Scientists Want Edits To Warming Skeptic’s Film

I read a pretty disturbing article about how easy people can be mislead by the facts of global warming. Here, a production company has produced a film that criticizes the theory that global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, called “The Great Global Warming Swindle,” on Wag TV in Britain which first aired on [...]

Gore Climate Concert Finds Home In New Jersey

I chose this post because it follows directly off one of my previous posts, excepts this one is more bright-sided.  After the National Mall in Washington had already been reserved and Republicans blocked Gore from having his concert on capital grounds ( with weak reasons as shown in my previous post), Gore has gotten permission [...]

Oil Giant Backs Caps On Greenhouse Gases

This article clearly indicates that we are heading in the right direction.  Here, ConocoPhillips has joined the U.S. Climate Action Partnership to push Congress to set limits on greenhouse gases contributing to global warming, becoming the first major U.S. oil company to take such a stance.

EPA issues controversial air particulate rules

I chose this post from the Chicago Tribune becuase we have gone over particulate matter in class and just saw the video on China’s air pollution.

London Vows To Slash Carbon Emissions

I figured I would choose this blog because it relates to our recent class studies on emissions of gases. It is also another new incident of where companies themselves are urging help from the government to help the environment, and the article suggests it is beneficial to them as well as most companies want [...]

Corporate Push for Action Against Warming

It was good to see that for once COMPANIES are urging for action against warming instead of the government urging companies to lower emissions to slow down global warming.  This is exactly what we need for big change, especially because it’s coming from high greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide emissions leaders, such as Volvo and [...]

Fetal Exposure To Common Chemicals Can Activate Obesity

I decided to report this article because we have just been studying exposure to chemicals and pollution and their chronic and immediate effects. However, this time the harmful thing doesn’t come from some sort of pollution or reaction, but instead is a chemical found in everyday plastics and pesticides. Also, even more [...]

Gore Plans To Rock Against Warming

I saw this article and it immediately interested me because I love music and we have seen Al Gore’s documentary on global warming in class obviously, and this also sort of follows my last post. After crossing the globe with presentations to inform people about the dangers of global warming, and then making the [...]
