2007 Seen as Second Warmest Year as Climate Shifts
Fri, 29 Jun 2007 15:16:58 +0000 OSLO (Reuters) - This year is on track to be the second warmest since records began in the 1860s and floods in Pakistan or a heatwave in Greece may herald worse disruptions in store from global warming, experts said on Friday. "2007 is looking as though it will be the second warmest behind 1998," said Phil Jones, head of the Climatic Research Unit at Britain's University of East Anglia, which provides data to the U.N.'s International Meteorological Organization. "It isn't far behind ... it could change, but at the moment this looks unlikely," he told Reuters, based on temperature records up to the end of April. |

'Green jobs' bill rooted in Oakland
Fri, 29 Jun 2007 15:16:58 +0000 H.R. 2847, the Green Jobs Act of 2007, is modeled on the Green Jobs Corps created under the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights' Reclaim the Future initiative. The House Education and Labor Committee passed the bill — authored by Rep. Hilda Solis, D-El Monte, and Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass. — on a 26-18 vote Wednesday. "Oakland's Green Jobs Corps program shows how it's possible to create jobs and strengthen the economy while addressing urgent environmental challenges, especially global warming," committee chairman George Miller, D-Martinez, said Thursday. "I'm proud of the fact that some of the best ideas for tackling global warming are originating in the Bay Area. "The Green Jobs Act would essentially take Oakland's program national, helping to prepare workers from coast to coast for green-collar jobs," he... The bill would authorize up to $125 million to create national and state job training programs, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, to train workers in energy-efficient buildings and construction, renewable electric power, energy-efficient vehicles, biofuels development and other green industries. |

A new response in China
Fri, 29 Jun 2007 07:51:54 +0000 BEIJING - Three seemingly unrelated events may not constitute a trend. But they certainly deserve attention when they shed light on the relationship between the United States and China, which is fast becoming the most important bilateral connection in the world.The first is the much-heralded breakthrough in Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill's negotiations with North Korea. After more than a year in which the six-party talks were suspended, North Korea returned to the table and agree... |

Chrysler goes green, incoming owner fights raised mileage rules
Fri, 29 Jun 2007 07:51:54 +0000 SAN FRANCISCO - Chrysler Group said Wednesday it has joined a group of companies and environmental organizations pushing the federal government to enact laws aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions.At the same time, Cerberus Capital Management, which is in the midst of purchasing 80 percent of Chrysler from parent DaimlerChrysler AG, is aggressively lobbying against tougher fuel standards that they warn could cripple the auto maker, according to the Detroit News.Chrysler spokeswoman Shawn Morgan declined to comment on what the report called a Cerberus blitz on Capitol Hill, saying that "we know there will be an increase and we support it _ we just need to make sure it's technically feasible." |

Commentary: U.S. can no longer claim top status in dubious CO2 category
Fri, 29 Jun 2007 07:51:54 +0000 The United States is off the hook: last year China overtook the U.S. to become the world's biggest emitter of carbon dioxide. "The tall tree attracts the wind," and from now on China will be the main target of the criticism that used to be directed at the United States for refusing to accept binding limits on its greenhouse-gas emissions.What's particularly striking is the speed with which China has passed the United States. In 2005, its CO2 emissions were 2 percent lower than those of the U.S.; in 2006 they were 8 percent higher. Yet China only has four times the population of the United States, and the average Chinese is nothing like a quarter as rich as the average American. In fact, the vast majority of Chinese don't even own cars. So why does China produce so much CO2?One reason is cement. The pace of building in China is so intense that the country produces 44 percent of the world's cement (the U.S. produces 4 percent), and cement production is a major source of greenhouse gases. The main culprit, however, is coal, which accounts for 70 percent of China's energy consumption. |

Connect dots and you see progress on China front
Fri, 29 Jun 2007 07:51:54 +0000 BEIJING Three seemingly unrelated events may not constitute a trend. But they certainly deserve attention when they shed light on the relationship between the United States and China,which is fast becoming the most important bilateral connection in the world.The first is the much-heralded breakthrough in Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill's negotiations with North Korea. After more than a year in which the six-party talks were suspended, North Korea returned to the table and agreed to disable its main nuclear reactor under the eyes of international inspectors.This would not have happened without a change in Chinese policy toward North Korea. Two years ago, Beijing publicly criticized Washington's "lack of cooperation." But after North Korea detonated a nuclear device Oct. 9, Beijing started applying invisible but substantial pressure on North Korea, realizing belatedly that another nuclear neighbor was not in its interest. Once China's strategic interest was aligned with America's, it still took skillful bilateral diplomacy to make progress. There is... |

Duke CEO advocates cap and trade system
Fri, 29 Jun 2007 07:51:54 +0000 The head of Duke Energy Corp. repeated his call for a cap and trade system to reduce emissions at a Senate committee hearing Thursday. Jim Rogers, president and CEO of Duke, told the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee that the system would "protect consumers as we develop technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions," according to a news release. Under a cap and trade system, regulators would cap emissions for generating plants, then issue permits for allowable emissions. Companies would then be able to buy and sell the permits. |

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 07:51:54 +0000 WASHINGTON -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed sweeping fuel economy regulations passed by the Senate and has not ruled out considering similar legislation before Congress adjourns next month.This fall, the committee will have a "grand, good, bare-knuckled debate," he said.In response to a question from The Detroit News, Pelosi said she supports a proposal adopted by the Senate last Thursday to raise corporate average fuel economy by 40 percent by 2020 to a combined 35 miles per gallon for passenger cars and light trucks. |
