The Breitbart of the Climate Change World?

July 27th, 2010 · 7 Comments

A simple fact: Andrew Breitbart has been incredibly effective. With material that legal investigations, reviews by traditional journalism institutions, and other inspections have shown to be “severely edited” material utterly misrepresenting actual events, Breitbart provided the ammunition that enabled the takedown of an organization (ACORN) that had helped — quite literally — 100,000s of people […]

Regular Post Columnist Rejects Paper’s Climate Denial Party Line

July 19th, 2010 · Comments Off on Regular Post Columnist Rejects Paper’s Climate Denial Party Line

Canada’s version of Faux News and the Washington Times, The National Post, has been a fountain of misinformation and deceit when it comes to climate science. The National Post‘s pages have been filled with truthiness dribble from those rejecting science and seeking to distort the science into the public discussion. Last week, The National Post […]

George Will’s next column won’t deal with a simple reality: Washington is wilting while the Arctic is melting

June 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Simply put, Washington, DC, weather is miserable at this time.  It feels like the middle of August, at the moment, with temperatures nearing 100 degree with very high humidity. Life for many: air conditioned house to air conditioned car to air conditioned office, with too much sweat in the seconds moving from one air-conditioned space […]

“All costs, no benefits …”

June 16th, 2010 · 2 Comments

The EPA has issued its analysis of the financial and economic impacts of the Kerry-Lieberman American Power Act.  The bumper sticker summary of their (fundamentally flawed) analysis: action to mitigate climate change is affordable.  Sadly, however, the EPA has continued the strong economic tradition of robust analysis of costs of action with dramatic understating of […]

BP calls for a gas tax!

June 4th, 2010 · Comments Off on BP calls for a gas tax!

A very simple point, brought home to more Americans every day due to the disaster that British Petroleum arrogance and potential criminal negligence has wrought in the Gulf of Mexico: If we are going to move Beyond Petroleum, it is time to start bringing “externalities” into the cost of fuel. These externalities include: Paying for […]

80 by 2050 … An inadequate minimum … And the wrong thing to discuss

June 2nd, 2010 · Comments Off on 80 by 2050 … An inadequate minimum … And the wrong thing to discuss

Looking 40 years out is difficult for most of us and developing effective policy taking 40 years in the future seriously is difficult for most political institutions.  Manana … demain … tomorrow … later … putting off action is natural for us procrastinators. (Note: roughly 20 percent of Americans self-identify as “chronic procrastinators and it […]

Stealing The Work Of A Better Blogger & Calling It My Own

May 18th, 2010 · 7 Comments

This guest post from WarrenS provides a template for the commendable work that he has been doing to seek to illuminate climate and energy issues for newspaper readers across the country. One of the things, by the way, that WarrenS doesn’t mention is that his pieces fall into a context: even if he is not […]

Missing the menacing clouds in the raindrops

May 17th, 2010 · 3 Comments

The obliviousness about humanity’s impact on weather patterns due to climate change continues for all too many in the media. The Washington Post‘s Howard Kurtz provides today’s example.  Kurtz reports on the near media blackout when it comes to the recent (massive) Nashville floods.  Kurtz, just like the Post’s reprinting of the weak AP coverage, […]
