Climate Hawks’ Primary: A window on @SenSanders vs @HillaryClinton

March 7th, 2016 · 2 Comments

Simple truth:  Due to the dysfunctional nature of the American political process (and essentially in one major party), there is zero question that the Democratic Party candidate for President will be far better on climate and clean energy issues than the GOP candidate. anyone who considers themselves a Climate Hawk should work, full bore, to […]

10/10/10/10/10/10: Where will you be?

October 9th, 2010 · Comments Off on 10/10/10/10/10/10: Where will you be?

A simple question: Where will you be at the 10th second of the 10th minute of the 10th hour of the 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th year? As for me, in a little more than 10 hours, I will be in an attic, adding insulation to cut down power demands. And, […]

My White House is Solar Cool. Barack, why isn’t yours?

September 3rd, 2010 · Comments Off on My White House is Solar Cool. Barack, why isn’t yours?

Sometimes, your kids tell you great things. We have the coolest house on the street. Wow. We’re cool — according to the kids. Certainly isn’t the non-existent slide for the pool that isn’t there. Our lack of a huge media room and the glaring absence of a gym didn’t contribute. And, while I’ve always thought […]

POSTal Schizophrenia re Climate Science strikes again

February 14th, 2010 · 1 Comment

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” […]

Schizophrenia in my inbox … Global Warming on the mind

December 30th, 2007 · Comments Off on Schizophrenia in my inbox … Global Warming on the mind

Message to message, my inbox demonstrates a split mentality, item A frequently seeming to be from a different world than item B.  My mailbox is confused. Let’s take e-mails from two warriors against Global Warming: Senator Barbara Boxer sharing with me magnificent news about huge progress on the Global Warming front. Bill McKibben letting me know that […]

No wonder people are confused … v2 …

November 15th, 2007 · Comments Off on No wonder people are confused … v2 …

Andrew Revkin, at the New York Times, who I generally find very much worth reading, has a dousy today.  In a review of three global warming books, Revkin speaks of Bjorn Lomborg as a “centrist” and discusses his book without suggesting that there any factual errors or how truthiness runs roughshod over the truth. He […]

WashPost does it right … publishes McKibben …

September 30th, 2007 · 1 Comment

The day after George W Bush gave a speech on climate change that has been panned by all serious reviewers (e.g., diplomats and scientists), The Washington Post did something it is doing too rarely nowadays:  it published an OPED by someone who actually knows something about the subject matter: Bill McKibben.

Stepping it Up … second time around …

August 8th, 2007 · Comments Off on Stepping it Up … second time around …

Global Warming is a massive challenge. It requires serious commitment for change toward a better tomorrow, change from government and from individuals.  Government action can help drive (and facilitate) individual action.  And, well, individual action — individuals acting in concert — can help drive government action. That second, individuals combining to drive a government response, is […]
