Euronews i talk - europe's climate boss answers i-talk's questions

www.euronews.com Everyone agrees that these days we have to do something about the climate, but what? Connie Hedegaard is the European Commissioner for Climate Action, which cannot be an easy job seeing that different countries on our continent seem to have very different ideas on how to go about things on such important issues such as nuclear energy, for example. *I-talk presenter Alex Taylor:* "Lets go for a first question for Mrs Hedegaard." *"Hello, my name is Cristina Piffer, I'm Italian and in the name of all Italians I'd like to ask you what are the EU's concrete measures to fight global warming and daily pollution. Thank you." * *Alex Taylor:* "I told you basic questions. Quick answer." *Connie Hedegaard:* "I think what Europe can do is to prove to the world that you can have growth but at the same time you can have less energy consumption. We have done that with our cars, we have done that with energy efficiency in our houses, in the way we live our lives. We are actually one of the most energy-efficient economies in the world. So I think that we are setting an example, but we should do even more to continue to set a good example." *Alex Taylor:* "Ok let's go into more details now with another question." *"Hello, my name is Mohamed Agar and I'm from Belgium. I just have a question on carbon dioxide quotas. In just the last few days both China and America have refused to apply them. Are you going to bow to their wills or force their airlines to pay CO2 quotas ...

Already, 2012 has destroyed national heat records

We're not even a full fourth of the way into 2012, and national weather records have already been fried on the sidewalk. Calculations from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration determined that March temperatures for the lower 48 states were a whopping 8.6 degrees above normal. Additionally, the first quarter of 2012 broke the January-March record by 1.4 degrees. To put the numbers in perspective, records are usually broken by only one- or two-tenths of a degree. "When you look at what's happened in March this year, it's beyond unbelievable," said University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver. Top NASA climate scientist James Hansen agreed, noting that heat extremes aren't just increasing in temperature, but in frequency as well. What does the record-breaking heat mean? To many, it's further proof of a drastically changing climate—and perhaps a reminder to buy an industrial strength fan for the summer months.

Professor norgaard urged obama to enforce climate change by executive fiat

Paul Joseph Watson scienceandpublicpolicy.org www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv twitter.com www.facebook.com Thursday, April 5, 2012 The climate change professor at the center of the scandal over her assertion that global warming skeptics were akin to racists and should be "treated" for having a psychiatric disorder wrote a letter in which she praised Barack Obama for hiring eugenicist John P. Holdren as his chief science advisor, while also urging Obama to ignore public opinion and disregard democracy in favor of enforcing draconian climate change mandates. Following University of Oregon Professor Kari Norgaard's presentation of a discussion document at the recent Planet Under Pressure conference, in which she called for global warming skeptics to be viewed as racists who need to be "treated" for mental disorders, every academic establishment associated with her has attempted to memory hole information concerning Norgaard's biography and her previous work. As the Watts Up With That blog documents, the University of Oregon has attempted to re-write history Soviet-style by amending the controversial terms used in Norgaard's paper without so much as an editor's note. However, a damning letter written by Norgaard which appears on the Whitman College Magazine website has not yet been erased. In the letter, Norgaard praises Barack Obama for making an "excellent choice" in hiring John P. Holdren, whom she inaccurately describes as a "Nobel Peace Prize winner". As we have ...

National security and climate change

(Earth Focus Episode 36) US military and intelligence leaders are increasingly concerned about climate change. Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism graduate students look at how climate change threatens national security. Earth Focus features four of their reports: how the CIA is spying on changing climate; where US earth satellites fall short in providing the climate data needed for assessing national security threats; why Bangladesh may be a humanitarian challenge for the US military; and how Arctic posturing is heating up -- the new geopolitics of a changing Arctic. Produced in collaboration with Medill's National Security Journalism Initiative.

"get it done": urging climate justice, youth delegate anjali appadurai mic-checks un summit

www.democracynow.org - A number of protests are being held today at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban to protest the failure of world leaders to agree to immediately agree to a deal of binding emissions cuts. Anjali Appadurai, a student at the College of the Atlantic in Maine, addressed the conference on behalf of youth delegates. Just after her speech, she led a mic-check from the stage -- a move inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests. "It always seems impossible until it's done. So, distinguished delegates and governments around the world, governments of the developed world: Deep cuts now. Get it done," Appadurai says.

Lord christopher monckton: the coming new international climate court 1/2

Tonight's Friday, December 9, 2011 edition of the Infowars Nightly News brings an exclusive and damning look at the United Nation's climate talks in Durbin, which aims to put nations under carbon-based debt and commit genocidal policies against the poor. Alex is joined by Lord Christopher Monckton and Climate Depot's Mark Morano to discuss the latest attempt to build world government on a foundation of eco-fascism. Specifically, Monckton writes that the summit aims include: "A new International Climate Court will have the power to compel Western nations to pay ever-larger sums to third-world countries in the name of making reparation for supposed "climate debt". The Court will have no power over third-world countries. Here and throughout the draft, the West is the sole target. "The process" is now irredeemably anti-Western. www.prisonplanet.tv www.infowars.com
