The McCain campaign realizes that they are in trouble, that it is critical for McSame McCain to blur the realities of McFlip, McFlop, McSame McCain to try to create appearance of quite substantive differences between himself and George W. Bush, to blur the reality that across issue after issue, it truly is McSame McCain. McCain […]

Post on Bush’s speech
April 17th, 2008 · 3 Comments
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. Guess that they have to, although the nation will be far better served when this man no longer occupies the Oval Office. Let us take a few moments […]

WE … WashPost Reporting Balanced vs Objective
April 1st, 2008 · 7 Comments
Tomorrow, Al Gore and the Alliance for Climate Protection are launching a $300 million advertising campaign to mobilize American support for serious action to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in “one of the most ambitious and costly public advocacy campaigns in U.S. history.” One of the real challenges when it comes to press reporting on […]

Greenwashing reckless legislation?
March 12th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Barbara Boxer has been a real leader on Global Warming issues in the US Senate. A leader who suffered for far too long under the ‘tutelage’ of Senator James Inhofe (R-Exxon). Sadly, for whichever set of reasons, Senator Boxer has being working hard to corral votes in support of the fatally flawed Lieberman-Warner Coal Subsidy Act […]

Harry & Louising Global Warming Legislation
February 24th, 2008 · 5 Comments
To be clear, the Lieberman-Warner Coal Subsidy Act (mischaracterized as the American Climate Security Act) is inadequate and bad legislation. It violates basic principles for Global Warming legislation. (For example, it does not meet scientific minimums for giving a 50% chance of avoiding catastrophic climate change.) And, the Coal-Subsidy Act is a corporate giveaway of resources (such as the […]

Global Warming Legislation: What matters?
February 14th, 2008 · 8 Comments
Energy and Global Warming are complex, multifaceted, deep subjects. They are beyond the ability of any single person to totally master. And, a great challenge to those focused on them is seeking how to communicate, in a meaningful way, to those who don’t have the ability to dedicate huge chunks of time to learning about […]

WashPost Blurs R-D Presidential Race’s Climate Change Differences
February 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment
For anyone who pays close attention, it is clear that John McCain is far behind both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton when it comes to Global Warming. McCain’s campaign might be a “Green Straight Talk Express” but, when given the opportunity to act, Senator McCain’s reality is more like a Dirty Energy Twisted Delay Action […]

February 5th, 2008 · 3 Comments
Greenpeace has sent a letter to Senator Barbara Boxer expressing their support for Friends of the Earth (FoE) effort calling on the Senate to Fix or Ditch the Lieberman-Warner Global Warming Bill. Senator Boxer jabbed back at FoE “They’re sort of the defeatist group out there. They’ve been defeatists from day one. And it’s unfortunate. […]

On being called out by Environmental Defense
February 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Environmental Defense sent out an e-mail to Senate staffs and Senators specifically calling out this blogger for attention, calling for advertising coordination between Senators and Environmental Defense in support of the Lieberman-Warner Coal Subsidy Act (CSA, mistakenly called the Climate Security Act). My statement: I am saddened that Environmental Defense seems far more interested in […]
