This guest post is from CertaiNOT, who listens to talk radio so that you don’ t have to … Environmental groups thinking of protesting anywhere to support action on climate change should consider picketing the Limbaugh and Hannity superstations. There may be no better place to get Obama’s back and show support for global warming […]

SwiftHack Scandal: What You Need to Know
November 25th, 2009 · 14 Comments
This guest post from Josh at Enviroknow is the most comprehensive and organized post about ClimateGATE that has emerged to date. Josh will be updating this excellent reference document here. First of all, this story should never have been called ClimateGate. Given the similarities between this smear job and the Swift Boat attacks on Senator […]

Large majority of Americans rejecting massively funded disinformation conspiracy
November 24th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Despite the $100s of millions (and likely more accurately, $billions) of resources expended on disinformation, mediocre reporting by the mass media, and the active embrace of falsehoods as part of political manipulation by many of a political party’s leadership, the vast majority of Americans adhere themselves to the basic facts that the globe is warming […]

Energy Bookshelf: Contemplating A “World Without Ice”
November 24th, 2009 · Comments Off on Energy Bookshelf: Contemplating A “World Without Ice”
We ever so casually talk of Arctic ice retreats, the potential for Greenland ice meltage, and the implications of Antarctic ice mass falling due to global warming. Centimeters or inches, those 2100 implications seem so remote and, well, insignificant to most. Henry Pollack’s A World Without Ice provides a strong window on the essential nature […]

Theory, hypotheses, and the like: a scientist’s take
November 24th, 2009 · Comments Off on Theory, hypotheses, and the like: a scientist’s take
For too many Americans, a ‘theory’ is a casual thing like ‘I have a theory as to where I lost the keys.’ They then translate this casual understanding, mentally, when they hear “Theory” referencing science without truly understanding the import of the word. This guest post from chemist chparadise provides perspective on this. There’s been […]

Dark, Cold, Wet Copenhagen and Global Warming
November 23rd, 2009 · Comments Off on Dark, Cold, Wet Copenhagen and Global Warming
There are people who are expert at framing. Put Ronald Reagan (or Barack Obama or any politician) before the flag with an impressive backdrop and the scene amplifies the message. Global Warming … Global Climate Change … The key December meeting is to be held where? Dark, cold, wet, dreary Copenhagen. DARK Copenhagen: We’re talking […]

ClimateGate reveals nefarious conspiracy!
November 21st, 2009 · 12 Comments
I apologize. This post corrects something written yesterday. ClimateGATE reveals nefarious conspiracy? NOT! asserted that the hacked emails from a leading global warming (climate change) science center did not reveal some form of conspiracy in the climate change world. That conclusion was wrong. I apologize. There is a quite serious conspiracy highlighted through ClimateGATE.

ClimateGate reveals nefarious conspiracy? NOT!
November 20th, 2009 · 13 Comments
Roaring through the denialosphere are claims that “Climategate” somehow represents “the final nail in the coffin of ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’”. Sigh. What do we see in these emails? There seem to be some strong anger at those who work hard to distort information in their work and distort science when speaking to non-scientific communities. There […]

November 18th, 2009 · 5 Comments
Dear Claire, Perhaps the American public, who are paying your salary (and your health insurance and your retirement), might think that your job is to work on the hard and important problems that require addressing. Emotions can fly high when dealing with hard and important problems. And, hard and important problems often have people with […]
