Official Played Down Emissions' Links to Global Warming - New York Times
- A White House official who once led the oil industry's fight against
limits on greenhouse gases has repeatedly edited government climate reports
in ways that play down links between such emissions and global
warming
- the official, Philip A. Cooney, removed or adjusted descriptions
of climate research that government scientists and their supervisors, including
some senior Bush administration officials, had already approved.
- "They're trying to throw enough uncertainty in so that either
policymakers or the public would not want to take a firm stand on it

White House Calls Editing Climate Files Part of Usual Review - New York Times
- At his morning briefing for reporters, the White House spokesman,
Scott McClellan, defended Mr. Cooney's participation and said the reports
were "scientifically sound."
- Mr. Cooney, 45, is chief of staff to the White House Council on
Environmental Quality, which helps shape and carry out the president's
environmental policies. A lawyer with no scientific training, he moved to
the White House in 2001 after having worked for more than 10 years for the
American Petroleum Institute, the oil-industry lobby. His last title there
was climate team leader, and his focus was defeating plans to restrict
heat-trapping gases.

The Politics of Science
- IT IS A RARE thing for the biography of a 24-year-old NASA spokesman
to attract the attention of the national media. But that is what happened
this week when George C. Deutsch tendered his resignation. Mr. Deutsch had,
it emerged, lied about his (nonexistent) undergraduate degree from Texas
A&M University. Far more important, several New York Times articles over
the past week or so have exposed Mr. Deutsch as one of several White
House-appointed public affairs officers at the agency who tried to prevent
senior NASA career scientists from speaking and writing freely, especially
when their views on the realities of climate change differed from those of
the White House.

Action On Carbon Capture Is Lacking
- Capturing carbon emissions from power stations and
burying them could be a major weapon in the fight against global warming,
but to date there has been little sense of urgency anywhere, a leading geologist
said on Tuesday.
- Stuart Haszeldine of Edinburgh University's School of GeoSciences
said there was enough geological capacity around the world to safely store
up to 400 years of climate warming carbon emissions from power stations for
thousands of years.
- If this trend continued, then far from rising by between 3 and 7
degrees this century as scientists predict, global average temperature increases
could hit 14 degrees, he said.
- While there was no absolute guarantee that the carbon dioxide would
not leak back into the atmosphere, such an eventuality was unlikely, Haszeldine
said.

Edits to a "final script" show notations about where to add "the idea of

Research shows heightened CO2 boosts tree growth
... Source: DailyMiningGaz
- Fall color may start later, but trees may grow faster,
as the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases
- Were seeing about a 30 to 40 percent enhancement in growth
and thats been maintained pretty much throughout the 10 years of the
experiment,
- The CO2 is added through rings
of vertical vent pipes encircling stands of aspen, paper birch and sugar
maple.
- Senescence is the scientific term for the fall cessation
of photosynthesis and color change in leaves.
- Increased CO2 in the atmosphere could be beneficial for the forestry
industry. Stands of trees may grow to a harvestable stage at a greater
rate.
- He also said the increased rate of growth increases the
forests nutrient demands, so the impact of boosted CO2 levels may vary
regionally depending on local soil types

waste from tens of thousands of dairy cows releases more than 15,000 pounds
of ammonia into the atmosphere each day
- The agency estimates that livestock operations generate two-thirds

ever perpetrated on the American people."
- Sen.
Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.). "If fire chiefs of the same reputation told me
my house was about to burn down, I'd buy some fire insurance."
- Inhofe molested the majority by having committee staffers put up
on the dais a series of 3-by-5-foot posters with messages such as "Congressional
Budget Chief Says Climate Bill Would Cost Jobs" and "U.S. Unemployment High/Why
Kill More Jobs With Cap & Trade?"
- Nobody doubted that Inhofe had a response. The doubt was whether
the response would make any sense.

- With 20,000 delegates, advocates and journalists jetting to Copenhagen
for planet Earth's last chance, the carbon footprint of the global warming
summit will be the only impressive consequence of the climate-change
meeting.
- China, nimble at the politics of pretending that is characteristic
of climate-change theater, promises only to reduce its "carbon intensity"
-- carbon emissions per unit of production. So China's emissions will
rise.
- On such models we are supposed to wager trillions
of dollars -- and substantially diminished freedom.
