Get Energy Smart! NOW!

The Washington Post asked the other day “what’s going on” that people are confused about climate and energy issues. Well, today’s The Washington Post provided yet another example, in a distressingly long list of examples, as to why that confusion.
Entitled The Green Jobs Myth, former GE Smart Grid engineer Sunil Sharan argues that (as [...]

The Washington Post editorial board came out with a strong statement about climate change that, even with its few errors, would be an important statement if it weren’t such a monumental travesty in the face of actual Washington Post editorial policy and practices.
Entitled Climate Insurance, the editorial begins.
THE EARTH is warming. A chief cause is [...]

The Washington Post has an incredibly uneven nature when it comes to the science related to Climate Change. The editorial page will publish an absolutely dishonest piece, be challenged to such an extent that they will publish multiple letters (including from misquoted scientists/scientific institutions) calling out the fraudulent material, and then give George “Will-ful Deceit” [...]

Within journalism, there is a real challenge. Are there, truly, two sides to every issue? Should all voices be treated equally? Do journalists have a responsibility to assess statements for truthfulness or is the job simply to be a transcriber and “reporter” of whatever is told to them? How can one be [...]

The Washington Post has a sad record of Faux and Balanced when it comes to Global Warming. Sunday’s opinion pieces provided yet another textbook example. Today’s paper has two authors, both enemies of ‘green’ … from utterly different angles.

The old adage: A picture is worth 1,000 words.  Does this apply to graphics as well?
Today’s Washington Post has a front-page article on ClimateGATE (more appropriately, perhaps SwiftHack) In e-mails, science of warming is hot debate. Showing the heat of the debate, the article already has 255 comments as of 7:55 on a Saturday morning. [...]

The Washington Post’s editorial board consistently shows its understanding and concerns about Global Warming with editorials that clearly state an understanding of the key facts of Global Warming: Climate Change is real; Human activity is driving the rapidity and severity of change; that unchecked climate change could have catastrophic implications; and, that we (Americans and [...]

In Sunday’s Washington Post, yet another inane, deceptive, truthiness laden OPED appears on energy issues. Not satisfied with publishing George Will’s Will-ful Deceit, Krauthammer’s fact-free forays into energy analysis, Samuelson’s truthiness, and Sarah Palin’s paltry shallowness, and others, Kathleen Parker has stepped up to the plate for an attack on the American Clean Energy and [...]
