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 […]

Unpublished letters: On cool roofing, Lomborg ain’t so cool
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.

Seeking Harmony — prosperity and sustainability working together
November 19th, 2010 · Comments Off on Seeking Harmony — prosperity and sustainability working together

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.

Indiana, hotbed of climate zombies
October 31st, 2010 · 1 Comment
This guest post comes from the thoughtful DWG about a rally and a local Congressman … Last night, I had the privilege of seeing John Mellencamp perform in his hometown of Bloomington, Indiana.

Engage the Climate Zombies!
October 28th, 2010 · 3 Comments
As if you aren’t already aware, the vast majority of Republican candidates for Federal office are “climate zombies”: people who reject the scientific method, falsely accuse the leading scientific institutions and scientists around the world of fraud, and who embrace service to fossil-foolish interests over service to the American people (both today’s and the yet-to-be-born).
