Scientists at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center have published a study, Evidence for a recent increase in forest growth, suggesting that climate change can quite literally be measured by treehuggers. Like the average American citizen, American trees look to have had increasingly bulging middles in recent decades. Having spent their careers quite literally hugging trees, […]

Those seeking to undermine knowledge and respect for science, whether it is those who decry Charles Darwin’s laying out of evolution or fossil-foolish interests attacking Nobel Prize winners, have something to fear when Barack Obama chooses to speak (with or without a teleprompter). While there were many reasons for his election, his ability to speak […]

A (sometimes too) calm of voice of sanity has been silenced before his time. Martin Bosworth has passed away, a victim in the nation’s health care wars, the perfect patient for the health care system: he worked mightedly to keep himself healthy and away from doctors’ offices, a strategy that worked well when he was […]

The title of this travesty of something claiming to be journalism: Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There […]

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” […]

One of America’s top meteorologists, Jeff Masters, and Dr Joe Romm, author of one of the most important books re climate change and politics, held a press teleconference focused on extreme weather, the recent (DC area) snowstorms, and climate science. The audio makes for, sadly, too interesting listening as so many of the reporters seemed […]

Prominent elements Republican Party and associated anti-science syndrome sufferers are gleefully (and ignorantly) making jokes about the Washington, DC, area’s record snow levels, using this to confuse people about the realities of Global Warming. The reality of Global Warming is that “warmth” isn’t what all of us will feel with each moment, after all that […]

The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) recently released an informative video: The Power of Scale. What fleet efficiency can do for your company and the planet This video seeks to provide a path to understand that individual actions can add up, inexorably, to something much larger. Just like millions of SUV tailpipes are contributing to driving […]
