A (sometimes too) calm of voice of sanity has been silenced before his time. Martin Bosworth has passed away, a victim in the nation’s health care wars, the perfect patient for the health care system: he worked mightedly to keep himself healthy and away from doctors’ offices, a strategy that worked well when he was […]

Some Sanity amid the Commonwealth’s Insanity
February 19th, 2010 · 1 Comment
At times, the expression ‘the inmates have taken over the asylum’ seems all too relevant to the governance process and is sadly too true when it comes to the Commonwealth of Virignia. Yesterday, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli declared that his “belief” system evidently trumps science as he committed the Commonwealth and its citizens’ taxes to […]

Daily Mail Distortions Deluding Denialosphere
February 15th, 2010 · 1 Comment
The Denialosphere is in rapture due to a Daily Mail story earlier today which, in a very distorted write-up, claims that a major climate scientist has stated that there is no warming since 1995. The title of this travesty of something claiming to be journalism: Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There […]

POSTal Schizophrenia re Climate Science strikes again
February 14th, 2010 · 1 Comment
The Washington Post has an incredibly uneven nature when it comes to the science related to Climate Change. The editorial page will publish an absolutely dishonest piece, be challenged to such an extent that they will publish multiple letters (including from misquoted scientists/scientific institutions) calling out the fraudulent material, and then give George “Will-ful Deceit” […]

Dear GOP: Please Stop “Bring ‘Em On”ing Mother Nature
February 10th, 2010 · 1 Comment
This guest post comes from The Green Miles who, with reason, is appalled at the Virginia GOP’s determination to display its anti-science syndrome credentials for all the world to see. [Note: for a related, background, post, see: Cold Weather … the glaring need for context You just had to do it, didn’t you, Republican Party […]

Business Week Careless About Facts in Misrepresentation of Climate Science
January 31st, 2010 · 2 Comments
Poor misunderstood Bob Lutz. How dare Lutz be castigated for stating that “Global warming is a crock of s*%t!” After all, he follow this with “”Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not a climate denier.” This is, in essence, the opening for an atrociously error-filled Business week column by Ed Wallace that piles misrepresentation on top of […]

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 […]
