True or False: Paper bags
June 2, 2008
True of False: America's paper bag consumption uses 14 million trees a year. The answer is: True According to the Sierra Club and other environmental think-tanks, paper bags are just as harmful to the environment when you look at the overall impact behind their production and consumption - where the source material comes from, how energy-intensive they are to make; and how difficult they are to recycle or reuse. One of the paper bag's more obvious impacts is deforestation.

Surveyed scientists agree global warming is real
January 19, 2009
Human-induced global warming is real, according to a recent U.S. survey based on the opinions of 3,146 scientists. However there remains divisions between climatologists and scientists from other areas of earth sciences as to the extent of human responsibility. Against a backdrop of harsh winter weather across much of North America and Europe, the concept of rising global temperatures might seem incongruous. However the results of the investigation conducted at the end of 2008 reveal that vast majority of the Earth scientists surveyed agree that in the past 200-plus years, mean global temperatures have been rising and that human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures.

Meltdown: A global warming travelogue
By Bill McKibben Photographs by Gary Braasch | September 28, 2008
For a long time -- the first 15 years that we knew about global warming and did nothing -- there were no pictures. That was one of the reasons for inaction. Climate change was still "theoretical," the word that people in power use to dismiss anything for which pictures do not exist. It is the reason we don't see shots of coffins coming back from Iraq; it's the reason the only prison abuse we really know about was at Abu Ghraib. Without pictures, no uproar; not in a visual age. But now the pictures have started to come, and they will not cease.

Be worried, be very worried
March 26, 2006
No one can say exactly what it looks like when a planet takes ill, but it probably looks a lot like Earth. Never mind what you've heard about global warming as a slow-motion emergency that would take decades to play out. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the crisis is upon us. From heat waves to storms to floods to fires to massive glacial melts, the global climate seems to be crashing around us. The problem -- as scientists suspected but...

The distorted global-warming debate
By David Frum, Special to CNN | December 6, 2009
I asked a knowledgeable environmentalist earlier this week: "How big a story is the CRU scandal in your community?" "The what?" "The e-mails hacked at the Climate Research Unit at [the British] East Anglia University?" "Ah." He smiled. "It says something that I didn't immediately recognize what you were talking about. I suppose on my side we'd take the same view that the Pentagon took of Abu Ghraib: a few bad apples on the night shift." Meanwhile, on the right, the story is the biggest scandal since the leak of the Pentagon Papers.

Monster snowstorms still spell global warming
By Michio Kaku, Special to CNN | January 27, 2011
The weather seems to be going berserk, with more snow dumped on our beleaguered Northeastern cities in a month than in a year, paralyzing business and our lives. Records are being broken even as we speak. Common sense says that it's the freezing cold that is behind the freaky weather. But physics says otherwise. Basically, snowstorms in this region arise from the collision of cold Arctic air from Canada moving south and bumping up against warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico, causing water vapor to condense and freeze and then form snowstorms, which travel up the Northeast corridor.

Experts cite strong evidence of global warming
January 15, 2000
WASHINGTON CNN A blueribbon panel of climate scientists has issued a report saying that global warming is undoubtedly real.;The report, announced Wednesday night in a statement by the National Academy of Sciences National Research Council, takes an unusually strong stand on the issue. It also undermines a principal argument used by scientists who dissent with the majority view, which is that global warming is well under way with possibly dire environmental consequences.; The panel stopped short of declaring a definite link between human activity and global warming.

Global warming hits Antarctica, study finds
January 21, 2009
Antarctica is warming in line with the rest of the world, according to a new study on climate change in Antarctica. Rather than being the last bastion to resist global warming, U.S. research has found that for the past 50 years much of the continent of Antarctica has been getting warmer. For years common belief among scientists studying climate change was that a large part of Antarctica, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, has been getting colder while the rest of the world has warmed.

