Greens and "smart growth" advocates will celebrate if money is diverted from hard infrastructure--such as improved roads, bridges, ports and transmission lines--which they insist would create enough carbon to heat the planet like a toaster.
But while we have readily and rightfully committed ourselves to understanding the cause of the spill, its effects and how to help restore the affected Gulf Coast region, we still can't seem to come to grips with a much more dangerous, far-reaching pollutant that is changing the fundamental chemistry of our entire planet: carbon dioxide.
And over the last four years, our emissions of the dangerous carbon pollution that threatens our planet have actually fallen.
The United States and China are the world's two largest emitters of greenhouse gases, of carbon that is causing the planet to warm.

And, yes, my plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating our planet -- because climate change is not a hoax.
So while the U.S. is dethroning coal, it may not do much to slow the carbon emissions that are steadily warming the planet.

When computer models gave him the power to spin up winds on planets of the mind, his first big topic was a study of the net effects of smoggy pollutants in the atmosphere, which cool the planet down, and the carbon dioxide which warms it up.
Because a world without climate change is priceless, MasterCard has teamed up with the business-savvy environmental group, Brighter Planet, to offer corporate customers carbon footprint reports.

Oceans are considered to be one of the planet major players in the global carbon cycle, but the carbon uptake in the region where the eruption occurred has limited capacity.
We know where we need to head: in the direction of a lower carbon economy that delivers sustainable prosperity for a planet that will have 9 billion people by the middle of the century.
Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere.

Most carbon dioxide is in the Northern Hemisphere, because most people on the planet live in these parts, Butler said.
"These billions of tonnes of additional carbon dioxide in our atmosphere will remain there for centuries, causing our planet to warm further and impacting on all aspects of life on Earth, " said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud.
This revolution will reinvent our economic system, to ensure the sustainability of life on our planet by developing a world of prosperity for all in a low carbon economy.
The feds somehow missed hundreds of scientific papers repeatedly documenting the pervasiveness of the growth-enhancing effects of atmospheric carbon dioxide, which are obvious from satellite images of our getting-greener planet.

There was even speculation about a dark material on the tiny planet that could conceivably contain the same organic molecules being hunted on Mars, the carbon-based building blocks that are essential to all life.
Big technology like renewable energy, carbon sequestration and advances in aquaculture certainly have a major role in restoring the ocean and the planet to a healthy balance, but in many cases it's a matter of giving nature the space and time to do what it needs to do with a helping hand from all of us.
