As the seasons change, many people are removing their window air conditioners and may even be considering replacing them before next summer. As the climate warms and heat waves intensify, air conditioning can help protect your health. But ironically, some of the chemicals used in air conditioning also contribute to global warming. A group of coolant chemicals called hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are thousands of times more powerful than carbon dioxide at warming the planet. These chemicals are often released into the atmosphere when air conditioners are discarded. To prevent this problem, used air conditioners need to be properly disposed of by…

from CFACT Paul Driessen Environmentalists insist they love the “little people” – until they get in their way, ask inconvenient questions or try to block renewable energy projects aimed at saving the planet from “man-made climate catastrophe”. Then the little guy will learn that environmentalists are actually working with wind and solar companies, utility companies, financial giants, politicians and bureaucrats—the climate industrial complex. If it is blocked, farmers, rural communities and American Indian groups could face long and costly battles. But they often prevailed. Energy analyst and journalist Robert Bryce reports that the little guys have rejected or restricted 735…
this guardian The article title is 'We have emotions too': Climate scientists respond to attacks on objectivity It's a remarkable exercise in self-pity, in which climate scientists vent about the allegedly unfair criticism they face. This was in response to the backlash the Guardian received after it published a silly survey last May These self-appointed climate saviors insist that their predictions should be accepted without question, and when they are not, they complain about how cruel and unfair the world is to them. It’s not the science that’s under attack – it’s the fragile egos that are screaming when the…
