MJ on Whole Foods’ CEO’s climate ignorance

January 5th, 2010 · Comments Off on MJ on Whole Foods’ CEO’s climate ignorance

I regret not seeing Kate Sheppard’s excellent discussion at Mother Jones prior to writing Whole Foods’ CEO vs Whole Foods’ Values? and Whole Paycheck’s “Crazy Uncle”’s crazed global warming ignorance. Kate addresses the connection between Mackey’s statements/views, Whole Foods’ lobbying (or lack of it), and governmental action on environmental issues. As with The New Yorker […]

Whole Foods’ CEO vs Whole Foods’ Values?

January 4th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Whole Foods’ CEO, John Mackey, has made news with a New Yorker profile quoting him promoting the rejection of climate change science. (See Whole Paycheck’s “Crazy Uncle”‘s crazed global warming ignorance.) When it came to his climate science ignorance, the article’s author commented One would imagine that, on this score, many of his customers, to […]

Whole Paycheck’s “Crazy Uncle”‘s crazed global warming ignorance

January 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Nick Paumgarten penned an excellent piece on Whole Foods’ CEO (and former Chairman of the Board) John Mackey in the 4 January 2010 New Yorker, Food Fighter: Does Whole Foods’ C.E.O. know what’s best for you? John Mackey … sees himself as a “daddy” to his fifty-four thousand employees, who are known as “team members,” […]

Science vs Belief … a perspective for discussions

December 23rd, 2009 · Comments Off on Science vs Belief … a perspective for discussions

This guest post comes from scientist rb137. Many of us are disappointed about the results coming from COP15, and we’re concerned that the world isn’t addressing climate change fast enough. We’re afraid that by the time we get enough people on board it will be too late. One of the problems we face is that […]

Barton can’t see Arctic or Himalayas from his porch

December 18th, 2009 · Comments Off on Barton can’t see Arctic or Himalayas from his porch

While Sarah Palin might be able to see Russia from her front porch, evidently Representative Joe Barton can’t see the polar ice cap from his.  Throwing aside the adage that politics ends at the water’s edge, Barton and some Republican global warming denying colleagues traveled to Copenhagen to try to undermine the COP15 talks. As […]

Rep Linder’s Calls for US to Be Blindfolded Lemmings

December 17th, 2009 · Comments Off on Rep Linder’s Calls for US to Be Blindfolded Lemmings

In a recent Politico OPED, Representative John Linder calls on the US to not jump off the cliff for climate. Looking at his truthiness-laden and error-filled opinion piece drives to the conclusion that Linder doesn’t want Americans to jump off the cliff, but more simply to wear blindfolds and walk over the cliff into catastrophic […]

Throwing around the “Hitler” term

December 10th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Success is the important thing. Propaganda is not a matter for average minds, but rather a matter for practitioners. It is not supposed to be lovely or theoretically correct. I do not care if I give wonderful, aesthetically elegant speeches, or speak so that women cry. The point of a political speech is to persuade […]

If flat earthers had unlimited funds, would we fly around the globe?

December 9th, 2009 · 2 Comments

If the people that believed the moon landing was staged on a movie lot had access to unlimited money from large carbon polluters or some other special interest who wanted to confuse people into thinking that the moon landing didn’t take place, I’m sure we’d have a robust debate about it right now. This is […]

Fred Hiatt jumps the shark in dragging Washington Post into the sewers: Publishes Sarah Palin OPED contradicted by links within the OPED

December 8th, 2009 · 15 Comments

As someone weaned on the Watergate-era Washington Post, The Washington Post opinion section has  been abysmal in its ‘faux and balanced’ nature in recent years. And, it is sinking to a new low in its fostering of a ClimateGate era. Post Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt’s utter disdain for truthful discourse has been evidenced not […]

Distorting David Frum weighs in on ClimateGATE/Swifthack

December 7th, 2009 · 5 Comments

Linked from CNN.com’s home page, David Frm weighs in with a disingenuous discussion of ClimateGATE (SwiftHack) with The Distorted Global Warming Debate that is a combination of truthful insight and distorting truthiness. Frum’s argument that the United States (and, well, likely elsewhere) is descending into self-ghettoization intellectually, with people seeking ‘facts’ that support their beliefs […]
