Environment lessons On the first day at his new company, Eric Lin noticed that all the windows were covered with thick curtains. His colleagues said in winter they would be opened to make best use of the sun's warming rays while in summer they would be drawn to block sunlight and save on air-conditioning costs. As a result, throughout the year offices could be maintained at a consistently comfortable temperature.

Icelandic volcano eruption may accelerate glacial melting: scientist The recent eruption of a volcano that sits under a glacier in Iceland may cause the ice field to disappear more quickly due to a warming climate, a glaciologist said Wednesday.
The Eyjafjallajokull glacier will need decades to recover from the eruption that caused it extensive damage and snarled air traffic across Europe, Icelandic glaciologist Helgi Bjornsson told the online Iceland Review.
For example, Bjornsson said, the glacier's tongue has retreated from the lagoon it had extended int ... 地球温暖化の気候変動に迅速により多くの火山の噴火は、最近消えて座っている下のフィールドを氷氷河で、アイスランドがありますが、氷河学者によると水曜日
Terry Macalister Truckers are planning protests over the rise in excise duties and the price of oil. But rather than protecting this industry, we should be looking for ways of replacing carbon-based transportIt is tempting to lend one's support to British truck drivers who will announce today that they are planning to join students and public sector workers protesting against government policies. The haulage industry is a potent force to have on your side: it is capable of bringing the country to a standstill by blockading roads as it did in 2000 and, to a lesser extent, two years ago.The big wheels of trucking argue that a succession of excise duty hikes combined with soaring oil prices are crippling an industry that plays a vital role in taking food to the shops and exports to the docks.It is certainly true that firms are folding. Trade media have reported the names of at least seven companies that have been forced to shut their doors over the last month alone.It is also true that there were two fuel duty hikes last year, a further one this January and another planned for April that are having a significant impact on the economics of road transport. Car owners are aware of the pain too, with forecourt prices set to hit record levels any day now (much of your money goes straight to the Treasury, not even to BP).Yet that cash is not earmarked by government for the purposes it should be: building an alternative low carbon economy and infrastructure that will wean us off our dangerous addition to oil.We need to move away from oil – not just because it generates carbon emissions that are killing the planet through global warming, but also because it is fast running out. Many believe we have already seen peak oil, where supplies cannot keep place with demand, but if we have not then we will トラック運転手は、国内消費税の上昇や原油価格で行われた抗議運動を計画している

News you can use | Michael Tomasky As some of you will recall I live in Montgomery County, Maryland, among the finest of America's 3,100-odd counties (yes, I'm being serious) in so many ways. Except for one thing. Power goes out like every other week. Yesterday morning, we had frightening electrical storms. Our power died on us two or three times, but miraculously each time came back on. This morning, however, we weren't so lucky. Around 9:00, while I was on the train coming in, Sarah called me to say that the power went pffft. Odd, because there was no storm brewing at the time at all.Loads of power lines are tangled up in large old trees throughout the county, and in addition to that, these electrical storms seem to be increasing in frequency. Global warming again? Anyway, it's a drag. We already lost power about three weeks ago for two days and had to chuck maybe $300 worth of food out of the freezer.All of which leads me to TBD.com, the new local news web site started by the Politico people to compete on the local scene with the Washington Post. It just launched this week. I haven't studied the site extensively yet, but I can tell you this much.When I went to check it out today for the first time, the headline on the lead story was MoCo power outages may end tonight. Good. That's sort of all you need to know, right there in six words in big type. As a comparison test, I went to the Washington Post home page. Nothing about the power outages at all that I could see. And this is affecting a lot of people, around 33,000, in a high-income county where the Post has probably the largest single chunk of its readers (the kind of readers the advertisers love anyway), so it's certainly news.So there you have it. The Tomasky Five-Second What Can You Tell Me Test was passed with spangles on. A more rigorous analy いくつかの時点で私はモンゴメリー郡、メリーランド州、アメリカの3,100余りの郡（最高級の中で暮らすことを思い出すでしょうはい、私は深刻な）ので、多くの方法でされています

