Christian Science Monitor: Over the next seven years, aggressive efforts to tackle greenhouse-gas emissions from power plants, refineries, and pipelines, and especially to boost energy efficiency, could still keep the world on track to meet its goal of holding increases in global average temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. Whats more, those efforts need not come at the expense of a profitable energy sector, a concern that has fueled opposition to international agreements on curbing emissions and...

Wall Street Journal: Might it be that it was Ronald Reagan and not Barack Obama who began to slow the rise of the seas? That is one conclusion that could be drawn from a new paper by Canadian physicist Qing-Bin Lu of Ontario's University of Waterloo. Instead of carbon dioxide emissions, Mr. Lu argues that ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other halocarbons caused global warming. Thanks to the Reagan administration and the 1987 Montreal Protocol, CFCs have been phased out by developed countries. After a lag,...

Global Warming Caused by CFCs, Not Carbon Dioxide, Researcher Claims in Controversial Study

ScienceDaily: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are to blame for global warming since the 1970s and not carbon dioxide, according to a researcher from the University of Waterloo in a controversial new study published in the International Journal of Modern Physics B this week. CFCs are already known to deplete ozone, but in-depth statistical analysis now suggests that CFCs are also the key driver in global climate change, rather than carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the researcher argues. "Conventional thinking says...

Is More Global Warming Hiding in the Oceans?

US News and World Report: A man enjoys the ocean after sunset in 2012 on Ngapali Beach, Myanmar, located on the shores of the Andaman Sea. The HMS Challenger set sail 135 years ago. It was the world's first scientific survey of ocean life. But the HMS Challenger also studied ocean temperatures along the way by dropping thermometers attached to Italian hemp ropes hundreds of meters deep -- an effort that has been used as a baseline for global warming in oceans since pre-industrial times. Now, according to a new study,...

Science Group Criticizes Politicians for Global Warming Distortions

New York Times: Its great to see the Union of Concerned Scientists offering nonpartisan criticism of elected officials for distorting in both directions whats known about the role of human-driven global warming on several fronts, from tornado ferocity to hurricane losses. Heres the statement the group circulated to reporters this morning: We recently noticed a small flurry of policymaker statements on climate change that struck us as inaccurate or misleading. At the same time, weve received several...
