Politico published a science story by Erika Lovley so bad that, well, there is no legitimate reason to post directly to it directly as opposed to Joe Romm with New media same as the old media. Politico pimps global cooling for Hill deniers, David Roberts with Politico’s journalist malpractice, The Way Things Break with “Scientists” […]

Note to NYT: McCain is White, Obama is not
August 11th, 2008 · Comments Off on Note to NYT: McCain is White, Obama is not
The New York Times published a strong editorial, Energy Fictions, that borders on fantasy itself. Reading (and rereading it) makes one wonder whether the NYTimes editorial board simply need new glasses as they seem not to understand some basic facts. John McCain is White; Barack Obama is not. McCain is old; Obama is not. McCain […]

Pat Sajak: Gl_b_l W_rm_ng D_n_ _ r ( _ssh_l_!)
June 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment
Well, the man who needs aditzy blond to help him spell words has come out of the woodworks. Pat Sajak is a strong-worded Global Warming Skeptic. Sadly, Wheel of Fortune’s host probably has a greater voice than the thousands of IPCC scientists with a segment of the American public … hopefully that segment isn’t highly […]

Fair and Balanced strikes WashPost Global Warming reporting … again
June 26th, 2008 · Comments Off on Fair and Balanced strikes WashPost Global Warming reporting … again
Earlier this week, two Washington Post articles demonstrated, yet again, the Post’s editors’ dedication to modeling Post reporting after Faux News when it comes to Global Warming: “Fair and Balanced” over objective and truthful. In what were otherwise quite interesting and even valuable articles to read, the Post inserted material from Global Warming deniers and […]

500? Perhaps in Dog Years?
June 14th, 2008 · 5 Comments
Have you noticed? Right now, much of Iowa and the Midwest is suffering through a 500 year flooding event. Does it seem like 100 and 500 year events are becoming ever more frequent? If your answer is yes, your impression fits with the scientific analysis. Now, we have to be careful (extremely careful) in the […]

Newsweek editors: are you idiots?
May 14th, 2008 · 5 Comments
“Just wondering,” that’s all. Sort of like George Will’s “Questions for McCain” where Will is “just wondering,” of course, not necessarily showing that he is an imbecile when it comes to science. Peripatetic John McCain, the human pinball, continues to carom around the country as his rivals gnaw on each other. Although action, not reflection, […]

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 […]

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 […]

WashPost Business Section worth a look
November 26th, 2007 · Comments Off on WashPost Business Section worth a look
Monday’s Washington Post business section has an excellent set of articles examining local green businesses. They provide a window on those pursuing green productivity for, it seems, ethical/moral issues first (and financial as corollary) as per Honest Tea and those who started entirely with financial reasons (with any environmental/ethical/moral issues secondary, a corollary) as per Marriott (article […]

Experts say Globe at risk, story page A3 …
November 18th, 2007 · Comments Off on Experts say Globe at risk, story page A3 …
Well, yesterday the International Panel on Climate Change released a quite serious report (pdf), stating that global warming is unequivocally occurring, that humanity is a leading factor, and that major action is required (ASAP) or the damage will go from serious to, well, potentially catastrophic. So, where is this covered? For the Washington Post, page A3 Saturday. […]
