A Monkey Riding a Parrot? It Happens!

By  David Moye - AOL News
A Monkey Riding a Parrot? It Happens!

(Nov. 19) -- The phrase "I've got a monkey on my back" is being taken literally among animals in captivity. Recently in San Agustin, Colombia, a lazy monkey started doing the animal kingdom's version of shacking up with a male and female parrot at a countryside hotel. The owners of the hotel says the squirrel monkey eats and plays with his bird-brained roommates. http://xml.channel.aol.com/xmlpublisher/fetch.v2.xml?option=expand_relative_urls&dataUrlNodes=uiConfig,feedConfig,localizationConfig,entry&id=624098&pid=624097&uts=1290026277 ...

Opinion: Why We Need to 'Cool It' on Global Warming

(Nov. 12) -- For 20 years now, we've been debating what (if anything) we should do about global warming, with very little to show for it. Despite grandiose pledges such as the 2008 promise by the Group of Eight industrialized nations to work to cut global carbon emissions in half by 2050, no meaningful international climate agreement has ever been reached and greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere are higher than they've ever been. What's holding us back? I blame polarization -- the lack of any middle ground in the climate debate. As far as many activists are concerned, you either believe ...

Obama to World: We're Back and Ready to Ratify

Climate Bill Update

By  Justin Paulette - Politics Daily
Climate Bill Update

On Tuesday, I wrote on the impending vote in the Senate on the first bill specifically targeting global warming. Today, Reuters is reporting that the bill has been passed by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Democrats resisted GOP efforts to soften the economic impact of the bill and the measure was approved along party lines. This bill comes in the shadow of present talks in Indonesia on the successor to the Kyoto Protocol (which will expire in 2012). Note that, contrary to environmentalist propaganda, opposition to the Kyoto agreement represented one of the most bipartisan ...

Bush Touts Global Warming Initiative

By  Mark Impomeni - Politics Daily
Bush Touts Global Warming Initiative

In what seems like a counterintuitive policy move, President Bush is highlighting his administration's commitment to addressing global climate change. Last week, during the United Nations General Assembly, the United States hosted a meeting of the world's largest economies to begin work toward, "...a new international approach on energy security and climate change in 2008 that will contribute to a global agreement by 2009 under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change." One word that wasn't mentioned during the conference: Kyoto. ...
