Government to continue climate change ads despite criticism from watchdog
|
17.3.2010 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Department stands by climate change campaign as ASA bans press adverts that 'should have been phrased more tentatively'
The government has pledged to continue its campaigns on climate change, despite the advertising watchdog banning two of its press ads.
Last October's £6m ad campaign , by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, has become a lightning rod for the politically charged debate over the issue.
The campaign, including a TV ad, four press ads and two billboard posters, prompted almost 1,000 complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority, denouncing it as misleading, scaremongering and distressing.
The ASA has today ruled that two of the press ads, which used nursery rhymes to push the message of climate ... |

Letters: Beef up our approach to food
|
16.3.2010 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| You performed the worthy task of providing exposure to the labour conditions associated with the UK meat industry ( Violence and abuse rife in food factories , 13 March). Indeed the EHRC investigation adds to the social science evidence base that has already argued that exploited people in this sector are "treated as animals". Yet your coverage fails to note the interwoven exploitation of animals and the pressing need to curtail the meat industry precisely because of its inequitable impact on exploited humans – not just in terms of labour conditions but also because of the relation between meat consumption with both impaired public health and anticipated contributions to climate change.

Climate Change Isn't Just About Energy; It's About National Priorities

| Alaska Natives are in danger and need to be relocated due to warming Arctic weather, but the US government is dragging its feet.
Polls show conservatives on average are much more likely to doubt the existence of anthropogenic, or human-influenced, climate changes, a stance that usually means opposition to regulatory action on greenhouse gas emissions.

Politics Confuse Public Perception of Climate Change
|
13.3.2010 |
AlterNet |
| Americans don’t know what to think about climate change anymore. A few years ago, the public more or less trusted the science that said human activity was raising global temperatures, but now that Congress and the Obama administration have hemmed and hawed about climate issues, we’re not longer so sure. Forty-eight percent of Americans—more of us [...] ... |

Climate change adverts draw mild rebuke from advertising watchdog

Guardian: Science |
| Leaked adjudication largely clears government over campaign that some thought 'scary, inaccurate and too political'
Read the full text of the ASA adjudication
The advertising watchdog has mildly rebuked the government over the phrasing of a claim in two advertisements on the danger of climate change, while dismissing the rest of the complaints against the controversial television and newspaper campaign.
The campaign, run by the Department of Environment and Climate Change last winter, brought in 939 complaints. Various groups said the adverts were political, too scary, and factually misleading.
The vast majority of these complaints have now been dismissed by the authority.
The Advertising Standards Authority's only criticism was ... |

Slide in climate change belief is a temporary glitch | Damian Carrington
|
12.3.2010 |
Guardian: Science |
| It has taken a perfect storm of snow, scientific doubt and political failure to dent public acceptance of the reality of global warming - but these factors will pass
Is the world warming and are we causing it? The number of people confidently saying yes to that question has slipped sharply over recent weeks, if opinion polls on both sides of the Atlantic are to be believed. That looks like bad news for those arguing that major changes to how we travel, power our homes and feed ourselves are needed to avoid catastrophe.
Yet a longer-term take on the data shows that interpreting the results as a collapse in confidence in climate science due to the release of the University of East Anglia emails or mistakes by the UN's climate body is not ... |

Read our live coverage from the hearing
The scientist at the centre of a media storm over global warming research admitted today he had sent "awful emails" but said he expected to be cleared of accusations that he tried to pervert the scientific process.
Phil Jones, head of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia , told a parliamentary inquiry that there was nothing in the hundreds of emails released on to the internet last year that supported the claims.
"I was just commenting that those papers weren't very good," Jones said. "There is nothing that [shows] that me or the CRU were trying to ... |

The Top 10 Reasons We Don’t Need More Nukes

Common Dreams: Views |
| by Alisa Gravitz Many of President Barack Obama’s domestic priorities seem
intractably stuck in partisan gridlock, but one of his recent State of
the Union proposals appears to be moving ahead quickly: taxpayer-backed
loan guarantees for so-called “safe, clean, nuclear power plants.” The Energy Department has already announced a new $8.3 billion
loan guarantee for new nuclear plants in Georgia, and Energy Secretary
Steven Chu is using Facebook to explain why the administration believes
nukes are necessary.

The climate scientist at the centre of a media storm over private emails released on to the internet will face his first public questions on the affair today when he appears before a parliamentary committee.

It will be the first time Jones has appeared in public since the emails were released in November. He will also be asked about correspondence that appears to show a reluctance to share data ... |
