Huffington Post: Organizing for Action, the advocacy arm pushing the Obama administration's agenda, will begin its next big policy push on Thursday with a focus on climate change. The group, which was formed using the 2012 Obama campaign's machinery, will begin what organizers view as a potential multi-year effort to lay the groundwork for legislative action on climate change. The first steps will come in the form of an email blast to the group's reported 20 million subscribers Thursday morning featuring a "greatest...

Coal exports fuel climate change woes

Portland Tribune: My greenhouse is covered with a thin plastic film. A few molecules of plastic are all it takes to make it 30 degrees Fahrenheit warmer inside than out. When coal, gasoline and natural gas are burned, they produce carbon dioxide that traps heat just like the plastic film of my greenhouse. Green plants recycle carbon dioxide, but they can't keep up with the amount that we put out. Two hundred years ago, atmospheric CO2 levels were 280 parts-per-million; now they're more than 395 ppm. Every year...

World-Herald: A debate in the Legislature over global warming Tuesday didn't raise the temperature as high as expected. Lawmakers voted 35-0 to advance a bill that would spend up to $40,000 to create a report on the long-term impact of climate change on Nebraska's water and agricultural resources. Climate change needs to be studied so that Nebraska's ag industry is not brought to its knees, said State Sen. Ken Haar of Lincoln, who sponsored Legislative Bill 583. But the vote to advance the bill didn't come...

Patriot-News: Visitors at Allegro Winery and Vineyards in Brogue, York County always ask owner Carl Helrich what he thinks about the crazy shifts in weather. "I will say the forecasts have not been as reliable as they used to be, and I live by forecasts," he said. For example, he said that in 2002 the earliest the buds on the grape vines broke -- an indicator of the grape growing season -- on April 17. Last year, it occurred March 30. As Helrich points out, that is about an18-day difference in a matter of...

United Kingdom: Climate change advisers says fracking can be OK

Telegraph: The controversial fossil fuel is forced out of the ground by blasting water into rocks, a process known as "fracking'. Environmentalists claim this hydraulic fracturing causes earthquakes and contaminates drinking water. They are also concerned that methane escapes during drilling and burning the fuel releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But despite these concerns, a new report from the Committee on Climate Change (CCC), said shale gas can be part of the energy mix. The committee...
