bang-up job of identifying the weaknesses of yet another wind power project. This time his sights are set on West Virginia, and the prognosis is bleak.

One wind farm is already in operation in West Virginia, another has been approved by the Public Service Commission, and a third application is still pending. The amount of power produced from the three plants, assuming a generous 30 percent capacity factor, would equal a little…
