          shareholders or journalists, then have their lobbyist work
          against it in the halls of Congress. Yet if oil companies were
          to genuinely advocate carbon taxes, the policy implications
          could be immense, enabling not just more effective, efficient
          climate policy, but likely tax reform, as well....Until now,
          the industry’s lobbying arm, the American Petroleum Institute,
          has assiduously led efforts to undermine any attempt to tax
          oil, natural gas, gasoline or carbon emissions.  API, widely
          viewed as the most powerful trade association in Washington,
          has teamed with Republicans in Congress to prevent increases
          in the long-stagnant federal gasoline tax, or efforts to
          impose taxes on oil or pricing policies like cap and trade

          of carbon tax proposals with key staff on Capitol Hill, and in
          meetings with other oil companies, according to the Wall
          Street Journal.  Additional news sources have reported that
          API has created a special committee to study climate change
          policy. While healthy skepticism about the industry’s
          eagerness to tax its own products remains justified, profound
          new vulnerabilities related to climate change suggest that
          carbon pricing may now be in the long-term business interests
          of oil and gas giants....</b><br>

        polarization is on the rise in the US; WSJ climate coverage is
        full of denial...A new study by a team of sociologists at
        Oklahoma State University has found political polarization on
        climate change is growing in the United States. Today’s
        Republicans are less likely than they were a decade ago to
        accept that the effects of global warming have begun, that
        humans are responsible, and that there is a scientific consensus
        on these questions. Democrats and independents are slightly more
        likely to answer these questions correctly today than a decade
        ago....Climate change is now more polarizing in the US than
        abortion or gay marriage. At the same time, climate denial has
        become the norm among Republican policymakers, as they’ve grown
        increasingly anti-environment. As the study notes:  What was
        once a modest tendency for Congressional Republicans to be less
        pro-environmental than their Democratic counterparts has become
        a chasm—with Republicans taking near-unanimous
        anti-environmental stances on relevant legislation in recent
        years, especially 2015.</font><br>

        EXPOSED: Fox News Scrubs Climate Change Mention From Article
        About Tropical Storm Hermine</a></b><br>
    <blockquote> <font color="#666666" size="-1">MediaMatters</font><font
        size="-1"> For one brief moment over the weekend, Fox News did
        the unthinkable: acknowledge some of the real-world impacts of
        climate change in an online article about Tropical Storm
        Hermine. Soon afterward, though, Fox got back on message,
        erasing all mentions of global warming from the piece....The Fox
        News article, which was initially attributed to The Associated
        Press and published on FoxNews.com on September 4, reported that
        climate scientists say "the storm surges pushed by Hermine could
        be even more damaging" because "sea levels have risen up to a
        foot due to global warming." The article cited Penn State
        University scientist Michael Mann and Princeton University
        scientist Michael Oppenheimer, who each stated that
        warming-induced sea level rise has already significantly
        worsened flooding from major storms...In other words, Fox
        indicated that while The Associated Press may choose to report
        on the impacts of climate change, Fox News will most certainly
        not. Or, as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) coincidentally put it on
        September 5, the debate over climate change is over, "Except on
        Fox."</font><br>

        conference in 1856, newly digitised records show...Irish
        physicist John Tyndall is commonly credited with discovering the
        greenhouse effect, which underpins the science of climate
        change....Starting in 1859, he published a series of studies on

        in the Earth’s atmosphere....A recently digitised copy of The

        a top US science conference in 1856. She describes filling glass
        jars with water vapour, carbon dioxide and air, and comparing
        how much they heated up in the sun..."The highest effect of the
        sun’s rays I have found to be in carbonic acid gas," she writes,
        using the contemporary term for carbon dioxide..."The receiver
        containing the gas became itself much heated – very sensibly
        more so than the other – and on being removed, it was many times