Are hurricanes getting worse because of global warming? Models suggest that there may be fewer, but more powerful, hurricanes as the world warms• See all questions and answers• Read about the projectThere's tremendous variation in hurricane activity over time and from place to place. Various studies published since 2005 indicate that the number and/or strength of hurricanes have increased in various regions, especially since the 1970s. However, it's likely that some hurricanes at sea went unnoticed in the days before satellites and hurricane-hunter aircraft, and that complicates the assessment. There's no doubt, though, that hurricane activity has stepped up since the mid-1990s in the North Atlantic, where ocean temperatures have risen through long-term warming and an apparent multidecadal cycle in Atlantic currents. The tropics are part of a global trend toward ocean warming that goes hand in hand with atmospheric warming, and warm oceans provide the energy to drive hurricanes. As for the future, computer models tend to point towards fewer hurricanes overall (for reasons that aren't yet firmed up) but a general strengthening of winds and rainfall in the hurricanes that do form. Trends aside, a catastrophic storm can strike in any year, and it's impossible to tie any single hurricane or other weather event directly to global warming. Take Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged New Orleans in 2005. Several hurricanes of comparable strength have been observed across the Atlantic over the past century. And the horrific damage caused to the city was the result not only of Katrina's strength but also the storm's track, the weakness of levees and many other factors. That said, the waters of the Gulf of Mexico that fuelled Katrina were at near-record warmth at the time.This is an extract from The Rough Guide to Climate Change by Robert H モデルは、少ないがあるかもしれないことを示唆している、より強力な、•すべての質問•は、時間の経過や場所から場所へのハリケーンの活動のprojectThereの大きな変動についての記事を読むの回答を参照してください温め世界としてハリケーン
Republicans kill global warming committee Mother Jones: Republicans have disbanded the one committee devoted solely to climate change and energy issues. At least it went out on its own termsThe kick-off of the 112th Congress on Wednesday also marked the end of an era in the House – the demise of a committee devoted solely to climate change and energy issues. The Select Committee for Energy Independence and Global Warming, created by Nancy Pelosi in 2006, has been shuttered under the new Republican leadership. In the final days of the committee, staffers released a report on what the committee accomplished in its brief tenure – an epitaph of sorts.Tackling issues from the politicisation of climate science to the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon, the committee held 80 hearings and briefings. It played a role in shaping policy for the 2007 energy bill, the 2009 stimulus package (which included $90bn [$58bn] in energy, efficiency, and other green elements), and, of course, the 2009 climate bill (the one that never became law, of course, because the Senate didn't act on it).The final report concludes with the question of whether the United States will respond to all the information that the committee has compiled during its lifespan on the climate and energy challenge:Someday, our children and grandchildren will look back on the record of the Select Committee. That record will reflect a respectful and rigorous debate and an unprecedented understanding of the challenges before us. Whether or not they will see that this generation has taken the bold action required by these challenges remains to be seen.Select Committee Chair Ed Markey (D-Mass) will now serve as the ranking member of the natural resources committee, so I'm sure we will be hearing more on the subject from him in the next two years.There had been some マザージョーンズは：共和党気候変動やエネルギー問題だけに捧げられる一委員会を解散している
Science Weekly podcast: Protecting the oceans; a space suit for dogs; and Tutankhamun goes online Jay Nelson, director of Global Ocean Legacy at the Pew Environment Group, joins us to consider how we can protect the world's oceans and whether islanders are willing to be subjected to tough restrictions. We also discuss the Chagos Archipelago, the UK's most important area of marine biodiversity.It's one small step for a mongrel ... We discover how stray dogs helped Yuri Gagarin make history. Space communications manager Kevin Yates takes us on a tour of the new Space Race exhibition at the National Space Centre in Leicester, which features a canine high-altitude suit designed by the Russians at the height of their battle with the Americans to control space. View our exclusive behind-the-scenes video of the exhibit as the suit is unpacked from its protective box and put on display. As the dust settles on the Climategate emails saga, the Guardian assembled an impressive line-up of experts to debate what the affair did - and did not - reveal about research into global warming. Listen to a small section of the 100-minute recording, or hear the debate in its entirety here. Eighty-eight years after Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by Howard Carter, only a fraction of the 5,000 objects unearthed have been properly studied and published. Hopefully that's about to change thanks to the internet and 15 years of hard work as the excavation notes are published online.

