Tepid On Global Warming

Laptop Battery When President Bush last year rejected the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 as a way to curb global warming, he promised to come up with an alternative. The result was the package of toothless proposals he unveiled Thursday, a Valentine's Day gift to the polluting industries that want no part of Kyoto's mandatory reductions in emissions.

    -- IBM is a global leader in the creation, development and manufacture of cutting edge computer systems.

Thinkpad The Kyoto accord calls on the major industrialized countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 5.7 percent below their 1990 levels. While it is an ambitious goal, environmentalists say that even that might not be adequate to stop the warming process, which threatens to damage crops and cause disastrous flooding of islands and other low-lying areas.

Microsoft The role of the United States in reducing emissions is critical because it produces 25 percent of greenhouse gases with just 5 percent of the world's population. On a per capita basis, the United States produces twice as much as Germany, which is hardly an undeveloped country.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Laptop Computers Under the Bush plan, utilities, automakers, and other industries could avail themselves of tax credits but would face no mandatory reductions in the largest single greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. The schedule of voluntary cutbacks the president's plan envisions would simply continue an existing trend in which greenhouse gases per unit of production have declined.

Laptop Computer Bush's failure to regulate carbon dioxide emissions contradicts a 2000 campaign promise to do so; he reneged last year. Regulation would inevitably force utilities to burn less coal, the fuel that produces the most carbon dioxide, a course that both the power companies and coal producers resist.

Desktop Computer While the trend of greenhouse emissions trailing economic growth is positive, it does not yield the absolute reductions in the gases that could at least slow the process of atmospheric warming. On the transportation front, recent data are especially discouraging.

Notebooks Last year, for the first time since the 1970s, there was a decline in the overall average fuel efficiency of cars sold in the United States. This marked a disheartening defeat for two long-term policy goals: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to become more self-reliant in energy.

Lenovo The Bush plan addresses this by proposing tax credits for purchasers of alternative-energy vehicles. For the long term, the Bush administration wants to reduce oil consumption in autos by tying its wagon to the star of hydrogen fuel cells, a technology that is probably 20 to 30 years from practical use.

Hard Drive That technology is worth supporting with both public and private investments. But in the meantime Congress should pursue a carrot-and-stick approach that includes alternative-energy vehicle tax credits and also punishes automakers if they fail to make substantial improvements in the combined average efficiency of all the passenger vehicles they sell.

Travelstar Both carrot and stick are called for because the consequences of inaction are so serious. The more gasoline US cars burn, the more emissions they spew out, causing not just global warming but also smog and attendant respiratory ills. Increased oil consumption also ties the hands of US policy makers in the Middle East, the biggest source of oil imports.

Gateway Unfortunately, the House of Representatives has approved an energy policy that is little better than the one cobbled together by Enron, other utilities, and big oil for the Bush administration. The House bill calls for only a negligible decrease in vehicle fuel consumption.

Laptop Parts That leaves the Senate. Senator John Kerry is backing legislation to require a substantial gain in efficiency by cars, pickup trucks, minivans, and SUVs. By 2013 these vehicles would have to average 35 miles per gallon versus the 24 miles per gallon that they average now. The National Academy of Sciences said last year that significant gains are possible without breakthroughs in fuel technology.

Software The Kerry bill also proposes attractive tax credits for buyers of hybrid vehicles, which run on gasoline and electric power, and vehicles that use alternative fuel systems, such as natural gas or ''plug in'' battery electricity. The credits could be decisive in raising such vehicles from niche status to common use.

Hard Drives For instance, the buyer of one of Honda's planned hybrid Civics could pocket a tax credit close to the $1,500-to-$3,000 difference between a hybrid and an all-gasoline Civic. The hybrid Civic, which is likely to cost about $20,000 when it goes on the market next month, will get 48 miles per gallon on the highway and in the city with an automatic transmission. The equivalent regular Civic gets 38 miles per gallon on the highway and 30 in the city.

Electronics Neither tax credits nor higher fuel efficiency standards would be needed if the nation made a policy decision to raise gasoline taxes to push consumers to higher efficiency. For the time being, though, Kerry's combination of tax credits and sterner requirements for automakers would help curb the squandering of this resource and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Canon Transportation is just part of the greenhouse gas equation. But it is an especially important part because the outsized SUV has become such an international symbol of US inaction on global warming and because vehicles are replaced much more frequently than power plants or central air-conditioning systems. The Senate should provide the leadership on this issue that the administration and the House have abdicated.
