Putting some Hill Heat on Lobbyist Truthiness

March 18th, 2008 · Comments Off on Putting some Hill Heat on Lobbyist Truthiness

Hill Heat has an exclusive on the first state “climate change dialogue” conducted to try to scare American with the truthiness argument that dealing with global warming will cost jobs. (REMEMBER:  This claim takes the truth out of truthiness: we can create a stronger, richer, more jobs intensive economy by getting off our carbon addiction!)   […]

Lies, Damned Lies, Statistics, and Statistics from industry on pollution control costs

March 13th, 2008 · 6 Comments

One sign that serious people consider some form of carbon-constraining legislation in the United States a serious possibility is the proliferation of industry-funded “analysis” somehow “proving” that “Global Warming is going to wreck the economy”.  You know the old adage, “Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics”.  Well, there really should be a new category added:  Lies, […]

Greenwashing reckless legislation — unintentionally or otherwise

March 12th, 2008 · 4 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 votesin support of the fatally flawed Lieberman-Warner Coal Subsidy Act […]

The Globe’s Future and November’s Choice

March 11th, 2008 · Comments Off on The Globe’s Future and November’s Choice

Dr. Slammy over at Scholars And Rogues is one of those thoughtful bloggers that any/all can gain from reading and considering.  Yesterday, he sent An open letter to Progressive America.  This piece, very worth reading, lays out Dr. Slammy’s regret for his non-vote in 2000.

Energy Smart from Illinois? Foster in Congress …

March 9th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Dennis Hastert’s Congressional seat has been filled. Rather than a seemingly corrupt, extreme right-winger who (at times) makes other Republicans seem almost in the reality-based community, Illinois-14 will be sending someone of substance to the Congress, a man with serious scientific credentials and successful business experience.  Bill Foster is now Congressman Bill Foster. In short: YEAH!  […]

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 […]
