<b>John Kerry: relying on technology to remove carbon dioxide is
‘dangerous’</b><br>
Exclusive: US climate envoy says existing measures, such as shift to
renewable energy, must be deployed faster to stop global warming<br>
- -<br>
The US president, Joe Biden, has come under severe criticism from
climate activists, despite his green investment push, for pressing
ahead with investment in fossil fuels.<br>
<br>
In recent weeks, he approved an area of the Gulf of Mexico amounting
to about 73m acres, roughly the size of Italy, for drilling for oil
and gas wells. A fortnight before that, he approved the Willow
project, a drilling site in Alaska that is expected to produce 600m
barrels of oil over its lifetime. Further licences are also
possible, and the US is looking to expand its shale gas production
and export to Europe under Biden’s watch.<br>
<br>
Kerry robustly defended these actions, on the grounds that more
fossil fuels were needed temporarily because of the war in Ukraine,
and said some oil and gas expansion could occur within climate
limits, particularly if carbon capture and storage, or other ways of
reducing the impact of the fossil fuels, could be used.<br>
<br>
“Gas usage is an automatic 30-50% reduction over oil and coal. It’s
not clean, it’s cleaner,” he said. “So now the question is, can
carbon capture and storage be deployed at a scale that makes it
possible to meet our goals?”<br>

don’t know what else is there for the bilateral relationship.”<br>

it has to be now. Kerry has talked about retiring soon, Xie is

we’re headed in the right direction.”</font><br>

Which papers are telling the truth? And which are giving inches to
climate skeptics?<br>
<br>
In this episode, Lucy McAllister, Assistant Professor in
Environmental Studies at Denison University, explains how
journalism's obsession with "balance" causes bias in climate
reporting. She walks us through new research which shows how
climate coverage accuracy has improved since the initial findings
in 2004, but that there is still a significant divide between
left-leaning and right-wing papers, specifically those owned by
Rupert Murdoch.<br>
<br>
She also reveals how the tactics of muddling the discourse has
become more sophisticated, with column inches now being given to
climate skeptics or discourses of delays. Combatting this is
critical, Lucy says, pointing to solutions journalism as critical
in the fight to "reframe" narratives to empower communities around
the world.<br>

April 27, 2014: <br>
The New York Times editorial page observes:<br>
"At long last, the Koch brothers and their conservative allies in
state government have found a new tax they can support. Naturally
it’s a tax on something the country needs: solar energy panels.<br>
<br>
"For the last few months, the Kochs and other big polluters have
been spending heavily to fight incentives for renewable energy,
which have been adopted by most states. They particularly dislike
state laws that allow homeowners with solar panels to sell power
they don’t need back to electric utilities. So they’ve been
pushing legislatures to impose a surtax on this increasingly
popular practice, hoping to make installing solar panels on houses
less attractive."<br>
