Where has all the carbon gone?
Carbon is going missing. We know to a reasonable approximation how much carbon is being emitted to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel and land use changes.

IPCC propaganda, half truths, bogus science, urban legends about methane
The methane scares make good headlines, but it’s trash science fit only for comics and the IPCC.

Geothermal energy: an earthquake risk too far?
In addition to hot water and steam, geothermal wells release hydrogen sulfide and sulf-dioxode gases from underground. Besides being poisonous, the gases “smell disgusting. And they can bring on earthquakes.

Stealing Steel jobs
A UK steel plant closes and the workers lose their jobs. The company receives a billion pounds and the same factory is built in India producing the same CO2.

It’s hot! It’s new! It’s not C02!
I’d say this will be the new AGW Battle Cry: The Methane Time Bomb, aka the Al Queda of Climate.

£60m in carbon credits for UK government buildings
he British Government, as revealed by the EU’s Official Journal, has allocated £60 million of taxpayers’ money to be spent on buying carbon credits from the Third World for the use of government buildings and other official purposes – so that our civil servants can continue to benefit from the CO2 emissions needed to keep their offices warm and lit.

Cow farts and Dr Pachauri
Eating meat doesn’t produce methane – fact. If you maintain a herd of ruminants (cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, and camels), then you will be producing methane. But, then so does rice cultivation.

Enough to make an Orang Utan laugh
It is estimated that production of one ton of palm oil will result in an average emission of 20 tons of CO2 from peat decomposition alone. I thought bio-fuel was carbon neutral.

Another unjustified theory
From a comment by Graham: Drew Shindell, at NASA’s Goddard Institute in New York, says: “It’s [methane] gone up by 150 percent since the pre-industrial period. So that’s an enormous increase. CO2, by contrast, has gone up by something like 30 percent. “For example, methane in the atmosphere also creates ground-level ozone. And ozone isn’t [...]

No money in gassy Camels
Scientists have found camels to be the third-highest carbon-emitting animal per head on the planet, behind only cattle and buffalo. Culling the one million feral camels that currently roam the outback would be equivalent to taking 300,000 cars off the road in terms of the reduction to the country’s greenhouse gases.
