Article Details: People who live near sites used to store ash or sludge from coal-fired power plants have a one in 50 chance of developing cancer, according to a just released government report kept from the public for seven years by the Bush Administration. Coal ash, also known as fly ash, is the waste produced by burning coal. The nation’s power plants produce enough ash to fill 1 million railroad cars a year, according to a 2006 report by the National Research Council.

Item Details: AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 is a California environmental law signed into law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on September 27, 2006. The law requires that by 2020 the state's greenhouse gas emissions be reduced to 1990 levels, a 25% reduction under "business as usual estimates" and will bring California into near compliance with the provisions of the Kyoto Protocol.

Article Details: After witnessing 470 mountains in central Appalachia get blown to bits by strip mining, the Coal River wind proponents are drawing a line in the sand. Mountaintop removal has destroyed a million and a half acres of hardwood forests, ripped out the roots of the Appalachian culture and depopulated the historic mountain communities in the process. Now a tenacious group of coal mining families and environmentalists are proposing an alternative Coal River Wind Project.

Article Details: The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday approved a last-minute rule change by the Bush administration that will allow coal companies to bury streams under the rocks leftover from mining. The 11th hour change before President George W. Bush leaves office would eliminate a tool that citizens groups have used in lawsuits to keep mining waste out of streams. Mining companies had been pushing for the change for years.

Article Details: The world will experience a growing risk of conflicts over food, energy and water in coming years. The population rises each year by about 80 million people, with most of the increase in impoverished regions already facing environmental stress. Climate change, water scarcity and tighter oil supplies will add to the stresses. The tendency might be to look to the military for solutions. We'll need to keep in mind that engineers and doctors will be the only ones who can truly keep us safe.

Article Details: Coal is abundant and cheap, assuring that it will continue to be used. But the failure to start building, testing, tweaking and perfecting carbon capture and storage means that developing the technology may come too late to make coal compatible with limiting global warming. The Electric Power Research Institute, a utility consortium, estimated that it would take as long as 15 years to go from starting a pilot plant to proving the technology will work.

It was a man-made disaster, created by lousy engineering, misplaced priorities and pork-barrel politics.

In addition methane rose by 27 million tons after nearly a decade with little or no increase. The burning of coal, oil, and gas, is the primary source of increasing CO2 emissions. Oceans, vegetation, and soils soak up half of these emissions. The rest stays in the air for centuries.

Freight cars in Appalachia are brimming with coal for export. The boom in coal exports and prices has helped lower the trade deficit for the USA.

It is very hard to see a world growing enough crops to produce renewable energy and at the same time meet the enormous demand for food to alleviate poverty.

Article Details: Almost 30 years after it was first reported that pollutants were destroying the Earth's protective ozone layer, there is clear evidence that the global CFC ban has had an impact. For the first time, it has been shown that the rate of ozone depletion in the upper stratosphere is slowing down. The time lag between the CFC ban and the start of ozone recovery is due to the slowness of the cycle involved. CFCs last between 45 to 100 years in the atmosphere.

Article Details: Much of Al Gore’s evidence lacks credibility. The presentation of the science is superficial, erroneous and misleading. CO2 is almost exhausted as an agent for greenhouse global warming. Water vapour is the primary greenhouse gas. The ocean and atmosphere circulations transfer excess heat from the tropics to the polar regions and so regulate surface temperatures over middle and high latitudes. And more...

Article Details: Concerns about global warming and rising building costs are blocking construction of new coal-fired power plants in the United States and pushing utilities to turn to natural gas and renewable power instead. Utilities canceled or put on hold at least 45 coal plants in development last year. This is a sharp reversal from a year ago, when the industry had more than 150 such plants in development and signals the waning of a major US expansion into coal.

Article Details: Prospects for nearly emissions-free coal power in the United States have dimmed in the wake of the US Department of Energy's decision to pull the plug on a "clean coal" demonstration plant called FutureGen. Instead of the $1.76 billion project, which was expected to capture and store underground 90 percent of its greenhouse-gas emissions, the Energy Department is budgeting $241 million for several commercial power-plant projects that will capture and store a smaller share of their emissions.

This is the first analysis to show general, pronounced declines of entire communities across widely varying ecosystems. The potential ecosystem effects of removing 90% of large predators from the open oceans is bound to be widespread, and possibly difficult to reverse.

Article Details: Converting rainforests, peatlands, savannas, or grasslands often far outweighs the carbon savings from biofuels resulting in tons of carbon emitted into the atmosphere. If you're trying to mitigate global warming, it simply does not make sense to convert land for biofuels production. Global agriculture is already producing food for six billion people. Producing food-based biofuel, too, will require that still more land be converted to agriculture.
