Whacking Moles: A Smörgåsbord of Sanity About “The WSJ 16”:

February 5th, 2012 · 3 Comments

As noted in Whacking 16 Moles, flaring anti-science syndrome suffering climate denier and delayer inanities often divert people from valuable and productive activities. Prominent eruptions of this malady, however, drive white-cell like effort to respond and dampen the damage. With the publication of “No Need to Panic About Global Warming”, “The Wall Street Journal 16” […]

Whacking 16 moles …

January 27th, 2012 · 24 Comments

A major challenge exists: it is far easier to dispense truthiness (and outright deceit)than it is to have to run after and rebut it.  When it comes to anti-science syndrome suffering climate deniers and delayers, the whack-a-mole campaign of dealing with deceit, deception, and diversion is a never-ending and utterly exhausting process. And, that exhaustion […]

Is Alec Baldwin up to something nefarious when it comes to climate denial?

January 26th, 2012 · 1 Comment

This guest post was originally published at DeSmogBlog from the keyboard of the diligent and thoughtful Steve Horn. On January 16, the Los Angeles Times revealed that anti-science bills have been popping up over the past several years in statehouses across the U.S., mandating the teaching of climate change denial or “skepticism” as a credible “theoretical alternative” to human […]

Santorum … The pick and choose from Catholic values candidate?

January 6th, 2012 · Comments Off on Santorum … The pick and choose from Catholic values candidate?

Many are, it seems, agag about Rick Santorum due to the devout nature of his Catholicism.  While JFK assured America that Rome wouldn’t rule him, Rick seems determined to put into people’s minds the reverse. One of Santorum’s notable stand out features: as serious a climate denial as one can find within a pack of […]

Rush Limbaugh rules …

January 4th, 2012 · 1 Comment

the Republican Party? Yet again, a clear example of backpedaling Republican candidates in the face of pressure from Rush Limbaugh: Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has canceled the climate change chapter in his upcoming book of environmental essays after Rush Limbaugh and other commentators targeted its author, atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe.

A window for thinking about “the” military and climate change … and the importance of careful discussions

December 6th, 2011 · 3 Comments

Too often, people point to statements and actions by civilian leadership to state “the military” thinks this or that about energy and climate issues. While  the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) spoke of climate change as a national security issue,  the QDR is always a highly political document driven by civilian (political appointee) leadership even with […]

“The Denial Tango” …

November 11th, 2011 · 1 Comment

As with the United States, Australia has faced a Murdoch media and fossil foolish driven effort to turn the nation’s back on science. In the face of this machine effort, not only has the Australian government adopted a carbon tax that will help turn the nation toward a more sustainable future but the Aussies have […]

Darren Doth Protest Too Much?

October 20th, 2011 · Comments Off on Darren Doth Protest Too Much?

On 18 October, Politco published a Darren Samuelson article entitled “Liberals unhappy with Solyndra focus“. Environmental groups are desperate to shift media attention away from Solyndra’s collapse and toward allegations of Obama administration favoritism to the Keystone XL pipeline, and they’re willing to throw the White House under the bus to do it. This article […]
