GLOBAL WARMING
This summer is 'what global warming looks like'
WASHINGTON (AP) — Is it just freakish weather or something more? Climate scientists suggest that if you want a glimpse of some of the worst of global warming, take a look at U.S. weather in recent weeks.By Seth Borenstein, AP Science Writer , July 04, 2012
Sea rise faster on East Coast than rest of globe
WASHINGTON — From Cape Hatteras, N.C., to just north of Boston, sea levels are rising much faster than they are around the globe, putting one of the world's most costly coasts in danger of flooding, government researchers report.By By Seth Borenstein, Associated Press , June 24, 2012
Ex-UN climate chief to AP: talks are rudderless
DURBAN, South Africa — Yvo de Boer said he left his job as the U.N.'s top climate official in frustration 18 months ago, believing the process of negotiating a meaningful climate agreement was failing. His opinion hasn't changed.By By Arthur Max, The Associated Press , December 04, 2011

Study: Warming to bring stronger hurricanes
WASHINGTON (AP) — Top researchers now agree that the world is likely to get stronger but fewer hurricanes in the future because of global warming, seeming to settle a scientific debate on the subject.February 21, 2010
Doesn’t feel like globe is warming
I suppose I shouldn’t poke fun of the people who have turned “global warming” into their own religion, but I am sincerely waiting for some warmer weather. I understand that global warming zealots are in line for billions of dollars of grants and other contracts, and I am fully aware of the almost comical e-mail leaks of scientists who manipulated data about the earth’s temperature.By Bernie Kuntz, Outdoors , January 15, 2010
Falling doctrine
A familiar philosophical question goes like this: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Here’s another: If a doctrine falls, will enough believers admit they were wrong and withdraw support for policies associated with it?By Cal Thomas, Tribune Media Services , January 15, 2010
Climate modification explored in new film
A new documentary that explores to what extent humans can or ought to control the Earth’s weather and climate shines a cameo light on a Fargo-based company that is a world leader in cloud seeding. The film, “Owning the Weather,” was screened during the recent climate summit held in Copenhagen, Denmark.By By Dave Olson, Forum Communications Co. , January 11, 2010
The Flathead Society
A mocker resents correction; he will not consult the wise.” (Proverbs 15:12) British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has taken the route of many who would rather call names than have a serious debate about “climate change.” He characterizes those who question “settled science” members of the “flat-earth” society. When people resort to name-calling it is a sign they have lost an argument.By Cal Thomas, Tribune Media Services , January 08, 2010
'Frozen Gore' sculpture in AK fuels warming debate

A green future that doesn’t exist
In the high desert of central Arizona, more than 5,000 miles from the hall in Copenhagen where negotiators struggled and failed to come up with a global-warming agreement, sits an aging and unfinished vision of the enviro-friendly, sustainable life that some climate-change activists foresee for us all. It’s called Arcosanti, created by the Italian architect Paolo Soleri in 1970, and it is the prototype of a green community of the future. The only problem is, it doesn’t work. And it never did.By Byron York, The Washington Examiner , January 06, 2010
Letter to the editor: Efforts to stop ‘global warming’ betray N.D. values
Approximately 140 jets carrying socialists, communists, fascists and political elite descended upon Copenhagen for the United Nations’ global warming summit. Amid freezing temperatures and a blizzard, they were chauffeured by approximately 1,200 limousines (some flown in). Inside they sipped champagne, ate caviar and plotted to keep the poor in poverty, destroy the middle class, transfer American wealth to brutal dictators and enrich themselves with cap-and-trade laws. Al Gore ridiculously claimed the polar ice caps would probably be gone by 2014.By Brent McCarthy , December 28, 2009
Gas could be the cavalry in global warming fight
An unlikely source of energy has emerged to meet international demands that the United States do more to fight global warming: It's cleaner than coal, cheaper than oil and a 90-year supply is under our feet.December 20, 2009
U.N. negotiators look to U.S.
U.N. climate negotiators looked Wednesday to the United States to bring fresh ideas — perhaps in the form of extra billions of dollars — to try to salvage a bare-bones political agreement by the end of the week on controlling global warming. The U.S. must find ways of meeting demands by a suspicious world on reducing greenhouse gas emissions without exceeding what Congress will allow. It must also find the cash in a tight budget.By By Arthur Max, The Associated Press , December 17, 2009
‘Take me to your climate leader’
“Politicians talk, leaders act” read the sign outside the Bella Center in Copenhagen on the opening day of the United Nations climate summit. Inside the convention center, the official delegations from 192 countries, hundreds of NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) — an estimated 15,000 people in all — are engaging in two weeks of meetings aiming for a global agreement to stave off catastrophic global climate change. Five thousand journalists are covering the event.By Amy Goodman, Hearst Newspapers , December 11, 2009
