Publications -- Global Warming

Feb 01, 2008	ST #308 – Global Warming: Experts’ Opinions versus Scientific Forecasts In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued its Fourth Assessment Report. The report included predictions of big increases in average world temperatures by 2100, resulting in an increasingly rapid loss of the world's glaciers and ice caps, a dramatic global sea level rise that would threaten low-lying coastal areas, the spread of tropical diseases, and severe drought and floods.
Jan 30, 2008	BA #607 – Geoengineering: A Global Warming Fix? Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), a potent greenhouse gas, helps warm the climate. Absent water vapor, CO 2 and other natural greenhouse gases that trap a portion of the sun's radiation, the Earth would be about 60ºF colder than it is now — an icebox.
Oct 22, 2007	BA #598 – A Clean Air Regulation Hazardous to Health The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed a new federal standard for ozone air pollution that is much stricter than the current limit. If the proposal is adopted, the EPA will reclassify most regions of the United States as “nonattainment” areas. This means they violate the EPA standard and will be required to implement costly measures to comply with the new limits. Cities unable to meet the new standard could face federal restrictions on development, road-building and construction of new commercial and industrial facilities.
Aug 02, 2007	BA #591 – The Environmental Costs of Ethanol There is growing bipartisan political support for increased use of ethanol. An energy bill recently passed by the U.S. Senate would increase mandated ethanol use in blended fuels from 8 billion gallons to 36 billion gallons. Concern about global warming and the desire to improve air quality are stoking the demand for government action.
Sep 08, 2006	BA #570 – Constructive Thinking about Climate Change, Part II Over the next 50 years the world's developing nations will seek to emulate the West's material success. Access to cheap and dependable energy is critical to their continued progress from poverty. Electrical energy is especially important - it powers schools, hospitals and water treatment plants.
Jul 27, 2006	BA #564 – Constructive Thinking about Climate Change, Part I: Energy If human use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is largely responsible for global warming - and this warming is reasonably likely to cause harms that society would like to avoid or minimize - the technologies that fuel the world's economies must be reassessed. In particular, nuclear power could be the best choice to reduce the climate change risks posed by fossil fuels.
Jun 22, 2006	BA #561 – The Truth about An Inconvenient Truth Former Vice President Al Gore has long argued that human activities — primarily the burning of fossil fuels — are causing the Earth to warm significantly, with potentially catastrophic results. His most recent attempt to persuade the general public of his view is a movie and companion book entitled An Inconvenient Truth.
May 17, 2006	BA #551 – Polar Bears on Thin Ice, Not Really! Recently, some scientists have claimed that human-caused global warming poses a significant threat to the survival of many species. For most species at risk, they argue, warming will cause the range of suitable habitat to shift faster than either the species (or their food sources) can move or adapt to a new range.
May 15, 2006	ST #285 – Climate Science: Climate Change and Its Impacts Scientific debate continues regarding the extent to which human activities contribute to global warming and what the potential impact on the environment might be. Importantly, much of the scientific evidence contradicts assertions that substantial global warming is likely to occur soon and that the predicted warming will harm the Earth's biosphere.
Oct 05, 2005	BA #530 – Hot Air vs. the Cold Hard Truth about Hurricanes and Global Warming Environmental lobbyists quickly responded to the Gulf Coast devastation of hurricanes Katrina and Rita with loud assertions that the underlying cause of these more frequent, more dangerous and more costly hurricanes is global warming caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. There is just one problem: science. Historical data and ongoing hurricane research reveal scant evidence linking human-caused warming to more frequent or powerful hurricanes.
