Senior Bush administration officials told a Senate committee that while human activities are largely responsible for recent climate changes, mandating drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions is not the appropriate response for the United States. Instead, the administration aims to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of the U.S. economy by 18% over the next 10 years. However, critics argue this intensity approach would still allow emissions to increase faster than recent trends. The administration report to the UN described U.S. climate policies and measures but stopped short of pledging to stabilize or reduce overall greenhouse gas concentrations as called for in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Sci 10 Lesson 2 May 6 - Human Activity and Climate Change
The document provides an overview of the key topics covered in a science class, including climate change, global warming, and human impacts. It discusses enhanced greenhouse effect, greenhouse gases, albedo and its relationship to climate. Models are used to study and predict climate change. International cooperation through agreements like the UNFCCC aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Canada could be strongly impacted by climate warming through rising temperatures, loss of permafrost and glaciers. Small actions now can positively impact the climate.
Six topics of climate change which can rule the Research World
Uncontrolled extraction of natural resources and ever-growing population has caused the climate to warm which has resulted in global warming. Due to global warming, there is a change observed in climatic patterns in different parts of the World.
As there is an instant requirement of solving climate change-related problem six most popular topics are presented here which have the potential to rule the research world.
This assignment requires you to write a report based on the find
This assignment requires students to interview an American executive or manager with at least one year of experience working in a foreign country, or a US executive currently working abroad. Students must write a 3-5 page report summarizing the interview and comparing US and foreign management practices. The report should include an introduction, background on the interviewee and company/country, reflections on issues from class like culture and communication, what was learned, and a conclusion. The report will be graded on content and professional presentation.
Global warming
I found most researchers believe human activity is the main cause of global warming, though some argue natural climate cycles are responsible or it is an unproven theory. The majority of research supports the hypothesis that pollution is contributing to rising temperatures and melting ice. However, each researcher presented a different perspective on addressing or interpreting the issue. More studies incorporating diverse viewpoints could provide a more comprehensive understanding.
Global warming
Global warming is the increase in temperature of Earth's surface, air, and oceans, primarily caused by greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. If emissions continue at their current rate, global temperatures are projected to rise 1.1 to 6.4°C by 2100, causing sea levels to rise and changes in weather patterns, agriculture, and ocean acidification. While the scientific consensus is that global warming poses risks, there is ongoing public and political debate around the appropriate policy response to address climate change.
Climate changes
The document discusses climate change and global warming based on reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It summarizes that global temperatures have risen 0.74°C between 1906 and 2005 according to the IPCC, causing sea level rise, shrinking glaciers and ice caps. The IPCC forecasts continued temperature rise of 2.5-10°F over the next century if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced. The effects of climate change will vary by region but include risks from heat waves, flooding, drought and wildfires.
Climate and weather change
This document discusses the causes of weather and climate change. It defines weather and climate and lists their main elements such as temperature, pressure, wind, and precipitation. The document then discusses natural causes of climate change, including orbital changes, volcanic eruptions, variation in solar radiation, movement of crustal plates, and El Niño-Southern Oscillation. It also lists some short-lived climate pollutants as causes, such as methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons. The presentation ends by thanking the audience.
Change towards doom!
The document outlines predictions for how climate change will impact the world at various points throughout the 21st century based on current trends and scientific understanding:
- By 2020, flash floods are very likely to increase across Europe and agricultural yields may drop by up to 50% in some areas as rainfall patterns shift. The global population will reach 7.6 billion.
- Between 2030-2050, warming will cause tropical glaciers and alpine glaciers to disappear, increasing heat-related deaths in many regions. Crop yields may both increase and decrease in different areas. A quarter of plant and animal species could face extinction.
- By 2080-2100, sea level rise and increased drought could displace over 1 billion
Alternative Energy
Climate change is defined as a change in climate that is directly or indirectly caused by human activities such as altering the atmospheric composition. The document discusses exploring alternative energy sources to meet America's power needs and eliminate CO2 emissions by 2040. It presents arguments both for and against subsidizing alternative energy exploration by the government, questioning if the technologies can solve problems and hurdles or if opportunities exist for change through alternative energy sources.
Global warming balbi durando rodriguez
The document discusses global warming and greenhouse gases. It states that increases in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and ozone from burning fossil fuels are causing the Earth's atmosphere and oceans to warm. Unless emissions are reduced, the planet could warm by 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit this century, freezing and killing all life on Earth as the temperature drops.
