Amid continuing fervent denials in the Republican Party, such as Senator James Inhofe (R-Exxon), prominent Republicans speaking forcefully on Global Warming can be a refreshing change. This is why, for example, John McCain gets praised, even though his ‘solutions’ would likely doom humanity to catastrophic climate change. Recognizing reality is so rare. Even rarer, truth […]

Husband or Wife on framing environmental issues
April 21st, 2008 · Comments Off on Husband or Wife on framing environmental issues
How should environmental organizations and prominent “environmental” politicians speak to supporters when it comes to environmental issues and when it comes to the Lieberman-Warner Climate (In)Security Act? This is a serious issue that can get some blood boiling. Privately, some have sent complaints that Plumbing Lieberman-Warner’s Shortfalls Doesn’t Meet Scientific Requirements wasn’t fair since it […]

Plumbing Lieberman-Warner’s shortfalls: doesn’t meet scientific requirements
April 18th, 2008 · 5 Comments
As one who has voiced, repeatedly, criticism of S-2191, the Lieberman-Warner Coal-Subsidy Act, it is important to occasionally return to facts (rather than rhetoric) to underline its weakness. Thus, climate legislation Principle #1 is “Scientific integrity”, that climate legislation is line with what science says is required. Let’s plumb the depths of Lieberman-Warner’s failures just […]

What makes good reporting on climate change?
April 18th, 2008 · 1 Comment
When considering the reporting on Climate Change, there is a real problem. Is this a “science” or a “policy”/”political” issue? If the first, then there is a different approach than if the second. “Science” reporting will have respect for fact and truth, with “objective” being associated with truth, with the more serious effort to pay […]

Toles: The Pulitzer the Post Deserves
April 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Tom Toles, the Washington Post editorial page political cartoonist, is almost certainly the top of the ranks when it comes to political cartoons on the critical issue of Global Warming.

Sadly, newspapers are reporting on George W Bush’s monstrocity of a speech on Climate Change, making a mockery of the concept of action related to Glboal Warming.

Energy Smarting J Street?
April 16th, 2008 · 6 Comments
To say that the Israeli-Palestinian, Israeli-Arab conflict has been an intractable element of international politics is an understatement along the lines of saying that George the W’s Administration hasn’t been weak on Global Warming. It is hard to state these sad truths wrongly enough. Sadly, the United States’ ability to be a positive player in […]
