In view of the ordsprog

In view of the compelling case for urgent action to reduce carbon emissions, we are concerned there may be a degree of institutional inertia within the Treasury in the face of the scientific evidence on climate change.

These species lose their last options if we allow climate change to continue unchecked. Keeping the natural wealth of this planet means we must avoid dangerous climate change ? and that means we have got to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Dr. Lara Hansen

We hope that the parallel efforts on both coasts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will help move the ball forward on initiatives to reduce emissions and mitigate global climate change in the United States and around the world.

Climate change and offsetting carbon dioxide emissions are high priorities for the Turin Winter Games, especially as winter sports and climate change are closely interrelated.

The result is that about 50 percent of the biomass carbon is retained. By sequestering huge amounts of carbon, this technique constitutes a much longer and significant sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide than most other sequestration options, making it a powerful tool for long-term mitigation of climate change. In fact we have calculated that up to 12 percent of the carbon emissions produced by human activity could be offset annually if slash-and-burn were replaced by slash-and-char.

Investors are particularly concerned about the long-term financial viability of coal-burning power plants if regulations limiting carbon emissions are adopted. Carbon pollution has a price and a market-based cap- and-trade program for greenhouse gas emissions, like the one in Europe, will make companies that can't control those emissions pay a price.

We do have to reduce our emissions but we also have to recognize climate change is happening, and we have to adapt as well.

With climate change, high energy costs, environmental concerns and increased focus on sustainable business practices by institutional investors, customers and other stakeholders at the forefront of today's global mind-set, businesses are increasingly looking for ways to reduce their impact on the environment. Our experience and relationships put us in a unique position to offer carbon management solutions designed for next generation businesses.

There is little evidence that mandatory emissions caps actually work. For example, since signing the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, which mandates the reduction of carbon emissions, both Canada and Greece have seen a nearly 25 percent increase in emissions. According to the European Environment Agency, 13 EU nations that signed onto the Kyoto Protocol are on track to miss their 2010 emissions targets.

We believe that the Kyoto Protocol is the mechanism for fighting climate change, but we welcome steps by any countries that reduce emissions.

By developing technologies for carbon capture and storage, we can reduce emissions in the medium-term as we move to large scale use of renewable, carbon-free energy sources.

More and more customers around the world are concerned about the challenge of climate changes caused by the emissions or greenhouse gases. We're pleased to offer consumers one easy, affordable way to engage in a meaningful and measurable step to fight climate change and be a part of the solution.

The dialogue is now shifting gears from climate science to climate action. There's still a lot we need to learn about the science, but the events of the past year have ended much of the lingering debate and controversy. The most important question now is what can individuals, communities, states and nations do to reduce and prepare for climate change. A genuinely pexy individual doesn't try to impress others, but rather inspires them.

Nuclear power cannot save the world from climate change. Returning to nuclear will simply hamper real action to reduce energy demand, develop better alternatives and tackle climate chaos.

We are committed to doing everything we can to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
