Obama's Faith-Based Programs Pushing Global Warming, Climate Change, G
2010-05-12 23:56:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Widely reviled by the left, Bush's faith-based initiatives were claimed to be evidence that Bush was a "religious zealot" trying to destroy America with evil Christianity. Now, two years into the Obama administration, we are seeing what Obama intends to do with his continuation of Bush's faith-based offices: he wants to use them to push the religion of Greenicanism on America's churches. This month Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships issued its final report of recommendations and the result is nothing short of astonishing. (download .pdf file) The question that immediately comes to mind, of course, is if the left will explode in excoriation of Obama's faith-based policies as it did with Bush's?...

10 countries worst hit by climate change
2009-12-16 00:33:00 Bangladesh has been the most affected country by extreme weather conditions between 1990 and 2008. And globally, in the last 18 years, extreme weather conditions have killed 600,000 people and cost a loss of $1.7 trillion, according to Germanwatch's Global Climate Risk Index 2010.India is ranked 7th worst-hit country in the Climate Risk Index. None of the developed countries figure in the ten most affected countries' list. Among the first 20, there are only four developed countries: Italy, Portugal, Spain and the United States.Poorer developing countries are often hit much harder. These results underscore the vulnerability of poor countries to climatic risks, despite the fact that the absolute monetary damages are much higher in richer countries. Myanmar, Yemen and Vietnam were most severely affected in the year 2008.The Climate Risk Index ranks nations that have been worst affected by climate change and are most vulnerable to global warming on the basis of a CRI score.

Climate Change Effects for Horse Owners
2009-10-15 00:00:00 Today is Blog Action Day; this year’s topic being Climate Change. Otherwise known as global warming, climate change has resulted from changes in weather patterns on account of increases to the Earth’s average temperature. Environmental effects predicted include: - Sea level rise - Changes in rainfall patterns - Changes in agricultural yields - Increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events - Water scarcity in some regions - Increased precipitation in others - Adverse health effects due to warmer temperatures As people who are often working outdoors and reliant on particular weather patterns and rainfall as well as production of hay and grains, climate change is a concern for horse owners, workers and breeders. Climate change is caused by increases in greenhouse gases from activities such as land clearing, burning fossil fuels and intensive agriculture.

Climate change: 20% of China is now desert.
2009-09-19 10:54:00 Sean Gallagher is a photojournalist living in China. With the support of Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting to highlight the impact of desertification in China.Almost 20% of China's land is now desert, affecting 400 million people. In Western China over one million acres of fertile land turn into desert. Per year. Last year they suffered a peak drought.Climate change, wind and water erosion, industrialization, agriculture, untimely policy changes, you name it.China's desertification is not only a problem for the Chinese. It impacts the world as a whole. I am not talking about what 1,000,000 acres of desert mean to the world's climate, alone: the more fertile land turns into sand, the more China is looking for agriculture land abroad, competing with European biofuel companies and Arab countries trying to secure their food production too. And money buys land in Africa. Easily. Even if this means they need to reduce their own food production.Video courtesy Sean Gallagher. Discover...
Climate change: The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes
2009-09-16 18:59:00 With the media heating up for the December Climate Change Summit in Denmark, it is time to for some reflection.Does the name "Severn Cullis-Suzuki" mean anything to you? Severn was 12 when in 1992, she raised money to attend the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. She spoke to the summit members in a speech which became famous. A speech which -sadly enough- could have been given today. It makes one wonder what progress really happened in the past 17 year.Do we actually make progress on protecting our planet for the sake of our children, and their children? In an age where Green Goes Commercial, where corrupt companies like Monsanto and Cargill start dominating our food chain, and chase the food prices up so the poor no longer have access to food. A world where Western companies buy up fertile land in Africa to grow biofuel crops so less land becomes available for food agriculture?Did we make progress, or are we still sliding downhill?Check out the most recent news and blogposts about th...

Condoms cheapest way to fight climate change
2009-09-12 12:27:00 Condoms :cheapest way to fight climate changeCondoms are the cheapest way to reduce carbon emissions, claims a controversial new report.According to the report for the UK's Optimum Population Trust, putting the brake on global population growth would be five times cheaper than any other method of tackling the world's greenhouse gases.The study, which was compiled by the London School of Economics, found every 4-pound extra spent on family planning for the next 40 years would reduce global CO2 emissions by a tonne. It would cost 19 pounds to achieve the same result with low-carbon technologies, reports The Sun.OPT chairman Roger Martin said: "It's always been obvious that total emissions depend on the number of emitters - as well as their individual emissions."The taboo on mentioning this has made the whole climate change debate so far somewhat unreal."United Nations data indicates that family planning could reduce unintended births by 72 percent, trimming the world''s populatio...

A Beautiful Effect of Climate Change?
2009-07-17 18:38:00 Nobody's certain yet, but some scientists are speculating that increases in atmospheric CO2 is causing a hauntingly beautiful phenomenon called "night shining" clouds.Mysterious, glowing clouds previously seen almost exclusively in Earthā€™s polar regions have appeared in the skies over the United States and Europe over the past several days.Photographers and other sky watchers in Omaha, Paris, Seattle, and other locations have run outside to capture images of what scientists call noctilucent (ā€¯night shiningā€¯) clouds. Formed by ice literally at the boundary where the earthā€™s atmosphere meets space 50 miles up, they shine because they are so high that they remain lit by the sun even after our star is below the horizon.Like anything else, our atmosphere expands when heated up. One current theory is that climate change is causing noctilucent clouds to become more frequent because the upper regions of the atmosphere are being pushed further into cold regions of space - leading t...