In this remote town in Mali, climate change takes on a sinister reality | Madeleine Bunting The debate around Africa and aid will shift from charity and post-imperial responsibility to seeking environmental justiceTen years ago, I ended up on the mud flats of the Nile delta with a water engineer. He explained how everything we could see around us would be under water if sea levels rose as they are predicted to do – the nearby city of Alexandria is one of the most vulnerable to climate change in the world. It was just before a major conference on climate change, and the aim had been to find stories – and images – of global warming that got beyond the cliche of a melting ice cap. But as a journalist it was hard to bring this future to life; this sleepy bit of coastline hardly evoked the sense of urgency required to mobilise the international attention needed.This is the central paradox of climate change politics, argued the sociologist, Anthony Giddens, that electorates can't grasp the significance of climate change because it is too abstract, and not dramatic enough (they need catastrophe footage), and won't – until it's too late. By the time we are experiencing massive floods, freak weather, sea-level rises and higher temperatures, we will be well past the point of doing anything about it. He christened it Giddens paradox.Ten years on, the impact of climate change is frighteningly more concrete. In the remote town of Anakila in Mali, west Africa, I find what we were looking for in the Nile delta 10 years ago. Campaigners know the power of images to drive the message home, and that's why the aid agency Tearfund took me on a 1,000km journey from the capital, Bamako.Three hours after we left the paved road, we arrived at low mud houses clustered under large mango trees. This is part of the Sahel, and the nine months of the dry season have always left a narrow eco アフリカ援助をめぐる論争は、慈善事業やポスト帝国の責任は、環境justiceTen年前、私は水のエンジニアとナイルデルタの干潟上で終わった求めてから移動します
Climate change: The facts of life | Editorial Political action seems again improbable, but it remains more urgent than everClimate change now reveals itself on a weekly basis. Scientists this month identified a colony of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which carries both yellow fever and the dengue virus, in the Netherlands. This African insect had not been seen in Europe for more than 50 years. A few days later US researchers reported that on the evidence of satellite data, global plant productivity – which had increased by 6% in two decades, in response to the extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere – has begun to decline in the 21st century: a response to higher temperatures and changing rainfall patterns. A week later students in the high Arctic reported that a glacier in Svalbard that had been retreating at an average annual rate of 20 metres since 1926 was now retreating by 40 metres a year.None of these reports was directly about global warming. The first was a salutary reminder that infectious disease can hitch a plane ride anywhere. The mosquitoes were unlikely to survive a Dutch winter: the surprise was that tropical insects could flourish in a North Sea summer. The second confirms that although plants benefit from the longer growing season and the richer carbon dioxide supply implicit in a greenhouse world, the overall picture may still augur badly for world food supplies. And the third finding was part of a project to give students a taste of field research by measuring climate and glacial variations over time. What links all three is that the evidence is apolitical. Plants, insects and ice streams are mute, disinterested witnesses to a warming world.Anxiety about climate change may have, so to speak, gone off the boil in Washington, where the Democrats show no appetite for decisive action. In Australia, cli 政治行動が再びありそうだが、それはよりeverClimate変化より緊急は現在、1週間単位で自分自身を明らかにする

Guardian Daily podcast: 'Rigour and honesty' of scientists not in doubt, says review; legacy of 7/7 terror attacks Climate scientists at the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit - whose emails were leaked by hackers - have been cleared of wrongdoing by an independent review. They'd been accused of falsifying data and trying to silence their critics in an effort to promote the case for man-made global warming. But environment correspondent David Adam says the scientists were insufficiently open when dealing with Freedom of Information requests.It's five years to the day that 52 people were killed by suicide bombers on London's public transport system. Some young people in Hounslow describe how they were affected by the attacks.Former London mayor Ken Livingstone praises London's response to the bombings.Writer Murtaza Shibli, author of 7/7: Muslim Perspectives, says British Muslims have been unfairly stigmatised by the government following the attacks.And the Guardian's home affairs editor, Alan Travis, explains how the bombings utterly changed government policy.Jon DennisTim Maby