Anthropomorphic, climate change
Global warming is part of natural climate cycles according to the document. It argues that the Earth's climate is primarily influenced by solar activity and fluctuations in the sun's irradiance. The document provides several lines of evidence from historical temperature and greenhouse gas records, as well as studies on plankton and agriculture, to support its view that global warming poses no significant risks and may provide economic benefits from increased growing seasons and rainfall. However, it does not consider the potential long-term consequences of rising sea levels or more severe storms.

Are We On The Verge Of A Megadrought?
Petty Getty examines the potential for a megadrought that could occur in Western parts of the US over the coming decades. As Peter points out, the climate change could affect the possibility of the megadrought.
Global warming, presentatation made by Lāsma Akote
Global warming is caused by rising temperatures from the sun heating up the planet, melting icebergs and raising sea levels. The atmosphere is fading due to chemicals from factories emitting smoke that traps the sun's heat. If global warming continues, seas and oceans could dry out, causing water, plants, and living creatures to die off and making the earth uninhabitable over the long term. Some ways to prevent further global warming are to reduce chemical use and pollution, protect plants and trees, and conserve water resources.
Timely warnings about climate change
This document summarizes articles from Newsweek and Time magazines from the 1970s that warned of imminent global cooling and the onset of a new ice age. The articles cited scientific consensus at the time that the Earth's climate was cooling, which would lead to catastrophic famines, droughts, and other extreme weather events. National science boards in the US issued similar warnings in the 1970s. However, the document notes that in 2006, Newsweek issued a correction saying their 1975 article on global cooling had been "spectacularly wrong." The document suggests the theory of global cooling may be making a comeback, and questions whether current warnings of global warming are also misguided.
Joaquin belisario global warming
Global warming is caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which increase greenhouse gas emissions. This has led to a rise in average global temperatures of 0.74°C over the past century according to the IPCC. If emissions continue at their current rate, global temperatures could increase by 1.1-6.4°C by 2100, causing sea level rise and changes in weather patterns. While political debates continue, the scientific consensus is that human-induced global warming poses risks such as stronger extreme weather, species extinction, and reduced agricultural productivity.
Letter from Edision Electric Institute 8.23.02
The document is an invitation from Thomas R. Kuhn of the Edison Electric Institute to power company CEOs and representatives regarding three voluntary industry initiatives to address climate change: 1) UtiliTree, 2) Coal Combustion Products Project, and 3) a program to restore abandoned mine lands. Kuhn requests the companies' participation and support for the initiatives by September 30th to be ready for potential rollout of new federal partnership programs and to allow inclusion in 2003 budgets. He also provides updates on additional potential initiatives and collaborations between the power sector and government on climate technology research.
Document- Summary of Industry Initiative
This document summarizes three industry initiatives to address greenhouse gases:
1) UtiliTree Carbon Company is funding 10 tree planting projects in the lower Mississippi River Valley to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through tree growth. These projects provide environmental benefits and have a low carbon dioxide cost.
2) The Coal Combustion Products Project is a joint effort between the power sector and EPA to increase beneficial uses of coal combustion byproducts, reducing greenhouse gas emissions from other manufacturing processes.
3) The Abandoned Mine Land Restoration program restores abandoned mine lands in cooperation with state and federal partners. It sequesters carbon dioxide through reforestation and improves water quality and wildlife habitat. An umbrella group

The EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman said she was not informed about an EPA report concluding that human activities were the primary cause of global warming before it was publicly released. While the report aligned with the views of many scientists, it seemed to contradict the Bush Administration's previous stances. Whitman learned about the report's findings when news organizations reported on it. The report may add controversy to international climate change discussions, including an upcoming UN conference that Whitman says she wants to attend as part of the US delegation.

This document contains talking points and action items regarding a climate title in a draft energy bill from the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. It argues that the climate title is a pre-emptive capitulation that will empower climate alarmists and lobbyists. Specifically, it criticizes provisions to create a new Climate Czar, require a national emissions reduction strategy, and award credits for early reductions. The document urges contacting Senators on the committee to remove these objectionable provisions from the bill.
CEI Email 5.8.03 (a)
The document summarizes an op-ed criticizing a report by the American Lung Association about air quality in the United States. It argues that the ALA report exaggerated air pollution levels and health risks by counting high pollution days across entire counties rather than at specific monitoring locations. It also claims that air pollution has significantly decreased in recent decades due to emissions standards and that future reductions are already required by EPA regulations. The op-ed alleges the ALA report misleads the public in order to promote stricter, unnecessary regulations.
