China’s extremely restrictive family planning policies have prevented the births of 250 million people since they were implemented in the year 2000. In addition, a total of 300 million births have been prevented since 1979, when China’s one-child policy was enacted. Since fewer people means less demand for energy, Christopher Horner (author of “Red Hot Lies”) said recently on Glenn Beck’s show that the country now has carbon credits to sell because of all of the children killed through abortion and female infanticide. Beck came up with …

John Ray over at Greenie Watch has an excellent article that’s worth a couple of minutes of your time. An international study suggests that modeled carbon dioxide emissions from soil may be up to 20% less than anticipated, due in part to charcoal in the soil. The charcoal acts as an inhibitor of decomposition, causing the soil to be a carbon sink rather than a carbon emitter.

The deepest ice cores ever taken in the Antarctic have revealed some fascinating information about our past climate. The planet’s climate has been oscillating wildly for the last 800,000 years. The record maximum temperature was reached about 120,000 years ago (long before anthropogenic carbon emissions were even a passing thought) and the record low was about 20,000 years ago. Have a look at the graphed data and some other interesting finds from this two mile ice core sample at the link below.

Ugh. I thought the debate was finally over. After two lackluster hurricane seasons where carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise and global temperatures continue to fall, a new study by a Florida State University researcher finds that warming seas created by climate change make tropical cyclones stronger. The article credits MIT’s Kerry Emanuel’s 2005 assertion of this same hypothesis but neglects to mention that Emanuel backed off his theory earlier this year. But I have two problems with this article: one, the Argos buoys found …

A zinc mining company called Nyrstar issued a response to the government’s proposed carbon tax scheme earlier this week, saying it could force their operation into bankruptcy. Assuming a $40 per ton carbon tax, the company would assume an annual tax of $70 million per year, which would wipe out profits from the Australian mining operation. So the next time a politician suggests that fixing the financial sector by fixing the environment first, remember this article. Entire companies could be wiped out of existence thanks to carbon …

Global warming has an unexpected side effect. The “dangerous” carbon dioxide that some scientists blame on rising global temperatures has been found to spark extra growth in trees. Increased levels of carbon dioxide cause sweetgum trees to absorb carbon dioxide faster. Who says global warming is nothing but doom-and-gloom? Well, besides the global warming activists…

Andrew Bolt of the Herald Sun has a great challenge for Al Gore: get a new poster. The poster for An Inconvenient Truth preyed on fears of intensifying hurricanes thanks to global warming. But that theory is unfounded, even if Bill Clinton and Al Gore believe it. Hurricanes are down remarkably in the last two years, even as carbon emissions continue to build in the atmosphere.

This is a temporary sigh of relief for many of us skeptics. According to a prediction by Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), contrary to what Barack Obama says, any action on global warming may have to wait until 2010 due to the time of transition for the President into office as well as the amount of effort required to set up a nationwide market for carbon pollution permits. It’s going to be a busy first year for the newly-elected Obama.

Time once again for your weekly global warming myth round-up, courtesy of Canadian site The Daily Bayonet. Here’s a sneak peak of what you’ll find this week:
The NAACP is honoring Al Gore.
Speaking of Gore, there’s a carbon trade swindle going on behind him.
Chris Horner introduced as a climate criminal. Horner is a skeptic, of course.
Is the IPCC just making stuff up?
Eco-terrorism. It’s Al Gore-approved.
Problems with ethanol are now being acknowledged.
The U.S. Navy defeats some environmentalists.
And an ozone hole has opened up. But didn’t we …

There is a shift in scientific paradigm now with global temperatures falling. There’s a real possibility of another ice age, which has the potential to bury east Britain under 6,000 feet of ice. Carbon dioxide emissions may be the ticket to staying out of another ice age, according to Thomas Crowley of the University of Edinburgh and Canadian colleague William Hyde.
