  2. Coal seam gas is no solution to climate change

    www.sixdegrees.org.au via @sixde6rees  &bull 2 Hours Ago

    The coal seam gas industry is fond of positioning itself as a solution to climate change. They have managed to convince the Queensland Government of this - Queensland has set a target of 18% of domestic energy to be provided by gas by 2020. But much like the earlier claims of the fossil fuel industry that so-called 'clean coal' would solve the climate crisis, the arguments about the climate… Full Story »

  4. Investing in Tropical Trees

    co2tropicaltrees.blogspot.com via @dexterdombro  &bull Yesterday

    This blog is about why tropical tree investing is low risk high return. It includes co2 sequestration, the science of tropical trees, endangered wildlife and afforestation and reforestation activities in Vichada, Colombia. The author is Dexter Dombro. Some people worry about making an investment in tropical trees, because they can't predict what economic conditions might be like in 10 year's time. Fear of another recession or economic slow-down with a consequent possible decline in lumber, building material, pulp or furniture sales has them worried.… Full Story »

  10. Tax versus Trade -- ( Regarding the Rationale for the Global Warming Hoax and CO2 as cause )

    www.freerepublic.com via @conservatweet  &bull Yesterday

    I feel like I keep stating the obvious. A carbon tax is bad because its unnecessary and nobody wastes money better than big government, but a carbon trading scheme is worse. The latter is a fake market that feeds corruption and creates its own vested industry of financial brokers who profit no matter what the price and no matter who buys or sells (they just need a government mandated scheme that forces businesses to buy and sell), and no matter whether anything useful happens to… Full Story »

  13. Death by Growth: What the Climate-Bill Autopsies Missed - STWR - Share The World's Resources

    www.stwr.org via @steadystater  &bull Yesterday

    As long as economic growth remains the number one priority of governments, any effort to seriously address climate change will fail. Policymakers in the US and around the world should instead aim to create a steady-state economy that prioritises sustainability and well-being, argues Keith Harrington. By now the corpse of the climate bill has been so thoroughly autopsied, that examining it any further seems almost inhumane. A whole army of coroners have weighed in, suggesting an array of possible causes of death: Republican obstructionism, failed presidential leadership, a weak climate movement, the wrong policy approach, the recession. Each one of… Full Story »
