Acting together.
An agreement between Wisconsin and Michigan to cooperate on climate change has much potential, especially if other states join the effort. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Wisconsin. Editorial, 8 September 2010.
No on 23.
Even if critics are correct that human activity isn't the sole cause, reducing carbon emissions will result in cleaner air and a healthier environment while encouraging expansion of cutting-edge industries. Santa Rosa Press Democrat, California. Editorial, 8 September 2010.
Planning for drought.
Few things are more vital to life than water, for drinking and a dozen other daily uses, for farming and industry but also because our waterways contribute so much to the quality of life in Connecticut. They must be protected. Bristol Press, Connecticut. Editorial, 8 September 2010.
More ‘green’ power means big dividends elsewhere.
The inventors of radio and television and then the Internet had no idea their creations would provide humankind life-changing benefits. The change to new energy sources is bound to mean just as much good for the world, even more if the life of the planet is saved from human abuses. Idaho Mountain Express, Idaho. Editorial, 8 September 2010.
Future depends on producing cleaner energy.
Passing cap-and-trade legislation is problematic, but pushing for and creating clean-energy initiatives at the local level aren't. Cumberland County Daily Journal, New Jersey. Editorial, 7 September 2010.
Reneging on solar-rebate promise will cloud Florida's credibility.
Lawmakers have a right to decide if Florida should be a leader in solar power and whether rebates should continue to be part of the initiative. But they had no business killing a program without first providing enough money to pay the rebates that had been promised. Tampa Tribune, Florida. Editorial, 7 September 2010.
President Obama is right to back lawsuit of carbon emissions.
Environmentalists were unhappy with President Obama after climate legislation foundered in the Senate. A week and a half ago, their blood came to a boil after the administration sided with the TVA, a federal entity, in a lawsuit over power plant carbon emissions. Washington Post. Editorial, 7 September 2010.
Time for Rajendra Pachauri to go.
When the IPCC's governing body meets in South Korea next month, it should seek a new chair - preferably a scientist of stature from outside the climate research establishment. That will give it the best chance of re-establishing the credibility it must have. New Scientist. Editorial, 7 September 2010.
Cap and trade is dead. Long live cap and trade.
Cap and trade is complicated, making it easy to demagogue. Keep in mind, however, that the basic idea is sound, and the pressure from global warming is certain to increase over time. Chicago Tribune, Illinois. Editorial, 6 September 2010.
Why the IPCC 's romance novelist must resign.
Rather than waiting for ousters, IPCC Chairman Rajendra Pachauri should do the right thing and step aside. He is too tainted and his continued presence as chairman undermines the broader message of the dominant scientific view that things are getting hotter. Calgary Herald, Alberta. Editorial, 6 September 2010.
Voters should endorse cleaner energy by rejecting Proposition 23.
Arguably the most significant decision facing California voters in November is Proposition 23. It seeks to suspend implementation of Assembly Bill 32, the state's far-reaching law to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote renewable sources energy. Oakland Tribune, California. Editorial, 5 September 2010.
We must change our lives, not just our driving habits.
While welcoming Holyrood’s moves to reduce carbon emissions from cars, this newspaper recognises that our politicians have some way to go to persuade the public of our responsibility to change our lives to make them more sustainable. Glasgow Herald, United Kingdom. Editorial, 5 September 2010.
Face facts: Climate change is unfolding as predicted.
The wildfires in Russia, the floods in Pakistan and the record heat this summer in New Jersey have one thing in common: They are exactly the kind of symptoms scientists predicted we’d experience as global warming occurs. Newark Star-Ledger, New Jersey. Editorial, 3 September 2010.
The EPA's new gas-mileage labels are good but not perfect.
The EPA is asking for comments on its proposed new gas mileage stickers for automobiles -- so here's ours. On the whole, both of the agency's two suggested alternative stickers represent much-needed improvement over current fuel-economy labeling. Washington Post. Editorial, 3 September 2010.
Climate-change assessment: Must try harder.
