Clashes erupt at Indonesia demos against fuel hike JAKARTA — Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at stone-throwing protesters in Indonesia on Monday, as thousands demonstrated nationwide against the government's plan to increase fuel prices. Several people were injured in the clashes which came as lawmakers at the national parliament in the capital Jakarta were set to approve budget amendments that will pave the way for the first fuel hike since 2008. JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Indonesia's parliament was expected to approve a budget Monday that will slash government fuel subsidies, a move that will save billions of dollars but has sparked protests by those opposing higher gasoline prices. The measure, which would hike gasoline prices an average of 33 percent, also includes around $900 million for cash handouts to help cushion the effects on the country's 15.5 million families who live in poverty. Street protests erupted in major cities and clashes with police were reported. More ...

Editorial Board: Virginia attorney general’s office raises questions with role in class-action case	16.6.2013	Washington Post: Editorials
THE CONDUCT of the Virginia attorney general’s office under Ken Cuccinelli (R) has raised eyebrows almost from the start of his tenure. There was the troubling investigation of a global warming researcher , the ideological attacks on abortion and gay rights , the belated recusal from a case in which Mr. Cuccinelli may have had a conflict of interest . Add now to the list criticism from a federal judge about the dubious role of the attorney general’s office in advising energy companies being sued by southwestern Virginia landowners. A footnote is the revelation that the parent company of one firm is a major contributor to Mr. Cuccinelli’s campaign for governor . ...

Efforts to curb global warming have quietly shifted as greenhouse gases inexorably rise. The conversation is no longer solely about how to save the planet by cutting carbon emissions. It's becoming more about how to save ourselves from the warming planet's wild weather.

Al Gore says Obama must veto 'atrocity' of Keystone XL tar sands pipeline	15.6.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Former vice-president says oil pipeline is 'really a losing proposition' and demands climate plan promised at inauguration Al Gore has called on Barack Obama to veto the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, describing it as "an atrocity". The former vice-president said in an interview on Friday that he hoped Obama would follow the example of British Columbia, which last week rejected a similar pipeline project, and shut down the Keystone XL. "I certainly hope that he will veto that now that the Canadians have publicly concluded that it is not safe to take a pipeline across British Columbia to ports on the Pacific," he told the Guardian. "I really can't imagine that our country would say: 'Oh well. Take it right over parts of the Ogallala aquifer', our largest and most important source of ground water in the US. It's really a losing proposition." Campaigners have cast Keystone XL as the most important decision of Obama' presidency. The State Department, which has say over the project because ...

The Shrinking Road, Part 1: Have We Hit 'Peak Cars'? BOULDER, Colo. -- Remember the concept of "peak oil"--that the world will soon achieve the maximum rate of petroleum extraction possible, if it hasn't already? Now the question may be have we reached an era of "peak cars"? In a recent webinar held by Navigant Research, "Peak Cars: Flattening Vehicle Sales & Their Implications for Automakers, City Planners & the Cleantech Industry," analysts shared their projections on the potential and impact of long-term static and declining automotive sales. While North America has not yet hit its "peak" in automotive sales and is still several years off, Navigant Research believes it is next in line. Some are calling for using money from the Rainy Day Fund, but that might be a tough sell because during the regular session $4 billion was tapped for water supply projects, education and wildfires. An even tougher climb is faced by those seeking to earmark for transportation a portion of the oil and gas ...
