Shouldn’t surprise anyone, but some of the worst polluters in the country, some of those most determined to fight action on Global Warming, are starting to color their political donations ‘purple’. With Democratic Party control of Congress, high odds that the Hill will tinge even bluer come 2009, and that Barack Obama will be sitting […]

Global Warming: political issue or not?
March 24th, 2008 · Comments Off on Global Warming: political issue or not?
Al Gore likes to comment that Global Warming, its existence and the need to act on it, should not be a political issue. Protecting the earth from global warming is a mandatory part of following Jesus, former Vice President Al Gore said at a “Stewardship of the Earth” luncheon Jan. 31 2008 during the New […]

Dominion … the truthiness continues … forever?
March 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment
Coal is a booming business, with price increases even exceeding those seen for oil. Fossil Fuels and the polluting of the atmosphere are, we can hope, burning their last embers of extravagant enthusiasm. While coal is a booming business, it is also a business under fire, with people like Governor Sibelius standing tall in the […]

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 […]

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) […]

WSJ: the anti-business newspaper of record?
March 19th, 2008 · Comments Off on WSJ: the anti-business newspaper of record?
The Wall Street Journal prides itself as America’s business newspaper of record when, in fact, the editorial board clearly seems to have an anti (sensible) business agenda. Amid the booming “green” business market, they went forward and held what sounds like it was a highly interesting conference last week: Eco:nomics. Amid all of the interesting […]

Operation Iraqi Freedom and Global Warming?
March 19th, 2008 · Comments Off on Operation Iraqi Freedom and Global Warming?
The environmental impact of warfare is real, a cost that is rarely understood or accounted for as this is submerged under the quite real costs in people’s lives and other resources (notably dollars). How many ‘average’ people when consider the U-Boat campaigns of World War II consider the oil slicks and implications for wildlife? The long-term impacts […]
