Not exact matches

What simply amazes me (TonyB seems to agree) is that U.K. and other jurisdictions have enacted laws to mandate greenhouse gas reductions with HUGE impact on the taxpayers» lives without any evidence that they have even thought about the effectiveness of their programs in actually reducing global warming.

My answer to the narrowed question: • Identify adaptation policies that can be implemented to reduce impacts of extreme weather events (which will happen with or without greenhouse driven global warming) • Research on nuclear energy to reduce the stigma of nuclear generation, e.g., fast reactors (Generation 4 reactors) or thorium fueled.

Note that I am not saying that warming has not taken place just that it is not global — BEST admits that 30 % of the stations have cooled and that is true of severla of therse long term stations — but that we should concentrate on finding a useful set of temperature trends in regional and zonal areas that reflect the impacts of climate change, as for example the Sahel, and understand the true reasons without assuming carbon dioxide to be the culprit.

* that BP is funding research into «ways of tackling the world's climate problem» at Princeton University to the tune of $ 2 million per year for 15 years * that BP is funding an energy research institute involving two other US universities to the tune of $ 500 million — the aim of which is «to develop new sources of energy and reduce the impact of energy consumption on the environment» * that ExxonMobil itself has donated $ 100 million to Stanford university so that researchers there can find «ways to meet growing energy needs without worsening global warming»

Turn Down the Heat: Climate Extremes, Regional Impacts, and the Case for Resilience (Read it in Issuu, Scribd, Open Knowledge Repository) takes the climate discussion to the next level, building on a 2012 World Bank report that concluded from a global perspective that without a clear mitigation strategy and effort, the world is headed for average temperatures 4 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial times by the end of this century.

The study, using complex climate modeling software to simulate changes in forest cover and then measuring the impact on global climate, found that northern forests tend to warm the Earth because they absorb a lot of sunlight without losing much moisture.
