In the face of mounting unemployment numbers, with even the distorted low ‘official’ unemployment figure above 10 percent, Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid has determined that a (yet to be defined, drafted, considered in committees, passed by the House) jobs bill should be the top of the agenda.

Global warming deniers (self-proclaimed “skeptics”) are enthralled with cherry-picking data and screaming to high heaven every time there is a record cold temperature or some weather event that provides a good photo op for pimping falsehoods about global warming.  Where’s my Global Warming, Dude?, for example, could be called a check-up spot for the weirdest […]

There are all too many denier efforts to confuse and distort the discussion related to climate change. One element of this, which all too often ends up in the press, is to suggest that the random and anti-science voice of deniers, some form of group “petitioning” against a society’s climate-change statement, somehow merits equal weight […]

This is a powerful video from World Wildlife Fund. Take the moment to watch … and, as you wish, share. (And, if you wish, rate it at Youtube.)
