Global warming has been in and out as the "latest" hot topic for many years. It is, according to modern scientists, the result of man-made industrial pollutants, clearing forested areas, agriculture, etc. But now they are thinking it started way before the Industrial Revolution...Post Date: 6th Sep, 2007 - 7:59pm / Post ID: #

Fmr. Secretary of State George Shultz and Environmentalist Paul Ehrlich on Global Warming, Global Warring, China, Al Gore and the Environment
Democracy Now! broadcasts from Stanford University in California where the Society of Environmental Journalists is holding its 17th annual conference. On Wednesday night, the Aurora Forum held an event titled "Clean, Secure, and Efficient Energy: Can We Have It All?" Among the panelists was the still-highly influential George Shultz. He was President Reagan's secretary of state, as well as the head of Bechtel, and is now a distinguished fellow at the Hoover Institution. We play excerpts of Shultz speaking at the panel and we speak with Stanford University professor, environmentalist and author, Paul Ehrlich.

How Does the Media Cover Global Warming?
The Society of Environmental Journalists is holding its seventeenth annual conference at Stanford University this week. We take a look at how the issue of global warming is being covered in the media with two leading environmental journalists, Tim Wheeler of the Baltimore Sun and Jim Motavalli of E, The Environmental Magazine.

| Arvhic Absolute rubish. Prove it. Global warming and/or climate change is happening, there is no debate about this. |
And you hear nothing but "global warming" and the headlines day after day scream, "GLOBAL WARMING" and the headlines on this thread tell you it's getting warmer, what are people without a history going to believe? If you are young and don't remember when headlines screamed, "GLOBAL COOLING" you tend to think maybe it's true. No Arvhic, I wasn't around in 1816, but I can read.

| By Jerry Adler-NEWSWEEK Updated: 2:41 p.m. PT Oct 23, 2006 Oct. 23, 2006 - In April, 1975, in an issue mostly taken up with stories about the collapse of the American-backed government of South Vietnam, NEWSWEEK published a small back-page article about a very different kind of disaster. Citing "ominous signs that the earth's weather patterns have begun to change dramatically," the magazine warned of an impending "drastic decline in food production." Political disruptions stemming from food shortages could affect "just about every nation on earth." Scientists urged governments to consider emergency action to head off the terrible threat of . . . well, if you had been following the climate-change debates at the time, you'd have known that the threat was: global cooling. |

| R. TIMOTHY PATTERSON, Financial Post Published: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be starting into its weakest Schwabe solar cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading to unusually cool conditions on Earth. Beginning to plan for adaptation to such a cool period, one which may continue well beyond one 11-year cycle, as did the Little Ice Age, should be a priority for governments. It is global cooling, not warming, that is the major climate threat to the world, especially Canada. As a country at the northern limit to agriculture in the world, it would take very little cooling to destroy much of our food crops |

| Terence Corcoran, National Post Published: Saturday, September 16, 2006 Dramatic global temperature fluctuations, as New Scientist reports, are the norm. A Little Ice Age struck Europe in the 17th century. New Yorkers once walked from Manhattan to Staten Island across a frozen harbour. About 200 years earlier, New Scientist reminds us, a sharp downturn in temperatures turned fertile Greenland into Arctic wasteland. |
You adamant "warming" fans need to pick any search engine and type in "Global Cooling." Google had 4,070,000 hits on global cooling. This should tell you something like news papers are in business to sell papers, and a global scare story sells, so what do they write? What do their headlines scream? "GLOBAL WARMING!." Of course they are slowly changing from global warming to, "GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE." Too bad. I don't think "Change" is going to sell as many papers. Maybe someone would like to guess what the medias next "scare" is going to be. You know there will be one.

SCIENTISTS: DRAMATIC SEA ICE LOSS BY 2050
An analysis of 20 years' worth of real-life observations supports recent U.N. computer predictions that by 2050, summer sea ice off Alaska's north coast will probably shrink to nearly half the area it covered in the 1980s, federal scientists say.

BUSH VOWS TO LEAD IN UN CLIMATE CHANGE TALKS
The world's top greenhouse gas polluters, including the United States, have a "special responsibility" to produce fewer emissions, U.S. President George W. Bush said Friday, amid growing international pressure for the countries to accept binding targets on reducing emissions.

I don't know why Bush even gives these 60s hippies the time of day, but since he does, I'll guess why.
I didn't catch who said it. It was radio news. Somebody said Bush leading that meeting was like an atheist leading a prayer meeting.
| QUOTE |
| CBC News Meanwhile, NDP environment critic Nathan Cullen, who was in Washington to monitor the talks, dismissed the Bush-organized conference as a "photo op." |
Since nasty things are being said, again, I have no doubt George Bush already knew how it would be accepted. My guess is the next quote tells the story.
| QUOTE |
| CBC News He said each nation should establish for itself what "tools" it will use to rein in the pollution problem without stunting economic growth. But critics have said they fear the Bush administration might use its own negotiations to circumvent the talks and stir up support among other countries for voluntary emissions-reduction targets, instead of Kyoto's binding cuts. The two-day U.S. conference includes representatives from Canada, Australia, Britain, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia and South Africa. |
I don't know how "dirty" the other 14 countries are, but I have heard several times recently that China is bringing a coal fired electric generating plant on line every week. Nasty? Polluting? Really? Which means that at least one country at that meeting has no intention of worrying about (pardon the expression) "global warming," greenhouse gasses, or harming the environment.
That means if we ( the USA) do anything at all we are w-a-y ahead of most other countries, especially China. It also means Mr. Bush has outfoxed the hippies again.

Climate change blamed for fading foliage
Every fall, Marilyn Krom tries to make a trip to Vermont to see its famously beautiful fall foliage. This year, she noticed something different about the autumn leaves.

Leading Australian Scientist Tim Flannery on Global Warming and the Worsening Dangers of Climate Change Denial
We spend the hour with one of the world's leading scientists studying climate change, Tim Flannery. An Australian mammologist, palaeontologist and field zoologist, he has discovered and named more than thirty new species of mammals. He has been described as being in the league of all-time great explorers such as David Livingstone. Flannery might be best known as the author of the bestselling book "The Weather Makers: The History and Future Impact of Climate Change." Earlier this year he was named 2007 Australian of the Year.
