Bloomberg: A few weeks after it finishes hosting United Nations talks on limiting fossil-fuel emissions, Poland may decide to double the size of one of its biggest coal-burning power plants. Prime Minister Donald Tusk in June revived a $3.8 billion plan to expand the Opole electricity plant to guarantee security of power supplies, as it uses domestically mined coal. Next month, a final decision on the project is to be made by a government utility that owns Opole. The facility, along with Polands dependence...

As the United Nations gathers in Poland this week to assess international efforts to fight climate change, a report from development advocacy group Oxfam says there has been a lot of confusion and smoke and mirrors about who promised what. What is needed is certainty in uncertain times, Oxfam spokeswoman Kelly Dent said. The...

Deep Green Resistance: In June 1988, climatologist and NASA scientist James Hansen stood before the Energy and Natural Resources Committee in the United States Senate. The temperature was a sweltering 98 degrees. "The earth is warmer in 1988 than at any time in the history of instrumental measurements, Hansen said. The global warming now is large enough that we can ascribe with a high degree of confidence a cause-and-effect relationship to the greenhouse effect Our computer climate simulations indicate that the greenhouse...
