Risk Linked To Distance From Power Plants
- Is the risk of autism greater for children who live closer to the

- shows a statistically

Before Fossil Fuels Earths Minerals Kept CO2in Check
- Over millions of years carbon dioxide levels in
the atmosphere have been moderated by a finely tuned natural feedback
systema system that human emissions have recently overwhelmed.
- to model how carbon dioxide released into
the atmosphere by volcanoes and other natural sources is ultimately recycled
via carbon-bearing minerals back into the crust.
- hundreds of thousands of years the
equilibrium between carbon dioxide input and removal was never more than
one to two percent out of balance, a strong indication of a natural feedback
system
- During Earth's history it
has probably helped to prevent runaway greenhouse and icehouse conditions
over time scales of millions to billions of years a prerequisite
for sustaining liquid water on Earth's surface.
- Carbon dioxide is added naturally to the atmosphere and oceans from
volcanoes and hydrothermal vents at a rate of about 0.1 billion tons of carbon
each year
- Human industrial activity and destruction of
forests is adding carbon about 100 times faster, approximately 10 billion
tons of carbon each year.
- We are emitting CO2
far too fast to expect mother nature to mop up our mess anytime soon. Continued
burning of coal, oil and gas will result in long-term changes to our climate
and to ocean chemistry, lasting many thousands of years.

Risk of Disease Rises With Water Temperatures
- When a 1991 cholera outbreak that killed thousands in Peru was traced
to plankton blooms fueled by warmer-than-usual coastal waters, linking disease
outbreaks to epidemics was a new idea
- it is a near-certainty that global warming will
drive significant increases in waterborne diseases around the world.
- From 1948 to 1994, heavy rainfall was correlated with more than half
of the nation's outbreaks of waterborne illness
- In one of the worst, torrential
rains in Milwaukee in 1993 triggered a sewage release that exposed 403,000
people to cryptosporidium, a protozoan parasite transmitted in fecal matter.
Fifty-four people died.

As More Eat Meat, a Bid to Cut Emissions - NYTimes.com
- The trillions of farm animals around the world generate 18 percent
of the emissions that are raising global temperatures, according to United
Nations estimates, more even than from cars, buses and airplanes.
- High-tech fixes include those like the project here, called
methane capture, as well as inventing feed that will make cows
belch less methane, which traps heat with 25 times the efficiency of carbon
dioxid
- slapping a sin tax on pork and beef
- ndeed, scientists are still trying to define the practical, low-carbon
version of a slab of bacon or a hamburger. Every step of producing meat creates
emissions.
- A sober
scientist, he suggests that the most attractive near-term solution
is for everyone simply to reduce meat consumption, a change he
says would have more effect than switching to a hybrid car.
- Producing a pound of beef creates 11 times as much greenhouse gas
emission as a pound of chicken and 100 times more than a pound of carrots,
according to Lantmannen, the Swedish group.
- Soy
cultivation has doubled in Brazil during the past decade, and more than half
is used for animal feed.
- Estimates of emissions from agriculture as a percentage of all emissions
vary widely from country to country, but they are clearly over 50 percent
in big agricultural and meat-producing countries like Brazil, Australia and
New Zealand.
- In the United States, agriculture accounted for just 7.4 percent
of greenhouse gas emissions in 2006
- The percentage was lower because the United States produces
extraordinarily high levels of emissions in other areas, like transportation
and landfills
- Others suggest including agriculture emissions in carbon cap-and-trade
systems, which currently focus on heavy industries like cement making and
power generation. Farms that produce more than their pre-set limit of emissions
would have to buy permits from greener colleagues to pollute.
- The leftover mineral slurry is an ideal fertilizer
that reduces the use of chemical fertilizers, whose production releases a
heavy dose of carbon dioxide.
- one question that troubles green farmers
is whether consumers will pay more for their sustainable meat.

Climate Fears Are Driving 'Ecomigration' Across Globe
- exploring ways
to move all its 100,000 citizens to a new homeland because of fears that
a steadily rising ocean will make the islands uninhabitable.
- There were about 25 million ecomigrants in the world a little more
than a decade ago
- In Bangladesh, about 12 million to 17 million people have fled their
homes in recent decades because of environmental disasters
- In the Philippines, upwards of 4 million people have moved from lowlands
to highlands as a result of deforestation

New Data Show Rapid Arctic Ice Decline
- The Arctic sea ice cover continues to shrink and become thinner,
according to satellite measurements and other data released yesterday, providing
further evidence that the region is warming more rapidly than scientists
had expected.
- The past six years have produced the six lowest maximums in
that record, and the new data show that the percentage of older, thicker
and more persistent ice shrank to its lowest level ever, at just 9.8 percent
of the winter ice cover.
- The new evidence -- including satellite data showing that the average
multiyear wintertime sea ice cover in the Arctic in 2005 and 2006 was nine
feet thick, a significant decline from the 1980s -- contradicts data cited
in widely circulated reports by Washington Post columnist George F. Will
that sea ice in the Arctic has not significantly declined since 1979.

Samuel Thernstrom - Climate Engineering: Thinking the Unthinkable on Global Warming
- Yet
a growing number of climate scientists and scholars believe that such efforts
are likely to be too little, too late to stop warming -- and that, consequently,
a broader view of our climate policy options is needed.

Samuel Thernstrom - Climate Engineering: Thinking the Unthinkable on Global Warming
- China's emissions exploded in the past decade; if left unchecked,
they alone will equal the current global level by 2030.
- To avoid warming,
therefore, global emissions would have to be halted immediately -- and existing
emissions would have to be removed from the atmosphere as well. Not a likely
prospect.
- The Earth is warmed by two forces: solar radiation, which enters
the atmosphere, and the greenhouse gases that trap it there.
- For instance,
ultra-fine sulfur particles injected into the upper atmosphere could deflect
1 or 2 percent of incoming sunlight
- For instance, low-altitude marine stratocumuli clouds,
which cover about 25 percent of the world's oceans, also reflect sunlight.
Research suggests that it might be possible to increase the reflective abilities
of these clouds by spraying a fine mist of seawater into the air. A fleet
of roughly 1,500 ships (estimated cost: $2 million per ship) might be able
to increase the reflectivity of these clouds by 10 percent, enough to counteract
anticipated warming.
