Articles covered the climate debate, including the political aspects of that debate (Regalado, 2003). The paper was even publishing editorials from external sources arguing in favor of addressing climate change (Rowe, 2004)
The paper adopted a sober tone and utilized rational economic arguments that were not conflated with the facts surrounding climate change. The arguments -- such as one specifically against cap and trade (Strassel, 2009) and one in favor of a hard, legal carbon cap rather than a cap-and-trade approach (Krupp, 2009) -- generally align with the economic and free market principles consistent in WSJ editorials (Sensenbrenner, 2009)

The rapid elevation in temperature has created an imbalance making it evident that the phenomenon of global warming is real. The rate at which arctic sea ice is melting is faster than normal which has caused sea levels to rise (Prothero 15)
Global Warming Trends and Impact Global warming refers to the warming of the earth's temperature, in particular oceans and the layer of the atmosphere closest to the planet (Thompson, Lonnie & Gioietta 114)
Global Warming Trends and Impact Global warming refers to the warming of the earth's temperature, in particular oceans and the layer of the atmosphere closest to the planet (Thompson, Lonnie & Gioietta 114). Thus far, the total temperature increase is documented at only about one degree (Weart 43)
With respect to the ultimate limits of climate change, the best historical example is the Cretaceous period. One hundred million years the air was hot and moist, allowing dinosaurs to flourish on land, crocodile-like creatures to swim in the Artic, and abundant plant life to grow in an atmosphere rich in Co2 (Caldeira, 2012)
Vermonters tend to take blizzards, wind storms and torrential rains in stride. Writer David Goodman observed, "It's all part of the rhythm of the seasons in these small towns that cling to the flanks of the northern mountains and valleys" (Goodman, 2011)
4 F. Scientists read evidence in tree rings, ancient coral, and bubbles trapped in ice cores; they have concluded the Earth is warmer than it has been for at least a millennium (Pearce, 2006)
Michael Oppenheimer, a climate expert and Princeton professor, proclaimed simply, "What we see now is what global warming looks like. The heat, the fires, these kinds of environmental disasters" (Walsh, 2012, p
ice researchers worry that the Artic is on track to be completely ice-free much earlier than pervious research and climate models have suggested." (Sandell, 2007) Weather patterns, according to Robert Correll, scientist and chair for the Artic Climate Impact Assessment, are shifting and will continue to shift "in ways that we are just beginning to understand
According to an ABC News report September 9th of this year, the Jakobshavn glacier and ice fjord at Ilulissat are reported by scientists to be "pouring out some 20 million tons of frozen water into the ocean every day." (Blakemore, 2007) A recent Science and Technology report published by the University of Maryland states that: "A first of its kind study by the University of Maryland, Tufts and Boston Universities demonstrates that in coming decades, sea level rise, changes in rainfall and other effects of climate change will have major, costly impacts on infrastructure systems of cities around the world

One study found that deforestation accounts for up to 25% of global CO2 emissions (Howden, 2007). The reason that clearing forests creates CO2 emissions is because forests are carbon sinks, which means they store more carbon than they release (Gorte & Sheikh, 2010)
The Amazon rainforest contains about one tenth of the total carbon stored in land ecosystems so any major change to its vegetation, brought about by events like deforestation or drought, has an impact on the global climate system (University Exeter, 2008). One study found that deforestation accounts for up to 25% of global CO2 emissions (Howden, 2007)
IV. Agriculture Globally, agriculture is responsible for 20% of the greenhouse gas emissions (Wightman, n
Indeed, integrated research efforts can benefit form multiple inputs, which can be used as a springboard for further ideas, which would not be possible without integration. One major challenge in terms of government and policy is the habitual lack of consensus among governments in terms of finding efficient, fair, and enforceable reductions of greenhouse gases (Ostrom, 2009, p
Alternatives to the Kyoto Protocol Climate Change The effort to bring about effective changes in energy policy worldwide began with the emergence of scientific evidence showing greenhouse gas concentrations and global surface temperatures had both increased over a geologically short period of time, to unprecedented levels within the last 20,000 years (Betsill, 107)
