Global warming proposals could experience rough seas in the UK

Leaked Document Shows Spain's "Green" Policies Are An Economic Disaster
According to the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Pajamas Media has received a leaked internal assessment produced by Spain's Zapatero administration. This assessment confirms the catastrophic economic failure of Spain's "green economy" initiatives. On eight occasions US President Obama has referred to these policies as being the model he envisions for America.

Australian Government Puts Emissions on Back Burner

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the Rudd Government has put off indefinitely a Senate vote, which was due next month, on its emissions scheme. Last December the Senate rejected the trading scheme for a second time. The opposition and the Greens were combining to fight a third attempt. The latest delay means that the Government is running out of time to pass the scheme in time for its start date of July 1, 2011. A spokesman representing investment banks, including Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, expressed disappointment over the postponement.

Cash from EU Green Plan to Fund Coal Plants

Cash from EU Green Plan to Fund Coal Plants
Documents leaked to The Independent suggest that European countries will be able to use money from an EU emissions-reduction scheme to build new coal-fired power plants. This bizarre situation arises from concessions made to new and poorer EU states such as Poland when the EU was drawing up its "20-20-20" regime (cut emissions by 20% and secure 20% of energy from renewable sources by 2020.) After 2013, 100% of emissions permits across Europe will be sold, generating enormous revenues (e.g., £40 billion from the UK alone by 2020). According to the leaked papers, some of these funds could be used to provide up to 15% of the costs of "highly-efficient CCS-ready power plants."

German Chancellor Abandons Aim of Binding Climate Agreement

German Chancellor Abandons Aim of Binding Climate Agreement
Der Spiegel Online reports that, frustrated by outcome of the Copenhagen conference last December, Chancellor Angela Merkel is quietly moving away from her goal of a binding agreement limiting climate change to 2ĀŗC. She has also signaled at the EU level that she no longer supports Europe going it alone. The Chancellor realizes the limits of Germany's influence after China and India refused to agree to curb their emissions. The Spiegel article contains some quotes from a heated, three-way argument in Copenhagen.
