The People vs. Cap-and-Trade by James Hansen
The public is largely unaware of a momentous battle about to be fought in Washington. The stakes are enormous. Yet the public has not been well informed.
Ignorance of the matter derives in part from the fact that the conflict was initiated via the highly charged issue of climate change. Climate is complex. People have different opinions about the extent to which humans are causing climate change. Fundamental belief systems are involved and discussion can be emotional.
Crashing the Climate Party by Lloyd Grove
Phelim McAleer is a self-styled journalistic skeptic out to upend the global-warming consensus at the Copenhagen summit—if only he can dodge the incoming sandwiches aimed at his head.

Little has been done to tackle climate change in Canada, and the federal government has actively tried to block international agreements and laws targeting climate change, says the report, called Dirty Oil: How The Tar Sands Are Fuelling the Global Climate Crisis.
Global Warming or Global Cooling? A New Trend in Climate Alarmism by Dr. Dave Evans
Senator Steve Fielding recently asked the [Australian] Climate Change Minister Penny Wong why human emissions can be blamed for global warming, given that air temperatures peaked in 1998 and began a cooling trend in 2002, while carbon dioxide levels have risen five per cent since 1998. I was one of the four independent scientists Fielding chose to accompany him to visit the Minister.
Carbon Credits: 'Cure Worse Than the Disease' by Kevin Dougherty
Carbon credits - to package and trade offsets to greenhouse gas emissions - won't work, says McGill University economist Christopher Green.
"This cure could be worse than the disease," says Green, rejecting the argument of Premier Jean Charest, who wants the Montreal Exchange to be the carbon market for all of Canada.
As an alternative to Charest's "cap and trade" proposal for carbon credits, Green proposes a carbon tax.
