This guest post from Veritas Curat (“the truth cures”) merits reading … As currently structured, economics tell us that “the Earth’s not worth saving. “Socialism collapsed because it did not allow prices to tell the economic truth. Capitalism may collapse because it does not allow prices to tell the ecological truth.” – Oystein Dahle, former […]

A year of climate change letters to the editor
January 6th, 2011 · 1 Comment
For 2010, Warren S made a commitment with a New Year’s Resolution. Every day, another letter to the editor or a politicians about climate change and global warming issues. He deserves more than a tip of the hat for keeping that resolution up through the year and, as per this guest post, continuing it into […]

Scientific Findings… 2010
December 9th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Trying to decide on dinner? Why not learn “How to Boil a Frog”?
December 7th, 2010 · Comments Off on Trying to decide on dinner? Why not learn “How to Boil a Frog”?
After all, collectively, isn’t that what we’re doing? Aren’t we all, in our own and in our collective ways, truly expert at boiling frogs? Bit by bit, incrementally, as Gore used the analogy, we are destroying ourselves and not taking the actions necessary to turn things around. This post is sparked by my new-found desire […]

Scientists admit major error in key global temperature data

Anthony Watts (Watt’s Up With That) and others have long argued that there are quite serious problems with temperature records, problems that are so serious that they call into question what science is / scientists are telling us is happening in our planetary climate system due to human influence (through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but […]

November 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment
For a long time, I described myself as a pessimistic optimist (or an optimistic pessimist — just couldn’t remember which …). This changed recently as I learned a critical definitional issue.

November 22nd, 2010 · 2 Comments
WarrenS has taken on an admirable resolution: to send a letter to the editor (LTE) (or, well, a major politician) every single day, on the critical issues of climate change and energy. This discusses his approach and here is an amusing ‘template’ to for rapid letter writing. Now, I have always written letters and even […]

November 19th, 2010 · 3 Comments
Sadly, we’re not talking some third-rate B- movie to be released only on DVDs nor is this some Zombie Walk flash mob action. Sadly, its reality. Come January, Climate Zombies will dominate the majority party in the House of Representatives and have more seats in the most exclusive club on the planet (e.g., the U.S. […]

Seeking Harmony — prosperity and sustainability working together
November 19th, 2010 · Comments Off on Seeking Harmony — prosperity and sustainability working together
This evening, NBC will broadcast Harmony. Harmony could be described, perhaps, as the Prince Charles entry into the documentary film arena, with Prince Charles narrating a discussion both of the global challenges climate change creates and providing thoughtful / meaningful paths to address these challenges to help avert catastrophic climate chaos. For decades, The Prince […]
