The Kyoto Protocol is an obvious failure in its mandate to enjoin countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, and quite ironically, ‘global carbon-dioxide emissions have grown by 25% since the protocol was adopted in 1997.’
There are glaring reasons why the soon-to-expire Kyoto Protocol did not succeed. This treaty left out of the [...]

As found by some top international climate experts, there is a ‘critical, but fixable, error in the accounting method used to measure compliance with carbon limits.’ The flaw involves ‘the measurement of CO2 emissions from the use of bioenergy.’ If the said flaw remains uncorrected, the measures by which to meet the rightful goals towards [...]

The Kyoto Protocol which did not achieve general success is about to expire. To replace it is the new climate treaty that will be forged in Copenhagen this December. More than thought of as a historic global agreement, the Copenhagen treaty is ‘the culmination of a 20-year process,’ and is ‘the last chance to save [...]

Many find the global discussion of deforestation a tired one, most especially with those who cannot directly relate to this particular environmental malaise. Much less is their capacity to correlate deforestation with worldwide carbon emissions. Fact is ‘deforestation accounts for 20%-25% of worldwide carbon emissions, whereas the global transportation sector currently accounts for the same [...]

Al Gore, the biggest and noisiest pusher, mover, and shaker of global warming politics repeatedly claims that 98 percent of scientists agree with him. He also urges media to ignore the climate skeptics. Cynical politics may be redundant, but it’s hard to imagine a more cynical political issue than global warming. The underlying agenda of [...]

Representatives from the US and the European Union (EU) were optimistic about the possibility of reaching a global agreement to combat climate change, but stated that the negotiations for a new climate treaty will be anything but easy. After two days of meetings of the 17 largest and emerging economies in the world, there [...]

Forest fires that cause deforestation and habitat loss are also responsible for 20% of carbon dioxide emissions. It is a phenomenon that feeds global warming. Fire and climate are a tandem that goes back at least 400 million years, since plants began to colonize the Earth.
It used to be that forest fires resulted from natural [...]

The Kyoto Protocol is intended to cut global emissions of greenhouse gases. This is an agreement among nations to reduce their carbon emissions. According to The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the objective is to achieve “stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference [...]

Official records reveal that the warmest winter ever was the winter of 1917. The warmest year that Greenland experienced was 1941, while the 1930s and 1940s were the warmest decades. These official data point to the fact that environmental alarmists are only propagating a scare movement that the earth’s temperature has been increasingly warming, and [...]

Watching Obama’s inaugural celebration made me cringe for Bush. If I were him, I would have wanted the earth to swallow me up during Obama’s inaugural address. All the things that the black president mentioned as problems, the colorful president practically caused. Bush was a failure on several counts, but his worst blunder was betraying [...]
