Will Ferrell Impersonating George W. Bush on Global Warming

Enjoy!

Global Warming Video… From 1958!

[I originally published this at Red, Green, and Blue] Below are the seemingly prophetic words and a short video of Dr. Frank Baxter, or, “Dr. Research,” who was best known for the series of educational films called The Bell Laboratory Science Series. Remember, this happened in 1958:

“Even now, man may be unwittingly changing the world’s climate through the waste products of his civilization. Due to our release through factories and automobiles every year, of more than 6 billion tons of carbon dioxide… our atmosphere seems to be getting warmer.” [Read more]

Could Taking Substantive Action on Climate Change Possibly Be Bush Legacy?

For Teddy Roosevelt, it was the creation of our system of national parks.

Climate: Skeptical enviro Bjorn Lomborg discusses post-Kyoto roadmap, calls Kyoto “feel good strategy” (Wednesday, December 12, 2007)

OnPoint, 12/12/2007As the international community convenes in Bali to create a roadmap for post-Kyoto climate discussions, how successful will a new climate treaty be at reducing emissions and decreasing the impacts of climate change? During today’s OnPoint, Danish political scientist Bjorn Lomborg explains why he believes Kyoto is a “feel good strategy”. He also explains why the international community should be focusing on funding R&D for alternative technologies and adaptation measures, rather than emphasizing an emissions-reduction treaty. Lomborg, author of “The Skeptical Environmentalist” and “Cool It–The Skeptical Environmentalists Guide to Global Warming,” gives his views on the Stern review on the economic impacts of climate change and assesses the current climate discussions in Bali.
