The reality of climate chaos: it is THE Progressive Crisis

December 13th, 2009 · Comments Off on The reality of climate chaos: it is THE Progressive Crisis

Every Progressive should recognize and incorporate, deep in their soul, the plain fact: Global Warming is the single most serious threat to Progressive ideals, concepts, policies, and aspirations through the 21st century … AND today. This is not just a let’s wait until tomorrow issue, that should be put in the back of the line […]

Hat tip to private industry over gov’t: Fast Food safer than school lunches

December 11th, 2009 · 2 Comments

As laid out in Fast Food Nation, the industrial agriculture/food industry have been able to so pressure the government that school lunch programs represented essentially the lowest of the low of American food quality and safety of supply.  While perhaps that rat-infested restaurant, open because of cash into a crooked inspector’s hands, might be worse, […]

The Power of No Regrets … a reprise …

December 11th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Occasionally, it seems worthwhile to resurrect earlier discussions, to try to bring attention to elements that should be part of our national dialogue but which, sadly, seem not ingrained in people’s thinking. No Regrets strategic thinking looks to satisficing — how would this pan out across multiple scenarios. Considering what a No Regrets Strategy would […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Times joins the Truthiness choir when it comes to ClimateGATE

December 7th, 2009 · Comments Off on The Times joins the Truthiness choir when it comes to ClimateGATE

The Times of London had a blockbuster of an item in its reporting of ClimateGate: The Met Office plans to re-examine 160 years of temperature data after admitting that public confidence in the science on man-made global warming has been shattered by leaked e-mails. This is serious, isn’t it? One of the key government institutions, […]

ClimateGATE: Some tastes of Truth rather than truthiness

December 3rd, 2009 · 4 Comments

Sadly, we need to spend time on the anti-science syndrome sound machine’s efforts to spin and promote ClimateGate / SwiftHack as something meriting focus rather than recognizing that every serious piece of work in the field is highlighting that the situation of climate change is getting more dire (essentially) on every front of the climate […]

Change in the Weather

December 2nd, 2009 · 7 Comments

This guest post by Martin from Boztopia takes a step back and discusses ClimateGate from ther perspective of an intelligent, non-scientist, observer. I was not planning to write anything about “Climategate” (or the “Swifthack,” as Josh Nelson calls it) initially. I’m no scientist, and definitely not a climatologist, geologist, or anything even remotely qualified to […]

Faux for Balance: Post’s Opinion Section Strikes Out on Climate Change, again …

December 1st, 2009 · 4 Comments

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 […]

George will, won’t he, write about Antarctic ice melting?

December 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment

Sadly, George Will will not be writing something truthful like the material below. Instead, we should expect that he is feverishly working on a column jumping on the denialosphere bandwagon shouting about “ClimateGate” to add his Will-ful deceit to SwiftHack. While news reporting focuses on misreading of stolen emails, the reality is that climate chaos […]
