Morning Round-up

Apologies for no round-up yesterday – computer problems.

Anyway, some global warming-related stories you may have missed:

• The role of warming in species extinctions might be less than thought.
• Antarctic debris may protect ice from rising sea levels (also a classic example of how to spin probably good news as bad news)
• International Energy Agency head says EU emissions reduction plans may be too expensive.
• In Canada, the Liberal Party’s record on the environment contrasts with their rhetoric to create political problems for them. David Cameron take note!
• German carmakers can’t meet the EU’s emissions reduction targets.

Finally, a conservative Cardinal has warned the Pope that the antichrist will be an ecologist. The devil is in the details, of course.
