Tomorrow, Al Gore and the Alliance for Climate Protection are launching a $300 million advertising campaign to mobilize American support for serious action to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in “one of the most ambitious and costly public advocacy campaigns in U.S. history.” One of the real challenges when it comes to press reporting on […]

McFlip, McFlop, McSame?

Steadfast stay the course policy making is often overblown. As some have said about George W Bush, ‘you’ll know he’ll say the same thing Wednesday that he said Monday, no matter what happened Tuesday.’ The real world is not static, learning institutions and learning individuals will adapt to changing reality and changing understanding of reality […]

New GW denialists’ deceptive lie on global temperatures

Guest post from BruinKid. They’re at it again. Over at ICECAP, a site that claims to not be made up of global warming deniers, but turns out to host some of the biggest names in the global warming denial field that get serious $$$ from the oil companies, Joseph D’Aleo (a meteorologist, not climate scientist) […]

A Potemkin Village of Ice
March 19th, 2008 · Comments Off on A Potemkin Village of Ice
As reported today in the Washington Post, the cold winter has lead to more Artic ice than has been seen for several years, “maximum sea ice extent in March increased by 3.9 percent over that of the previous three years.” Wow. Global Warming is done and we need to fear the ice? Well, first off, […]

CEI: Truthiness, rather than truth, to destroy the future
March 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments
The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) is launching a national advertising campaign attacking Al Gore. And, via the attacks on Gore, seeking to undermine a growing understanding by Americans that we must act in face of global warming or face quite serious consequences. CEI is focusing on attacking the messenger, rather than the message, since it (and […]

Judging Effectiveness of the Black Hole of Denial …
March 7th, 2008 · 5 Comments
So, at the end of the day, how effective was Heartland Institute’s Black Hole of Denial in New York City? Well, one way to judge is via the media performance. As DeSmogBlog notes: Mainstream media seem to have caught up with climate change denial (caught up with reality, really), just in time to humiliate the […]

A Black Hole of Denial?
February 29th, 2008 · Comments Off on A Black Hole of Denial?
Black holes collapse on themselves, with a such a density that they change the path of light with no light escaping them. In coming days, the Global Warming disinformation organization, the Heartland Institute (“the leading propaganda mill sowing confusion about climate science“), will convene a Global Warming skeptic/delayer/denier coven with the 2008 International Conference on Climate […]

GM’s Lutz: Global Warming “total crock of S–t!”
February 17th, 2008 · 7 Comments
Should anyone wonder why General Motors is in such trouble? When a senior leader (Bob Lutz, Vice Chairman) states that Global Warming is a “total crock of S–t,” might GM shareholders wonder what his core intellectual capacity is? Really, should a Corporate leader be spouting off on the record like that? If he is so […]

WashPost Blurs R-D Presidential Race’s Climate Change Differences
February 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment
For anyone who pays close attention, it is clear that John McCain is far behind both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton when it comes to Global Warming. McCain’s campaign might be a “Green Straight Talk Express” but, when given the opportunity to act, Senator McCain’s reality is more like a Dirty Energy Twisted Delay Action […]
