At a time when carbon emissions are continuing to rise and many countries are facing economic problems, it is time to examine whether these subsidies are really necessary.

Fourier, Tyndall, and Arrhenius established that H2O and CO2 were main factors in warming the Earth, with changes in CO2 concentrations being the primary driving force and H2O being a feedback to changes in the CO2 levels. Research since then has confirmed their findings, and their theories have been borne out by the global warming we have experienced since their day. It is hard to believe that any credible scientist would reject such well-established theories.

Nominations are now open for those who have most affected the environment by words or action. Please nominate those you think deserve the honor by January 31st, 2013.

He also voices skepticism toward the climate Skeptics' "facts" and shows what you can find out with a little research and thinking.

That idea is incorrect but it has been spread by his political party, political pundits who claim to be conservative, and certainly the oil companies who would profit from Romney's policies. .

This article describes two recent examples of that.

Recent research by Hansen et al. has shown that analysis of the normal distribution of weather events by decade clearly shows the link and allows the calculation of probabilities associated with extreme temperatures.