Whoever leads the IPCC, the governments - and, indeed, Mr Ban - should make sure that there is a well-thought-out structure, and perhaps some expert special advisers, put in place in order to see to it that change happens. Economist. Editorial, 3 September 2010.
Climate change: The ways of a warmer world.
It is refreshing to read books which look at the warming to come not as a frightful warning, nor as a fait accompli, but as something to which, at some levels of change, people will have to adapt - and which in some settings they may adapt to rather well. Economist. Editorial, 3 September 2010.
Time for a change in climate research.
Now it is time to implement fundamental reforms that would reduce the risk of bias and errors appearing in future IPCC assessments, increase transparency and open up the whole field of climate research to the widest possible range of scientific views. London Financial Times, United Kingdom. Editorial, 3 September 2010.
Climate of uncertainty.
Our understanding of how our climate works is still evolving. Is it too much to ask the climate establishment to acknowledge as much? Wall Street Journal. Editorial, 2 September 2010.
Call to protect estuary timely.
Despite concerns about the environmental impact caused by encroaching industry, public interest in the future of the Nanaimo Estuary has been negligible. But introduce the world-wide topics of climate change and carbon reduction, and people just might sit up and take notice. Nanaimo News Bulletin, British Columbia. Editorial, 2 September 2010.
Paying attention to climate change: Glad scientists are helping us.
Although there are those who want to deny the climate is changing and the world is getting warmer, it's fortunate that some do not. Anniston Star, Alabama. Editorial, 2 September 2010.
The road to rebuilding trust in climate science.
Couched though it is in the most measured language, Monday's report by the Inter-Academy Council into errors contained in the fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is extremely damaging. Vancouver Sun, British Columbia. Editorial, 2 September 2010.
Cleaner cars, A to D.
Proposed stickers for vehicles would make it easier to see whether you're buying a fuel-efficient one or a guzzler. The stickers are a symbol of how far this country has come in providing a wider range of environmentally responsible choices to help ensure cleaner air and a healthier planet. New York Times. Editorial, 1 September 2010.
Somebody been drinking ethanol?
An ethanol manufacturing company that filed bankruptcy last year is ready to reopen two plants as soon as California's energy commission comes across with millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies. Orange County Register, California. Editorial, 1 September 2010.
EPA's attempt to ban lead in hunting ammunition based on politics, not law.
Last week the news broke that a cadre of unelected bureaucrats were considering a petition filed by the Center for Biological Diversity that would ban the use of lead in ammunition used by hunters and shooters and lead in weights used by fishermen. Lufkin Daily News, Texas. Editorial, 1 September 2010.
A federal judge puts a damper on Mr. Cuccinelli's U-Va. witch hunt.
The overblown critique of climate science that emerged early this year continues to underwhelm. But that hasn't dampened Mr. Cuccinelli's zeal, at least so far. But we hope he rethinks his course. Washington Post. Editorial, 31 August 2010.
Three degrees is at least one too many.
The heat rises inexorably yet the world dithers and looks away. None of the excitement that surrounded the opening stages of the climate summit at Copenhagen last year looks like materialising this November at Cancun in Mexico. London Independent, United Kingdom. Editorial, 31 August 2010.
TVA takes a bold step toward a cleaner future.
The Tennessee Valley Authority is taking a step in the right direction by reducing its reliance on coal-fired plants to produce electricity. Knoxville News Sentinel, Tennessee. Editorial, 31 August 2010.
Climate change: The facts of life.
Reminders of the reality of climate change are now reported almost every week. Political action – real, determined and concerted action – seems again improbable. But it also remains more urgent than ever. London Guardian, United Kingdom. Editorial, 31 August 2010.
Climate debate: Time to move on.
Climategate has succeeded in demonstrating that scientists are not infallible and that they can be idiosyncratic and petty. But the clear weight of scientific evidence and the expert consensus show that global warming is undeniably getting worse. Toronto Star, Ontario. Editorial, 31 August 2010.
Flawed science.
Couched though it is in the most measured language, yesterday's report by the Inter-Academy Council into errors contained in the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is extremely damaging. London Daily Telegraph, United Kingdom. Editorial, 31 August 2010.
