Science makes strong case for rapid deployment - Analysis: "Avoiding key impacts of climate change depends on the success of efforts to overcome infrastructural inertia and commission a new generation of devices that can provide energy and transport servi

A major new study in Science magazine, "Future CO2 Emissions and Climate Change from Existing Energy Infrastructure" (subs. req'd), makes a powerful case for rapid deployment of low-carbon technology.

The study, one of whose authors is climatologist Ken Caldeira, looks at current and future emissions from existing energy infrastructure.  It concludes that if the world built no new polluting infrastructure, we would end up with "mean warming of 1.3°C (1.1° to 1.4°C) above the pre-industrial...

Must-see: David Suzuki on exponential growth

Click here for "The Test Tube" with David Suzuki.

I met Suzuki in 1999 when his foundation gave away almost 900 copies of my book Cool Companies to leading Canadians.  Here's the story from their newsletter, "Finding Solutions":

Using energy efficiency to heat up the economy and turn down the earth's temperature was the focus of a Foundation press conference in Toronto during September.

David Suzuki announced that the Foundation, along with Enbridge Consumers Gas, Union Gas, and the Canadian...

Video: 2010 Arctic sea ice update

Our favorite climate de-crocker, Peter Sinclair has a new video on the Arctic:

Here is a discussion of Barber's peer-reviewed research:  Where on Earth is it unusually warm? Greenland and the Arctic Ocean, which is full of rotten ice:  New study supports finding that "the amount of [multi-year:] sea ice in the northern hemisphere was the lowest on record in 2009″

Efficiency lives — the rebound effect, not so much - Shining some light on bad analysis in The Economist

Today's guest debunker is Evan Mills, a leading scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.  He is a widely-published expert on energy efficiency, which remains THE core climate solution and the biggest low-carbon resource by far.

Misreading of a new Sandia National Laboratories study on efficient lighting has led The Economist into the dark.  In the process, they inverted the researchers' findings, perpetuating the myth of the "energy rebound effect," which has been postulated in...
