Who is most to blame for the consequences of the Gulf oil spill?

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

A new Enviroment/Climate poll has been created on the oil spill. This is a good example of an issue that started out as a big news story about a disaster and death but not something we would cover as a political issue. Then over time it has become a political issue and so now over a month later we are launching a poll.

The Gulf of Mexico oil spill is now the greatest environmental disaster from a single event to face the US and has attracted the biggest ever response. Some people lay the blame squarely with BP while others say the Obama administration has been slow and ineffective in its resposne. Others say the real blame lies with past administrations such as the George W Bush presidency for fast trackiing off-shore drilling with inadequate supervision. Who do you blame? Vote here.

Carbon Trading – real climate solution?

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

A new Enviroment/Climate poll has been created.

Carbon Trading (also known as emission trading,cap and trade, or cap and tax) is an administrative approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants. Many critics say it not a real solution, as it allows ’sanctioned’ pollution levels and has to much government control. What do you think?
