Global Warming News Sunday September 3rd 2006
Global warming fallout near
If you're feeling the heat in the share market, just take a look outside. The temperature is soaring, the sea level is rising and the weather is becoming more extreme. But the threat posed by global warming is not just environmental – investors are also being warned to batten down their portfolios. "While no one is absolutely certain about the effects of global warming, you need to construct your portfolio so that you have a bet each way," says Steve Johnson, managing director of The Intelligent Investor.
Girdwood to play host for mayors conference on climate change
Mayors from 17 states - from Florida to Hawaii - will gather in Girdwood Sept. 16-18 to address global climate change issues. Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich, who will participate in the workshops, said cities across the United States need to react quickly to address climate change. "We need to take concrete steps now to make our communities more resilient to climate change, and we have a responsibility to put in place cost-saving, efficient strategies to reduce our emissions".
Cameron calls for emissions law
Conservative leader David Cameron has joined environmental campaigners in calling for a law on climate change to be promised in the next Queen's speech. In a letter to Tony Blair, green groups are pressing for legislation that would set targets for 3% annual cuts in greenhouse gases across the UK economy. Friends of the Earth say the measure should have cross-party support and the Lib Dems have also signed the letter. The government says the important point is how to meet existing targets.
UK 'can expect extreme rainfall'
Britain can expect more tropical-style rainfall as climate change gathers pace, according to research carried out by Newcastle University. Scientists said extreme conditions that are likely to lead to flooding have become more common and intense over the last 40 years. They found that rainstorms have doubled in intensity in places like eastern Scotland and north-east England. Storms are also becoming more intense in autumn, threatening flood defences.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Green Gov. leads the way against global warming
Days after the progressive blue state of California passed legislation restricting greenhouse gas emissions, Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said fighting for environmental issues is important, even if that meant opposing President Bush. "I don't think one should look at greenhouse gas emissions or global warming as a political issue," Schwarzenegger told ABC News. "So, if that policy of fighting global warming is against the Bush Administration, then so be it."
Gore’s global warning about global warming
Al Gore has gotten over his 2000 presidential defeat by hanging chads in Florida and the U.S. Supreme Court. He has always been an environmental advocate; now it’s his cause celebre. “An Inconvenient Truth” is the companion book to Gore’s documentary film, recently shown in Columbia. Gore wants us to understand the Earth is reaching a point where, if we don’t do something soon about global warming, it will be too late to do anything. Using dramatic “before and after” photographs and graphics, the book shows the distinct changes that have occurred in the last 100 years, with more emphasis on the last 20 or so.
Global Warming
Can Americans get off the dime on global warming? Is it OK to just wait for a more enlightened administration in Washington? Across the country, pioneering citistate regions - Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis and others - have begun to define directions we all need to take. And, last week, a deal could make California the first state to restrict all greenhouse emissions. Portland was the clear early leader, pledging in 1993 to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gas-triggering carbon dioxide to 10 percent below 1990 levels by 2010. With surrounding Multnomah County, it's on track to meet the goal through a mix of dramatic public-transit expansions, biking and walking trails, insisting on "green" new building designs, replacing traffic light bulbs with ultra-efficient light-emitting diodes, planting 750,000 carbon dioxide-absorbing trees and plants and more.
