In a report published today by the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Wallingford, researchers analysed flooding trends across England for the last four decades and found there appears to be a trend for less summer flooding, but more rainfall in winter. Last July's floods were highly unusual, the researchers said.
The European Union wants developing countries to make more effort to cut their ballooning greenhouse gas emissions rather than rely on carbon offset schemes, a European Commission official said on Tuesday.
The Kyoto Protocol on global warming allows rich countries to meet binding targets on greenhouse gas emissions by funding cuts in developing nations.
This month, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released a study that concludes that more than 200 deaths could have been prevented in rollovers in 2006 if just a few more SUVs had roofs as strong as the best one it tested.
The study was heavily reported in the news and now, a number of well-meaning non-profits have taken up the cause of roof safety.
Which begs the question: where were these people last December, when Congress passed and the President signed an increase in fuel efficiency standards that will cost thousands of lives each year?
Coal-producing states that supply nearly half of the nation’s electricity are feeling squeezed as efforts to combat global warming outpace technology needed to make the nation’s most abundant fossil fuel burn more cleanly.
A national advertising campaign contrasting Al Gore's "energy-consuming lifestyle" with the need for energy in developing countries was launched by a conservative think tank Tuesday despite charges from global warming activists that the new effort merely recycles old attacks on the former vice president.
The global-warming skeptics at the Competitive Enterprise Institute launched a national ad today targeting — who else? — former Vice President Al Gore.
The $30,000 buy is small as far as national-ad campaigns go, but it will run on cable over the next two weeks in Boston, Phoenix, Orlando, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C.
The Christian denomination that was so ostracized (or admired, depending on your perspective) for resisting liberal modern-day pleas to conform to contemporary culture has finally caved in on so-called "climate change."

More evidence from the International Conference on Climate change last month which produced the Manhattan Declaration (see post below) of the way in which scientists who are sceptical about man-made global warming find their work is suppressed.
Previous estimates, including those used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, say the region that includes China will see a 2.5 to 5 percent annual increase in CO2 emissions, the largest contributor to atmospheric greenhouse gases, between 2004 and 2010. The new UC analysis puts that annual growth rate for China to at least 11 percent for the same time period.
