- Global dimming and climate change
- There's now a summary of the current research findings on global dimming. That is essentially the measurement of the amount of solar radiationthat reaches the earth's surfacer at a given point. Highly relevant to weather, climate, temperatures. The findings are published in a special edition of the Journal...

- Geo-engineering: further discussion
- Here's one Euro-mag that contrasts the "quick fix" approach of geo-engineering vs. humans actually changing our heavy use of fossil fuels. Think of this approach as: "I won't stop drinking so where's the hangover cure?" Here's one report that sees the Royal Society report I blogged as...a call...

- "Meat has a carbon footprint?" This blogger must be ignorant!
- One talkback on my locavore blog says; "Meat has a carbon footprint? I guess all the carbon in that cow comes from pixie dust, eh? Or maybe we drill oil out of the ground and grow cows out of it." Wow! Carbon footprint is a tough concept, I see....

- Ford says its greening paint, regardless of the paint's color
- Putting paint onto new cars entails off-gassing, heating, drying, some intensive engergy-use. At least that's how it used to be. Ford says it is now converting plants to a new process that applies three layers one after the other. Simplifies, shortens and fredcues energy needs of the...

- Bathing the earth in acid?
- The head of NOAA says global warming has an evil twin. It's a variety of oceanic acid stomach. The chemistry is pretty straight forward for those who managed first-year chemistry in high school. CO2 + H20 = H2CO3. That would be carbonic acid, not the...

- Carbon Wars in the U.S. Senate
- The Waxman-Markey bill passed the House by seven votes. It will be mucher closer than that if and when the 100-member U.S. Senate votes on their version of this bill. Every carbon-conscious lobbyists and arm-twister in D.C. is already at work. Today the man with the bully...

- Renewable energy is only a patch--MSFT research head
- Stop the release of CO2 says Craig Mundie. Any way and every way. Doesn't Craig understand that it's always about making a profit and you do that by selling more energy, even renewable...not by cutting down on CO2. That's generally a costly public service like clean water...

- Environmental groups dump on "global warming" bill
- A gang of environmental groups are calling the current proposed energy and security act a sham, another government giveaway. The bill has just passed out of the House Committee where debate was held. Here's the crux of some environmnentalists' complaint: "As passed through the Energy and...

- Climate WARS in WARShington
- The latest round in the battle over CO2 centers around a document that says CO2 regulation would cost money! The Environmental Protection Agency has made a finding this year that would enable it to begin regulation of CO2 emissions for the first time in U.S. history. [poll id="133"]...

- Let's put CO2 underground, and then...
- Researchers in Britain took a serious look at what happens if we do "sequester" or dump or pump our excess CO2 underground. Surprise, the gas does NOT adhere to the rocks. It either forms bubbles or dissolves in underground water. Carbon capture is a global...

- Algae to the rescue
- There are estimates that 60% of the greenhouse gas emissions are CO2. And some engineers at Ohio State think they've found the best use for all that excess CO2: growing algae.Here's their proposal: large scale bioreactors. The CO2 is pumped into water tanks where it is dissovled in...

- H2O + CO2 = CH4, thanks to Archaeans
- Researchers at Penn State have found a friendly microbe that'll take our excess CO2, add some water, a charge of electricity, and return us methane. The original purpose of the portable electrolysis cell research: producing H2. But if you get lemons, make.... It's long been...

- EPA, CO2 and reality
- I recently blogged about the EPA's finding that CO2 and other greenhouse gases are detrimental to public health. Then some unkind realist sen me the following email, replete with actual historic perspective, often so deleterious to blind optmisim: "Mr. Fuller. Look at the original clean air act,...

- Time to hug a tree...in gratitude
- Trees may be saving our bacon, and preventing our bakin'. New research shows that global warming has increased the growth in the surviving tropical forests. That in turn means the trees there are absorbing CO2 at a much higher rate than anticipated, thus helping thwart the CO2 build-up that...

- Oops, this is happening faster than predicted
- Greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide are accumulating faster than predicted. Now scientists are saying that global warming is going to happen much faster than the current U.N. commission's warnings. One leader of the the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said the nations of the world face two choices...

- Will talking stop the flow of hot air and CO2?
- Scientists from dozens of nations are hoping they can fire up the political powers to cool down the planet. In a preliminary gathering in Copenhagen next month, the world's climate watchers are hoping to generate interest and momentum to get national governments to take more aggressive action to combat...