CEI Email 6.4.03
The document is a forwarded email that contains comments criticizing claims made by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) regarding the health impacts of power plant emissions. It summarizes NRDC testimony arguing that the Bush administration's Clear Skies initiative does not go far enough in reducing emissions. The comments then examine NRDC's claims about the impacts of particulate matter and mercury emissions, finding little evidence that current levels cause harm to public health.

CAR Email 6.7.02 (h)
This document is an email from Samuel A. Thernstrom of the White House Council on Environmental Quality to Phil Cooney, Scott McClellan, and James Connaughton. It forwards an edited version of a letter to the editor of the New York Times regarding a recent article about the administration's climate change report.

It argues the administration's policies appropriately address climate change given the current scientific understanding.
CAR Email 6.10.02
This summary provides the key details from the 3-page document in 3 sentences:
The document is an exchange of emails between White House officials discussing a letter by EPA Administrator Christie Whitman defending the administration's climate change policy in response to a Wall Street Journal editorial. It also includes a letter by White House Council on Environmental Quality Chairman James Connaughton making similar points in response to a New York Times article. Both letters emphasize the administration supports reducing greenhouse gas emissions while preserving economic growth and that there is no division within the administration on climate policy.
CAR Email 6.7.02 (i)
James L. Connaughton, Chairman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, wrote a letter to the editor defending the Bush administration's approach to climate change. He argues that the new climate report from the administration is consistent with previous statements from President Bush acknowledging human contributions to rising temperatures but also recognizing significant scientific uncertainties. Connaughton says Bush's policies of funding research and programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are appropriate given the current scientific understanding and aim to address climate change in a "serious and sensible" manner.
CAR Email 7.12.02 (d)
The document summarizes a Senate hearing where senior Bush administration officials acknowledged that human activities like burning fossil fuels are contributing to climate change but reject mandating drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The administration proposes reducing greenhouse gas intensity by 18% over 10 years rather than absolute reductions, which critics argue would still allow emissions to increase. Senators challenge this approach as inadequate and not achieving real emission cuts.
CAR Email 6.10.02 (a)
The document summarizes a New York Times editorial and letter to the editor regarding President Bush's stance on climate change. The editorial criticizes Bush for dismissing a climate report by his own experts that found human activities are largely responsible for global warming. The letter defends Bush, saying his policies appropriately address the current scientific understanding of climate change by investing in research and programs to curb emissions.
CAR Email 6.10.02 (b)
This document is an email notification that a message sent by Samuel A. Thernstrom of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) was unable to be delivered to one of the recipients, Joe Matyak of the EPA, because the address was deemed invalid. It provides details on the delivery failure and includes the full text of the original message, which discusses a New York Times editorial and a letter to the editor regarding climate change and the Bush administration's policies.
CAR Email 6.4.02 (c)
The document is a summary of an Associated Press article about a new report from the EPA to the UN on climate change. The report acknowledges the human role in recent warming and forecasts significant environmental impacts. It predicts effects like sea level rise, increased drought, and species range shifts. However, the administration still favors voluntary industry measures over mandatory emissions cuts to address greenhouse gas pollution.
CAR Email 7.12.02 (c)
The document is an email summarizing a news article about a Senate hearing on climate change policies. At the hearing, four Bush administration advisors defended the President's decision to withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol and pursue voluntary emissions reductions programs instead of mandatory caps. They argued mandatory cuts could cost billions and millions of jobs. Critics at the hearing said the administration's approach will not reduce emissions and is inadequate given warnings about climate change impacts. The administration officials said more study is needed before taking more aggressive action.
CAR Email 6.10.02 (e)
This document is an email from Phil Cooney at the White House Council on Environmental Quality forwarding two letters about the administration's climate change policy. The first letter is from EPA Administrator Christie Whitman responding to an editorial criticizing the administration's position on the Kyoto Protocol. Whitman defends the administration's unified opposition to Kyoto. The second letter is from James Connaughton, the CEQ chairman, responding to a New York Times article about the Climate Action Report. Connaughton argues the report is consistent with previous statements from President Bush acknowledging uncertainties in climate science.
CAR Email 6.7.02 (d)
The document summarizes a Human Events article that is critical of the Bush Administration's Climate Action Report 2002. The article argues that the report undermines the President's opposition to the Kyoto Protocol by accepting claims about global warming that rely on "junk science." It calls on the President to withdraw the report, dismiss disloyal employees who promoted it, and remove the US signature from the Kyoto Protocol in order to align policies with his agenda.
