It’s the Sun, stupid
Four years ago, when I first started profiling scientists who were global warming skeptics, I soon learned two things: Solar scientists were overwhelmingly skeptical that humans caused climate change and, overwhelmingly, they were reluctant to go public with their views. Often, they refused to be quoted at all, saying they feared for their funding, or they feared other recriminations from climate scientists in the doomsayer camp. When the skeptics agreed to be quoted at all, they often hedged their statements, to give themselves wiggle room if accused of being a global warming denier. Continue reading

Aldyen Donnelly: Sticking it to the Canadians
After I read the original draft Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reporting regulations, I phoned US EPA contacts as well as some staff in Senate and House representatives offices and asked: Given that all major US stationary GHG sources and importers of carbon-based energy and building products are required to report GHGs from biomass use and will eventually be liable for domestic production and the US consumer end use GHGs:

Aldyen Donnelly: My carbon emission reductions are better than yours
I agree that climate change and national greenhouse gas emission reduction targets should be on the table for discussion at the G8 and G20 meetings.
I am appalled that the EU27’s current commitment is to reduce GHGs only 2.7% from 2005 levels by 2020. By comparison, Canada and the US have committed to cut GHGs 17% from 2005 levels by 2020.

Aldyen Donnelly: Carbon taxes and Canada’s true carbon-emissions ranking
A recent article in the Toronto Star, “Time to revisit the dreaded carbon tax” is riddled with some highly inaccurate reporting.

According to satellite data received by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, the Arctic was more ice bound each day of April than it had been any other corresponding day in April since its sensors began tracking the extent of Arctic Ice in mid 2002.
