The New Year began with a bang over at the Huffington Post: the explosion of a new poster with a diatribe meriting a solid 100 on the Inhofe scale. [To DIGG this post.] As a reminder, thoughtful energy blogger Lou Grinzo (Cost of Energy) developed the concept of The Inhofe Scale. The Inhofe Scale will […]

Denier’s quote: True, but not truthful
December 20th, 2008 · Comments Off on Denier’s quote: True, but not truthful
Links can come in from all over the blogosphere and any/all material one writes on the web are open for quick and easy citation/linkage/quotation. The other day, a prominent Australian climate denier columnist (a good example of a mass media distorter of science who is in the Hall of Shame) chose to quote from a […]

Revisiting Inhofian Deception
December 13th, 2008 · 11 Comments
It must be that time of year again. [DIGG this story.] Just like last year, the Minority on the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Commitee (read James Inhofe (R-Exxon)) has just released another “report” somehow proving that the globe isn’t warming or, if that fails, that humanity has nothing to do with the warming […]

Lovley Display of Scientific Ignorance
November 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Politico published a science story by Erika Lovley so bad that, well, there is no legitimate reason to post directly to it directly as opposed to Joe Romm with New media same as the old media. Politico pimps global cooling for Hill deniers, David Roberts with Politico’s journalist malpractice, The Way Things Break with “Scientists” […]

Truth vs Truthiness: Debating Global Warming with those beyond convincing
November 17th, 2008 · Comments Off on Truth vs Truthiness: Debating Global Warming with those beyond convincing
We see this in blogging spaces, in coffee pot conversations, from right-wing talk show hosts to any conversation in the Senate including Senator James Inhofe (R-Exxon), the ever increasing frustration of those speaking with science and fact in their efforts to speak with, to engage, to convince those rejecting the science in relation to Global […]

The Lomborg chill effect hits again
October 3rd, 2008 · 3 Comments
Bjorn Lomborg is eloquent, articulate, suave, debonair and recklessly dangerous. Lomborg’s disingenous truthiness provides a fourth category to “lies, damned lies, and statistics” which might referred to “Lomborg statistics“. He struck again with a Times opinion piece calling into question UK investment plans to fight global warming. It is hard, almost, to account for all […]

Taking Deception to Extremes: “Drill Now! Pay Less! Vote GOP!”
September 15th, 2008 · Comments Off on Taking Deception to Extremes: “Drill Now! Pay Less! Vote GOP!”
In my neck of the woods, someone is showing a real green thumb (actually, perhaps green hammer) as there is green sprouting all over. Green signs with a gas pump are appearing with the words “Drill Now! Pay Less! Vote GOP!” Now, other than the direct linkage of a gas pump and the Republican Party […]

Sarah Palin’s Angry: Global Warming threatens “My Guy’s” hobby
September 8th, 2008 · Comments Off on Sarah Palin’s Angry: Global Warming threatens “My Guy’s” hobby
Beneath her warm and endearing facade, one could suspect that Sarah “Pit Bull with Lipstick” Palin is outraged at the audacity of Global Warming as it threatens the favored sport of Todd “My Guy” Palin. “My Guy” has won the the “grueling 2,000-mile Tesoro Iron Dog [Pit Bull with Lipstick?] snowmobile race four times.” The now […]

George Carlin: Global Warming Denier … ?
June 27th, 2008 · Comments Off on George Carlin: Global Warming Denier … ?
This video is the rage among the Global Warming denial sect, as they pass it around and post it with great glee following Carlin’s death. Their RIP is a celebration that George was one of theirs. You got people around you. The country’s full of them right now, people walking around all day long, every […]

Fair and Balanced strikes WashPost Global Warming reporting … again
June 26th, 2008 · Comments Off on Fair and Balanced strikes WashPost Global Warming reporting … again
Earlier this week, two Washington Post articles demonstrated, yet again, the Post’s editors’ dedication to modeling Post reporting after Faux News when it comes to Global Warming: “Fair and Balanced” over objective and truthful. In what were otherwise quite interesting and even valuable articles to read, the Post inserted material from Global Warming deniers and […]
