To the 180 Members of the House of Representatives Who Voted Against Sandy Disaster Relief:

Dear Founding Member of the Jackass Caucus,
I write following the House of Representatives’ passage of HR 152, the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, which will fund relief and rebuilding for the [...]

This guest post comes from DWG and covers something that the vast majority of Americans are unaware is happening.  And, well, how many schools could be renovated, roads repaired, policemen hired, and other public services provided with the tax subsidies that the ever-so impoverished fossil fuel industries are pocketing?
NOTE:  Let us be clear, however, that [...]

Buying a compact fluorescent light will not solve Global Warming by itself. Do it anyway. It is an essential component in the grand strategy by which we build ourselves into the foundations of a mass movement, constructed piece by piece, to the point where our opposition cannot resist us, and we [...]

In discussion of one of my recent posts, Kyril reacted to a questionable question from another commentator with perhaps the clearest differentiation between a science skeptic and denier that I have ever seen. As we seek to inform others about the perils of anti-science syndrome, such a clear (if perhaps sophomoric) differentiation might have value. Kyril’s [...]

This guest post from eOz derived from a response to something that I wrote commenting about how the fires in Colorado and heat records falling across the country seemed to have people thinking climate change. eOz’s thoughts merits a posting of its own.
I also work with a variety of clients, many of whom buy into [...]

Have humanity driven the climate system beyond the tipping point beyond which preventing catastrophic climate chaos is no longer a viable option?
Have emergent catastrophic climate chaos, as evidenced in US wildfires and high temperature records falling like bowling pins, created a tipping point in American public opinion that might enable a movement toward actual government [...]
