You underestimate the effect of heat retention compared to heat reflection. All major climate change has mostly been driven by the amount of heat that the atmosphere retains. What drives the heat-retaining quality of the atmosphere is the chemical composition of the atmosphere.

I don't know how you get from the report that the biodiversity is a "greater" risk than climate change other than an utterly thoughtless regurgitation of an inaccurate headline. The actual report cites climate change as one of the key drivers of loss of biodiversity. "The direct drivers of...

No. Actually several reviews have shown that climategate was nothing. In fact, Phil Jones is still Director of the CRU at the U of East Anglia -- it was proved he did nothing wrong. All climategate was, was the inability of non-scientists to follow the complex threads between scientists...

Actually, for the whole globe we are having record WARM temperatures. It is only because more populated areas are getting cold air this week that you get the impression that the earth has cooled. You can check it here: http://discover.itsc.uah.edu/amsutemps/ The average temperature on...

Religion is not found in the scientific journals. Look to the journals for the real research. Alternative solutions are tested and published monthly in the journals. Unfortunately no natural solution stands up to the test. Religion is faith-based, science is continually tested and the...

Use the ballot.

No. The whole purpose is to capture the total costs of decisions that companies make and to bring those costs into the decision-making process. If there is no damage caused to the world, then no costs should be attached to emitting greenhouse gasses. Only if a company is using a resource...

The IPCC has always called it Climate Change. In the U.S., the popularity of the "Climate Change" was iniated by the Bush Administration under the advice of Republican consultant Frank Luntz because in 2002 it sounds less frightening Read the memo. These were the Republican talking points...

The IPCC has always called it Climate Change. The memo you refer to is the Luntz memo in 2003. He's a communication consultant and in a memo to the White House, he recommended the Republicans use "Climate Change" because "'Climate change' is less frightening than 'global warming.' ...While...
