This is a full reposting, at request, of a post by insightful science writer Shawn Lawrence Otto. The problems of questionable publishing on science issues is far (sadly) from limited to the mediocre post re the Denialist 49’s letter to NASA. There was, for example, Harold Ambler’s post re Vice President Gore which led Arianna […]

Obama’s Four-Letter Words and Cushing, Oklahoma
March 22nd, 2012 · 6 Comments
President Barack Obama is barnstorming the nation promoting his “all-of-the-above” energy policy. Watching this parade reinforces that ‘Climate Change’ and ‘Global Warming’ (let alone climate chaos or catastrophic climate chaos or …) appear to be banned four-letter phrases in the Obama Administation lexicon. Yesterday, the President was in Boulder City, Nevada, standing in front of a solar electricity […]

ALEC lets Inhofe have it …
March 19th, 2012 · 2 Comments
No, we’re not talking about the right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) efforts to push radically conservative corporative legislation through state legislative bodies (such as ALEC re climate change) but Alec Baldwin. Perhaps sparked by global warming denier Jim Inhofe’s recent appearance on the Rachel Maddow Show, Baldwin launched a series of tweets attacking Inhofe: […]

According to Joe Bastardi, humanity must live in the mountains?
March 12th, 2012 · Comments Off on According to Joe Bastardi, humanity must live in the mountains?
Joe Bastardi, who has a long record of dissembling truthiness and truthlessness when it comes to climate science issues, appeared on Fox News (yet again). Of of his comments has received much attention: BASTARDI: CO2 cannot cause global warming. I’ll tell you why. It doesn’t mix well with the atmosphere, for one. For two, its […]

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 […]
