- Book Review: Global Warming: The Last Chance for Change-
"The last 50 years stick out like a sore thumb... The temperature's gone up and up and up. It bears the imprint of human activity."
--Dr. Michael Oppenheimer, Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs, Princeton University"It's not something we can adapt to...we can't let it go another 10 years like this."
--Dr. James Hansen, Director NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, member National Academy of Sciences"The weight of evidence for climate change is very strong indeed, and it has gotten stronger over the years...The rate of warming is now greater than it has been for 10,000 years; that means the rate of climate change is greater than it has been for 10,000 years."
--Sir John Houghton, Professor in atmospheric physics, University of Oxford, recipient of Royal Astronomical Society Gold Medal, Honorary Member American Meteorological Society - Biodiesel in NYC? Yassky, Gennaro, Woody Harrelson, my wife, and Fields of Fuels- Not too long ago I highlighted some ideas I had regarding the role of biofuels in a sane American energy plan that could wean us off oil. Biofuels are controversial and are a minefield of problems. But, there are definitely very sane, smart and viable biofuel options that need to be considered as part of America's energy policy. The diary I mention above discusses several options I think need consideration.
