Renewables cheaper than coal in Australia a preview of things to come

Grist: I`m morbidly fascinated by the way conventional wisdom lags behind evidence, like the CW that renewable energy is expensive and fossil fuels cheap. In fact, there is a tectonic shift underway. Renewable energy prices are declining as technology improves, economies of scale kick in, financing mechanisms mature, and public policy begins to take some (inadequate) account of the negative externalities of fossil fuels. Meanwhile, the cost of coal-fired electricity is heading up. It`s getting harder to...

Lower Climate Sensitivity Means That Climate Change Becomes A Much Cheaper Problem To Solve
2013-02-05 19:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: Over in the New York Times Andy Revkin has a piece discussing the way that the general scientific view is that climate sensitivity is lower than many had previously assumed. This is good news of course: but one of the implications seems not to have occurred to people yet. This makes climate change itself a much cheaper problem to deal with. Climate sensitivity is how much will the temperature change over a doubling of atmospheric CO2 (more strictly, CO2-e, taking account of methane and all the...