EPA DROE Email 6.19.03 (c)
The White House heavily edited a draft EPA report on the state of the environment to remove references to human-caused climate change and many studies concluding warming risks. The original report discussed risks from rising global temperatures but this was reduced to a few vague paragraphs after White House edits. EPA officials considered removing the climate section entirely to avoid appearing to selectively filter science. The administration defended the edits while some EPA officials protested the changes.
CAR Email 7.12.02 (a)
The document summarizes a Senate hearing where four of President Bush's advisors defended his decision to withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol and implement voluntary programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions instead. They argued this approach would save billions of dollars compared to the costs of the Kyoto Protocol. However, Democratic senators criticized the plan as inadequate given the warnings about climate change impacts in a recent administration report. The debate centered on whether voluntary programs or mandatory caps on emissions were needed to sufficiently address climate change risks.
CAR Email 6.3.02 (a)
This document is an email chain discussing a New York Times editorial on the Bush Administration's position on global warming. The editorial criticizes the administration for withdrawing from the Kyoto Protocol and rejecting limits on carbon emissions. It notes some encouraging state-level actions but says global warming requires a national response. The emails discuss the administration submitting a new climate report to the UN that describes significant environmental impacts from global warming in the US.
CAR Email 7.12.02 (b)
This document is an email forwarding a news article summarizing a Senate hearing where Bush administration officials defended the President's climate change policies. The officials argued that severe near-term measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are not warranted given scientific uncertainties. They claimed the Kyoto Protocol would cost the US economy billions and millions of jobs. Critics argued the administration's voluntary approach is insufficient and will allow more power plant pollution than alternative proposals. The officials maintained the administration is still studying issues and has not ruled out more aggressive action if justified by greater scientific understanding in the future.
CAR Email 6.6.02 (b)
The document is a press guidance responding to questions about the U.S. Climate Action Report and the Bush Administration's position on climate change. It summarizes that:
1) President Bush did not dismiss the findings of the report but was responding to a question about new policy initiatives, which he said were not needed.
2) The report is consistent with previous administration statements in noting uncertainties about climate change science.
3) The report does not represent a change in the administration's view that the science is complex with uncertain outcomes and technology solutions.
4) Reference to other climate reports in the U.
Tp climate change-101-1
The document discusses both sides of the debate around human-induced climate change and global warming. It provides information from proponents of anthropogenic global warming as well as skeptics who argue that natural factors play a larger role. A variety of data and studies are presented looking at solar activity, cosmic rays, greenhouse gases and their potential impacts on global temperature and climate change over historical time scales.
CAR Email 6.4.02 (d)
The document discusses a report by the Bush administration acknowledging that human activities are contributing to climate change and its environmental effects. However, President Bush dismissed the report, saying he read the findings from "the bureaucracy." The report was submitted to the UN but only suggests voluntary industry actions rather than mandatory reductions required by the Kyoto Protocol, which Bush opposes. Environmental groups criticize the lack of a plan with pollution cut mandates.

- 1. Gr65P SaulA. Themnstrom 0072002 07:17:48 PM Record Type: Record To: James Connaiighton/CEQIEOP@EOP, Phil Cooney/CEQIEOP@EOP, Scoff McClellanIWHO/EOP@EQP cc: Subject: final letter -- will appear on Monday To the Editor: "U.S. Sees Problems in Climate Change" (front page, June 3)says that the predictions of the U.S. Climate Action Report 2002 "present a sharp contrast to previous statements on climate change by the administration." Actually, last year President Bush noted the rise in surface temperatures and concentrations of greenhouse gases, and said that "the National Academy of Sciences indicates that the increase is due in large part to human activity." He also cautioned that significant scientific uncertainties remain, emphasizing that "the policy challenge is to act in a serious and sensible way, given the limits of our knowledge." The new report reinforces each of these points, discussing the "considerable uncertainty" about the science, natural variability of the climate, and the fact that "definitive prediction of potential outcomes is not yet feasible." President Bush's policies are appropriate to the current state of climate-change science. By administering 67 programs to curb greenhouse gas emissions and investing $4.5 billion each year in research and development, the administration is responsibly addressing this important issue. JAMES L. CONNAUGHTON Chairman, White House Council on Environmental Quality Washington, June 7, 2002
