After a wasted year, climate change must once again be our priority | Robin McKie | Comment is free | The Observer
"On an observatory 11,000 feet high on Mauna Loa, a volcano in Hawaii, a pair of ageing, automated detectors have been churning out details about the make-up of our atmosphere for several decades. This month, they produced their most alarming result to date. They showed that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have touched 390 parts per million – a 40% increase on pre-industrial levels".

The Hartwell Paper - A new direction for climate policy after the crash of 2009
The “Kyoto” approach was constructed by quick borrowing from past practice, with other treaty regimes dealing with ozone, sulphur emissions and nuclear bombs. It was not unreasonable that hard-pressed officials at the Rio “Earth Summit” in 1992 looked for examples of treaties that had worked – the Montreal Protocol, the START Treaties, the internal US sulphur emission reduction regime – from which to bolt together the skeleton of the radical new attempt to regulate the climate that their political masters had decided they must do. Nor was it novel for them to do so: incremental adaption from past successes is what is usually done by diplomats in such circumstances.

Hartwell Paper - Executive Summary
[...] the organising principle of our effort should be the raising up of human dignity via three overarching objectives: ensuring energy access for all; ensuring that we develop in a manner that does not undermine the essential functioning of the Earth system; ensuring that our societies are adequately equipped to withstand the risks and dangers that come from all the vagaries of climate, whatever their cause may be.

Yale Daily News - Letter: Critical evaluation of Climategate necessary
"If the scientific consensus on global warming were as easy to refute as has been claimed, I personally would have written papers to Nature and Science to demonstrate the hidden scientific truth, procured millions of dollars in research support from fossil-fuel companies and U.S. agencies and elbowed past President Obama to claim this year’s Nobel Peace Prize".
