POPSEnvironmentalists being used by Big Business? Lets not forget to remind the environmentalists about the PCB mess in the Hudson River that GE fought for years against cleaning up... lest they think GE is being noble here. Wasn't this also the same GE who was funneling weapons to Iran that were used to kill our troops in Iraq.

POPSgreenhouse gases pose threat to public health-EPA finds based on rigorous,per reviewed scientific analysis of 6 gases-carbon dioxide,methane,nitrous oxide,hydrofluorocarbons,perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride-the science shows that concentrations of these gases are at an all time high as a result of human emissions and they are likely the cause of the increase in average temperatures and other changes in our climate- and that these gases impact human health in several ways

POPSJunk Science: Global Warming's Trillion Dollar Giveaway A trillion dollars to special interest groups from this? Amazing, and what a waste. Forcing business to become less profitable and less effective, this surely is going to effect the 'free marketplace' in a negative way. But then they're not about 'free markets'--check out the book Freakonomics.

POPSUpbeat IPCC report point to an energy revolution. In its third and final key findings, the IPCC panel reports: ■ A cost of $US20-50 a tonne of atmospheric carbon would have a big impact on cutting harmful emissions. "It could lead to a power generation sector with low greenhouse gas emission by 2050." ■ This would allow renewable energy to have a 30 to 35 per cent share of total electricity supply by 2030. ■ Nuclear power would provide only an additional 2 per cent of the world's electricity supply by 2030 because it is too expensive, and "safety, weapons proliferation and waste remain as constraints". ■ Clean coal technology has the potential to make an important contribution by 2030. ■ Improving efficiency of energy supply and use would play a key role in reducing emissions by up to 30 billion tonnes a year by 2030.
