How To Convince Republicans To Support A Carbon Tax
2013-07-08 16:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Insider: Just 44% of Republicans think there is "solid evidence" of climate change, according to a March Pew poll. Another poll this spring found 58% of Republicans think climate change is a "hoax." Yet the R Street Institute, a free-market think tank, hopes to rally conservatives to support a carbon tax as an alternative to regulatory approaches being implemented by the Obama Administration. Reihan Salam, Senior Fellow at R Street, sat down with me to discuss how you sell a carbon tax to a group of...

Sydney Morning Herald: It makes better financial sense for the native forests of southern NSW to remain un-logged and left to generate carbon credits, a new report suggests. NSW taxpayers would be able to generate carbon abatement, conservatively valued at about $222 million over the next 2½ decades, and use some of the money to fully compensate timber companies, according to the analysis by think tank The Australia Institute. The NSW government disagrees, saying the report is based on an unrealistically high...

NBC: Six to eight times a month, a Sherpa airplane with special instruments takes off from Fairbanks, Alaska, in search of data to answer the question: Is global warming causing changes to the environment that inevitably accelerate the climate change? That is the suspicion of Charles Miller, principal investigator for a research project that is focusing on greenhouse gas emissions in the skies above the Arctic tundra, the vast treeless region that produces only grasses and low brush during the brief...

Dangers of climate change must force NJ to reduce carbon footprint

Warren Reporter: I recently watched as President Obama laid out his plan to stem the rapid effects of climate change. While I listened to the president, I couldn`t help but to be reminded of Keep America Beautiful`s "Crying Indian" advertisement in the 1970s. As Iron Eyes Cody shed a tear after seeing all the damage caused by litterbugs, the narrator said, "People start pollution. People can stop it." It was true then, and it certainly is true now. Scientists began to recognize the dangers of burning fossil...

Draxs Sole Bid for Carbon Capture Funds Casts Doubt on EU Goals

Bloomberg: A European Union program to fund as many as 12 carbon capture projects attracted only one bid for the emissions-trapping technology, a proposal submitted by a venture between Drax Group Plc (DRX), Alstom SA (ALO) and BOC Group Ltd. The White Rose project applied under the second phase of the European Commissions NER300 program, said an official for the Capture Power Ltd. venture who asked not to be identified. It was the sole carbon-capture plan, the EC said on its website. The failure of the program,...
