Tar sands exploitation would be game over climate, warns leading scientist	19.5.2013	Guardian: Environment
Prof James Hansen rebukes oil firms and Canadian government over stance on exploiting fossil fuel, which he says would make climate problem unsolvable Major international oil companies are "buying off" governments, according to the world's most prominent climate scientist, Prof James Hansen. In a visit to London, he accused the Canadian government of acting as their tar sands' salesman and "holding a club" over the UK and European nations to accept their "dirty" oil. "Oil from tar sands makes sense only for a small number of people who are making a lot of money from that product," he said in an interview with the Guardian. "It doesn't make sense for the rest of the people on the planet. We are getting close to the dangerous level of carbon in the atmosphere and if we add on to that unconventional fossil fuels, which have a tremendous amount of carbon, then the climate problem becomes unsolvable." Hansen met ministers in the UK government, which the Guardian previously revealed has ...

Why make it a bug life (Cached)	19.5.2013	Indian Express: Sunday
The latest weapon in the UN''s fight against hunger, global warming and pollution might be flying by you right now. Edible insects are being promoted as a low-fat, high-protein food for people, pets and livestock. According to a 200-page UN Food and Agriculture Organisation report released last Monday, they come with appetising side benefits: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and livestock pollution, creating jobs in developing countries and feeding millions of hungry people in the world. The agency''s Edible Insect Program is also examining the potential of arachnids, such as spiders and scorpions, although they are not strictly speaking insects.

Australia's 'unpopular' carbon price isn't to blame for Labor's poor polling \| Alexander White	17.5.2013	Guardian: Environment
Claims that Julia Gillard's unpopularity were linked to her introduction of carbon pricing in 2012 don't stack up Since the disappointment of Copenhagen in 2009 , Australia has witnessed a concerted scare campaign against action on global warming. The scare campaign has been led by senior commentators in (Murdoch owned) News Limited papers, by conservative radio shock-jocks on the airwaves, and in parliament by extremist opposition party leader Tony Abbott. From the moment Australia's carbon pricing legislation package, the Clean Energy Future Act, was announced Tony Abbott has barnstormed from one end of Australia to another, declaring a "blood oath" that repealing the carbon price would be his first priority if elected: "I am giving you the most definite commitment any politician can give that this tax will go. This is a pledge in blood." Behind this incendiary phrase is Abbott's own climate change policy, a mishmash of ineffective handouts to industry to "clean up" polluting power ...

Letters: No plans for new investment in coal	16.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Your article ( European energy chief puts forward case for funding coal , 12 May) says the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has "hinted it may expand funding of high-carbon coal projects despite mounting pressure from climate change campaigners to rule out such investments". This suggestion is wrong. The EBRD is not considering an expansion of its funding of coal projects. The EBRD has been pioneering in its development of a sustainable energy initiative which is actively promoting energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources across the regions where it invests. The EBRD may, on a selective basis and taking into account the lack of availability of alternative sources of energy, consider financing coal-fired projects that would replace highly polluting existing plants with new state of the art ones, thus improving energy efficiency and lowering emissions. But there is no consideration of a policy of expanding its funding for coal projects. Anthony Williams European ...
