The Earth’s Not Worth Saving

January 28th, 2011 · 1 Comment

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.

Why does Jay Rockefeller hate good investments?

December 27th, 2010 · 3 Comments

Let’s play word association. Read the following phrase and what’s the first thing that comes to mind. Rich family … There are, of course, many possible from Hilton to Mellon to Rothschilds to … Yes, there are many that might come to mind.  For me, the ‘first to mind’ would be the Rockefellers.  Robber baron […]

Scientific Findings… 2010

December 9th, 2010 · 1 Comment

This thoughtful comment reviewing the ‘great scientific findings of 2010’ from a Net Guy in CT reacting to Climate Zombie manifestations highlights the scientific illiteracy required to reject carbon dioxide’s relationship to global warming. 2010’s Scientific Findings It’s completely dark at the bottom of the ocean. X-rays actually work (like in the doctor’s office) Stealth […]

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

November 26th, 2010 · 3 Comments

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 […]

Giving Thanks for Hopeful Pessimists

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. An optimist is assuming things will work out and it doesn’t necessarily rely on their efforts or necessarily require any special action to end […]

This discusses his approach and here is an amusing ‘template’ to for rapid letter writing. Now, I have always written letters and even […]

Zombies Invade The People’s House

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 […]