Global warming could increase terrorism, official says
June 25, 2008
Global warming could destabilize "struggling and poor" countries around the world, prompting mass migrations and creating breeding grounds for terrorists, the chairman of the National Intelligence Council told Congress on Wednesday. Climate change "will aggravate existing problems such as poverty, social tensions, environmental degradation, ineffectual leadership and weak political institutions," Thomas Fingar said. "All of this threatens the domestic stability of a number of African, Asian, Central American and Central Asian countries.

Dick Cheney undergoes heart transplant surgery
By the CNN Wire Staff | March 24, 2012
Former Vice President Dick Cheney was recovering Saturday evening after undergoing heart transplant surgery, his office said. Cheney, 71, had surgery at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Virginia. He had been on the cardiac transplant list for more than 20 months, a statement from his office said. "Although the former vice president and his family do not know the identity of the donor, they will be forever grateful for this lifesaving gift," it said. Cheney has a history of heart trouble, suffering at least five heart attacks since 1978.

New satellites battle pollution 'ghosts'
From Monita Rajpal, CNN | August 18, 2011
They call it battling ghosts: The incredibly tricky task of using satellites to track the invisible airborne pollutants that determine the air quality and health of our major cities. But as concerns mount over global warming, scientists say existing space technology has now reached its limits in this battle -- unable to measure how emissions are being cut in the urban centers that most people now live in. Now a new generation of orbiting sensors capable of mapping these wraith-like chemicals at city level is being built in a laboratory in central England, a development that will give scientists a new tool in the fight to cut pollution.

Justices reject multistate lawsuit over global warming
By Bill Mears, CNN Supreme Court Producer | June 20, 2011
The Supreme Court on Monday unanimously tossed out a massive lawsuit brought by several states against private power companies whose greenhouse-gas emissions are accused of presenting a "public nuisance. " The 8-0 ruling could have enormous implications on competing government efforts to control what many have claimed is major factor in global warming. At issue was whether the federal courts can intervene and unilaterally establish targeted pollution emission levels, or whether federal government regulators under the Environmental Protection Agency should have the final say. The justices were clearly concerned that the scope of the problem and the possible solutions would be too much for courts to tackle.

Top words of 2010 evoke Gulf oil disaster, loud horns at soccer games

At this time last year, you might not have known what a spillcam or a vuvuzela was. But you probably do now. The two phrases are among the Top Words of 2010, according to the Global Language Monitor, which analyzes trends in word usage with an emphasis on global English. "Our top words this year come from an environmental disaster, the World Cup, political malapropisms, new senses to ancient words, a booming economic colossus and a heroic rescue that captivated the world for days on end," said Paul JJ Payack, president of The Global Language Monitor.

Why does the U.S. need China?
By Li Daokui, Special to CNN | November 10, 2010
The United States needs China for two simple reasons: China can make a difference in the world after the financial crisis, and more importantly China's fundamental interests are aligned with the United States. It is obvious that China can make a difference in the world today and tomorrow. China is the world's leading exporter of manufactured goods. A sudden appreciation of its currency would inevitably export inflation to the rest of the world, which is not welcome by American families struggling to find jobs.

Saving souls and the planet go together
By Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Special to CNN | October 19, 2010
Last October, the Ecumenical Patriarchate convened an international, interdisciplinary and interfaith symposium in New Orleans on the Mississippi River, the eighth in a series of high-level conferences exploring the impact of our lifestyle and consumption on our planet's major bodies of water. Similar symposia have met in the Aegean and Black Seas, in the Adriatic and Baltic Seas, along the Danube and Amazon Rivers, and on the Arctic. At first glance, it may appear strange for a religious institution concerned with "sacred" values to be so profoundly involved in "worldly" issues.

Australian prime minister lays out climate-change plan
By the CNN Wire Staff | July 23, 2010
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard on Friday embraced the same policy on climate change that her predecessor failed to pass, but said in a campaign speech that any action would be delayed until at least 2012. "The price of inaction is too high a price for our country to pay," she said at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. "Because the price of inaction is price rises, job losses and innovations lost. " The topic helped topple her predecessor, Kevin Rudd, whom Gillard had served as deputy prime minister until the Labor Party transferred its support to her last month.
