"We basically have three choices: mitigation, adaptation and suffering. We’re going to do some of each. The question is what the mix is going to be. The more mitigation we do, the less adaptation will be required and the less suffering there will be."
-John Holdren, AAAS president

What about the rest of you?

Don't the rest of you people ever get sick of Coby Beck and these wall-to-wall leftist CUNTS pretending this is scientific and none of them will ever come up with any evidence?

I will break the nose of any of these lying marxist cunts if I see them.

NOW CAN WE HAVE SOME FUCKING EVIDENCE FOR A CHANGE COBY YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE.

I don't think thats too much to ask.

Graeme Bird sez:

I'm OK.

And you are NOT ok

Another Week of GW News, June 10, 2007

It's always nice to start with a larf:

BAS has reported that Antarctic Peninsula glaciers are moving faster:

Tropical cyclone Gonu in the Arabian Gulf received a lot of attention:

Otherwise, the hurricane wars are warming up:

While GHGs are still going up:

And on the el Niño/la Niña [ENSO] front:

Glaciers are melting:

UNEP has released a Global Outlook for Ice and Snow report:

Sea levels are rising:

Many commented on the NASA-NOAA report about the loss of US climate satellites:

More GW impacts are being seen:

And then there are the tropical rainforests:

Yes we have no wacky weather, except:

And speaking of floods & droughts:

On a quirky note, falling waters are revealing drowned history on opposite sides of the world:

The conflict between biofuel and food persists:

And the troubling matter of falling food production is not going away:

Elsewhere on the mitigation front:

Consider aviation & GHG production:

And other forms of transportation as well:

And on the carbon sequestration front:

Large scale geo-engineering keeps popping up:

Meanwhile in the journals:

Before we get into politics, there was some science done:

Meanwhile on the Kyoto front:

And on the emissions trading front:

The idea of a carbon tax is still bouncing around:

The debate over the optimal strategy [carbon trading, carbon offsets and/or a carbon tax] to use in dealing with GHGs continues:

Meanwhile in international politics, the G8 had a meeting; did nothing:

And on the American political front:

The coal lobby has struck back with a particularly retrogresssive energy bill:

Not to be outdone Rahall struck a blow against renewables:

The Detroit automobile industry is lobbying DC to let them make themselves obsolete:

Several guides to the presidential candidate positions on GW have appeared:

The Gore-apalooza is still bopping along:

While in the UK:

And in Europe:

Meanwhile in Australia:

While in China:

While in Japan:

And in Canada, the minority neocons continue their policy of doing as little as possible:

Harper came out of G8 looking like either a liar or a puppet:

Elizabeth May, the leader of the Greens, has taken the politically bold step of advocating a revenue-neutral federal carbon tax:

So are the Tories above sikking Revenue Canada on Suzuki?

The tricky question of the oil sands looms:

Apocalypso anyone?

As for how the media handles the science of climatology:

Joseph has started commenting on specific stories:

Here is something for your library:

And for your film & video enjoyment:

Meanwhile in the 'Sue the Bastards!' contingent:

Developing a new energy infrastructure is the fundamental challenge of the current generation:

The arithmetic of coal carbon is striking home:

Biofuel bickering abounds:

The nuclear energy controversy continues:

And then there is the matter of efficiency & conservation:

Automakers & lawyers, engineers & activists argue over the future of the car:

The reaction of business to climate change will be critical:

The carbon lobby are up to the usual:

The Cockburn saga grinds on:

As does the Griffin saga:

James Hansen raised a few eyebrows:

Then there was the usual news and commentary:

And here are a couple of sites you may find interesting and/or useful:
