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, […]

The Last Frontier’s Struggle For Our Future: Climate Hero vs Climate Peacock and Climate Zombie

September 29th, 2010 · 1 Comment

“Alaska: The Last Frontier” is so eerily echoing of The Final Frontier. And, as with ever so many episodes of Star Trek: The Final Frontier, The Last Frontier is seeing a struggle that could have life-or-death implications for a planet. At this time, the U.S. Senate is the roadblock between U.S. action (even if inadequate) […]

Nissan’s aggressive Leaf campaign sets an example

September 13th, 2010 · 3 Comments

September 13th, 2010 · 4 Comments

Sadly, with each day, Republican Anti-Science Syndrome suffering is becoming ever more pronounced.

Unpublished letters: Recognizing Jim Hansen

September 6th, 2010 · Comments Off on Unpublished letters: Recognizing Jim Hansen

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 […]
