For 2010, Warren S made a commitment with a New Year’s Resolution. Every day, another letter to the editor or a politicians about climate change and global warming issues.

Trying to decide on dinner? Why not learn “How to Boil a Frog”?

December 7th, 2010 · Comments Off on Trying to decide on dinner? Why not learn “How to Boil a Frog”?

After all, collectively, isn’t that what we’re doing? Aren’t we all, in our own and in our collective ways, truly expert at boiling frogs? Bit by bit, incrementally, as Gore used the analogy, we are destroying ourselves and not taking the actions necessary to turn things around. This post is sparked by my new-found desire […]

Scientists admit major error in key global temperature data

November 26th, 2010 · 3 Comments

November 22nd, 2010 · 2 Comments

WarrenS has taken on an admirable resolution: to send a letter to the editor (LTE) (or, well, a major politician) every single day, on the critical issues of climate change and energy. This discusses his approach and here is an amusing ‘template’ to for rapid letter writing. Now, I have always written letters and even […]

Zombies Invade The People’s House

November 19th, 2010 · 3 Comments

Sadly, we’re not talking some third-rate B- movie to be released only on DVDs nor is this some Zombie Walk flash mob action. Sadly, its reality.  Come January, Climate Zombies will dominate the majority party in the House of Representatives and have more seats in the most exclusive club on the planet (e.g., the U.S. […]

Christian Science Monitor joins the scam machine …

October 19th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Have to say, writ large, of the ‘traditional print’ outlets in the United States, the Christian Science Monitor has traditionally rated quite high with me. While it isn’t part of my every day reading, I have valued it when I’ve gotten my hands dirty reading it. In other words, it really was a bit of […]

October 18th, 2010 · Comments Off on Americans Trust Scientists Over Climate Deniers

This guest post from Patriot Daily News Clearinghouse examines the disconnect between the Republican Party leadership and how Americans have confidence in scientists.  This highlights the importance of educating the public about climate science — and how the Obama Administration has failed in this educational responsibility. For years, climate deniers have lied and misinformed to […]

October 9th, 2010 · Comments Off on 10/10/10/10/10/10: Where will you be?

A simple question: Where will you be at the 10th second of the 10th minute of the 10th hour of the 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th year? As for me, in a little more than 10 hours, I will be in an attic, adding insulation to cut down power demands. And, […]

Nissan’s aggressive Leaf campaign sets an example

September 13th, 2010 · 3 Comments

Last evening, my better 95+% was flipping through the channels and received the rare: stop, go back to that. What was that? A Nissan “innovation” advertisement in which the Nissan Leaf played a prominent roll, “if you never needed to buy another gallon of gas …” Watching this well-done advertisement made me think of Who […]
