Rainforest story latest IPCC scandal

First it was Climategate in which leaked emails revealed major scientific corruption at one of the world's leading global warming research centers. Then, the U.N. was forced to recant on its claims about the melting of the Himalayas. And now? Well how about the U.N.'s main science body, the IPCC, being forced to admit that an alarming 2007 report regarding 40% of the Amazon being in danger from climate change was based on unsubstantiated claims by environmental activists. The IPCC had claimed even a slight change in rainfall could turn swaths of rainforest into savannah grassland, but this [...]

African study decontaminates false DDT allegations

For years it has been argued that the use of DDT will, among other things, harm human health and contaminate food. But now with the spread of malaria rampant in the developing world, many are beginning to take a second look. One such nation is that of Uganda, where researchers at the Makerere University have just finished an extensive study looking into the use of DDT in Western Uganda where it has been sprayed since the 1960s. Their research, which tested earthworms, soils, fish, and beef as well as human urine and blood samples, revealed there were no long [...]

Biotech could save world wheat crops

By Dennis AveryNorman Borlaug is the most decorated civilian in history -- largely because he was able to cross-breed a super-wheat that fended off the stem rust fungus, which had historically stolen one-fourth of the world's wheat crops. The fungus spores traveled worldwide on the wind, leaving poor farmers -- families with tangled masses of wheat stems that yielded little grain. Borlaug'a wheat breeding success made him "the Father of the Green Revolution." He and his fellow high-yield farming scientists saved 1 billion people from famine in the 1970s. Now 94 and ill with cancer, the Iowa native eventually won the Nobel [...]

Climate change taxes create ‘fuel-poverty’ in UK

President-elect Barack Obama wants to phase out coal-based electricity generation, switch to renewable energy and follow Europe's lead on climate change. That could prove difficult. Coal generates half of all U.S. electricity. Wind provides less than 2 percent of all electricity and cannot be relied on when it's needed. Europe's lead can't even be defined, much less followed. Nearly all EU countries signed the Kyoto Protocol and agreed to slash greenhouse gas emissions to 7 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. As of 2008, however, many of their emissions are well above their Kyoto targets. Italy's were 14 percent above, Portugal's [...]

Environmental drawbacks of conservation easements

Are conservation easements, or agreements to keep lands free of development, always in the best interest of the environment? Well according to a new study by the National Center for Public Policy Research, the answer may be “no.” Comments study author, Dana Joel Gattuso: “Changes in science and nature could deem perpetual easements useless or harmful. For example, thinning techniques are essential to protecting healthy forests and preventing forest fires. Yet conservation easements may not allow for necessary logging and thinning projects. In still another situation, an easement created to protect an endangered species could become useless if the [...]

Human security v. environmental activism

Expanded remarks by Paul Driessen, given in a debate at the International Affairs Symposium held at Lewis and Clark College in Oregon in April, 2008. Does the exporting of our environmental policies to the developing world positively impact human security? Well, as Institute for Sustainable Development program manager Oli Brown recently pointed out, there are many cases where it undoubtedly does. Some policies. Under certain circumstances. Depending on how you define human security. Unfortunately, however, there are also numerous cases where such “exports” are anything but helpful. It is those policies that trouble me – for they wreak havoc on human [...]
