Play again con-servative Extinctionists/Deniers/'skeptics': Global cooling bites the dust: Hottest January followed by second hottest February. Now March is busting out.
- http://climateprogress.org/2010/03/17/global-...
Finally, the record temperatures we’re seeing now are especially impressive because we’ve been in “the deepest solar minimum in nearly a century.” It now appears to be over.
Memo to corporate media: If you are going to try to squeeze in one more global cooling story before the end of the year, please do remember that 80% of anthropogenic warming was always expected by scientists to go into the oceans, which have seen a pretty steady increase in heat content.

If it does matter where CO2 is released, cities are in trouble - http://www.grist.org/article/2010-03-17-if-it...
New research on “CO2 domes,” invisible clouds of carbon pollution that hover above urban areas, shows why cities have more to lose from climate change, and why they should fight back.

Study Highlights Forest Protected Areas as a Critical Strategy for Slowing Climate Change - http://www.worldwildlife.org/who/media/press/...
A new study involving scientists from 13 different organizations, universities and research institutions states that forest protection offers one of the most effective, practical, and immediate strategies to combat climate change.
The study, "Indigenous Lands, Protected Areas, and Slowing Climate Change," was published in PLoS Biology, a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and makes specific recommendations for incorporating protected areas into overall strategies to reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses from deforestation and degradation (nicknamed REDD).
"Deforestation leads to about 15 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, more than all the cars, trucks, trains, ships, and planes on earth. If we fail to reduce it, we'll fail to stabilize our climate," said Taylor Ricketts, director of World Wildlife Fund's science program and lead author of the study.

Auto Alliance Says Hands Off EPA's Ability to Regulate Greenhouse Gas Emissions - http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/03/auto-...
In a surprising but welcome move, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers today sent a letter to House and Senate leadership stating its opposition to Sen. Lisa Murkowski's (R-Exxon/Alaska branch) efforts to take away the EPA's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.
The EPA has the ability, known as the Endangerment Finding, to set strict emissions reduction standards for stationary sources of greenhouse gases, but (Exxon...err) Murkowski has been working hard to pass an amendment that would strip the agency of its right.

Video: Jon Stewart Assumes Corporate Rights, its only fair - http://rackjite.com/archives/4728-Video-Jon-S...
What with the recent activist conservative Supreme Court decision giving corporations the same rights as individuals (so they can personally help pour more money into our system of corporate bribery) Jon Stewart assumes that would mean individuals have the same rights as corporations.
In perhaps the most well written and explained political lesson in Daily Show history, Jon Stewart takes the premise down the line into the silliness this crazyass Supreme Court/Corporate is taking us.

Newly Released FBI Documents Support Explosive Claims by Former FBI Translator Sibel Edmonds by Luke Ryland - http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2010/03/1...
"Recently released FBI documents prove the existence of highly sensitive National Security and criminal investigations of “Turkish Activities” in Chicago prior to September 11, 2001. These documents add further support to many of the allegations that former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds has claimed, in public and in Congress, since 2002.
The documents were released under a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request into an organization called the Turkish American Cultural Alliance (TACA), an organization repeatedly named by Ms. Edmonds as being complicit in the crimes that she became aware of when she was a translator at the FBI. The documents released under FOIA are almost completely redacted, but they do support many of Edmonds’ claims..."
