- Stern Report Global Warming: Unchecked Global Warming a Massive Threat to US and Global EconomiesOctober 30, 2006 -- WASHINGTON—A major new report on the economics of climate change released today has the potential to alter the terms of the US global warming debate, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. The report, prepared for the British government by Sir Nicholas Stern, a former Chief Economist and Vice-President of the World Bank, concludes that the world economy faces the threat of a massive economic depression if urgent action is not taken to limit the damaging impacts of unconstrained global warming.The report also demonstrates that the costs of reducing emissions of the heat-trapping gases that are causing climate change are much more modest than some claim. While the economic cost of global warming could be as much as 20 percent of world gross domestic product (GDP) each year, an investment of just one percent of annual GDP by 2050 could reduce emissions significantly and head off the worst projected impacts of climate change. |

- Systematic Interference with Science at Interior Department ExposedEmails and Edited Documents Show Evidence of Inappropriate ManipulationOctober 30, 2006 -- WASHINGTON, DC – High-ranking political appointees within the Department of the Interior have rewritten numerous scientific documents to prevent the protection of several highly imperiled species under the Endangered Species Act. Deputy Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Julie MacDonald personally reversed scientific findings, changed scientific conclusions to prevent endangered species from receiving protection, removed relevant information from a scientific document, and ordered the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to adopt her edits. All of these actions show a blatant disregard for the Endangered Species Act provision which requires species protection decisions to be based on the best available science. |
