Over recent months, R L Miller has increasingly impressed me with thoughtful, informed, insightful, and passionate writing. This guest post, on the eve of the Copenhagen climate summit, is visually and intellectually a piece of beauty and pain. Turning and turning in the widening gyre the spin machine twirls and curls: E-Mail Fracas Shows Peril […]

The Washington Post has a sad record of Faux and Balanced when it comes to Global Warming. Sunday’s opinion pieces provided yet another textbook example. Today’s paper has two authors, both enemies of ‘green’ … from utterly different angles.

It’s under ten minutes … And, for any rational person, that ten minutes will shatter any chance of belief that there is a substantive basis for concern about climate science’s foundations due to ClimateGate (SwiftHack). Several moments of particular skill in this takedown of McExperts making noise about ClimateGate 7 minutes in there is the […]

The old adage: A picture is worth 1,000 words.  Does this apply to graphics as well? Today’s Washington Post has a front-page article on ClimateGATE (more appropriately, perhaps SwiftHack) In e-mails, science of warming is hot debate.

The Washington Post‘s editorial board consistently shows its understanding and concerns about Global Warming with editorials that clearly state an understanding of the key facts of Global Warming: Climate Change is real; Human activity is driving the rapidity and severity of change; that unchecked climate change could have catastrophic implications; and, that we (Americans and […]

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 […]
