Mitt Romney’s RNC (and beyond) climate joke should haunt him

November 5th, 2012 · Comments Off on Mitt Romney’s RNC (and beyond) climate joke should haunt him

This guest post comes from Dean Baker who, in a sane world, would be on (or chairing) the White House Council of Economic Advisors.  Who knows, perhaps there is hope that the United States will turn to sanity in Sandy’s wake on climate change and other issues … When Gov. Romney gave his acceptance speech […]

“Welcome to the rest of our lives”

July 9th, 2012 · Comments Off on “Welcome to the rest of our lives”

“Welcome to the rest of our lives“ is the latest video from someone who should be one of the world’s most important videographers, Peter Sinclair (or Greenman3610).

Englander tried to structure his presentation as “non-partisan”, stating that his book aimed to reach people who might be ‘turned off’ by […]

Obama’s Four-Letter Words and Cushing, Oklahoma

March 22nd, 2012 · 6 Comments

President Barack Obama is barnstorming the nation promoting his “all-of-the-above” energy policy. Watching this parade reinforces that ‘Climate Change’ and ‘Global Warming’ (let alone climate chaos or catastrophic climate chaos or …) appear to be banned four-letter phrases in the Obama Administation lexicon. Yesterday, the President was in Boulder City, Nevada, standing in front of a solar electricity […]

ALEC lets Inhofe have it …

March 19th, 2012 · 2 Comments

No, we’re not talking about the right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) efforts to push radically conservative corporative legislation through state legislative bodies (such as ALEC re climate change) but Alec Baldwin. Perhaps sparked by global warming denier Jim Inhofe’s recent appearance on the Rachel Maddow Show, Baldwin launched a series of tweets attacking Inhofe: […]

Climate Disruption Activists Seek Aid re Arrests for Disrupting Climate Disrupters

May 4th, 2011 · Comments Off on Climate Disruption Activists Seek Aid re Arrests for Disrupting Climate Disrupters

As you are so well aware from the massive media coverage (note the sarcasm?), 10,000 youth climate activists gathered in Washington, DC, last month, in Powershift 2011.  Powershift representatives met with the President (for a first-person account, see What I Said at The White House). They shared their stories — successes and failures. They engaged with key leaders and […]
