For too long, the Democratic Party “machine” has been eerily silent when it comes to the scientific consensus on climate change and the risks that catastrophic climate chaos creates for America and Americans. While much has been said and heard on ‘clean energy’ and ‘green jobs’, the words “climate change” and “global warming” have almost […]

Another Romney Olympic Moment: Climate Zombie Dream Team
August 11th, 2012 · Comments Off on Another Romney Olympic Moment: Climate Zombie Dream Team
Mitt Romney made waves when he crossed the pond to the United Kingdom prior to the Olympics. It is hard to imagine that a prominent American would embarrass the United States with our key ally as it entered to a prominent world event with so many casual insults and errors. One could say that Romney […]

Did John Kasich just become untenable as the Republican VP nominee?
April 10th, 2012 · Comments Off on Did John Kasich just become untenable as the Republican VP nominee?
When it comes to choosing people for the VP slot on the ticket, there are many ‘rule sets’ that seem to be in play: does the candidate have dangerous baggage? (Read Sarah Palin.) Can they handle media scrutiny and interviews? (Again, Sarah …) Can they help deliver a battleground state? (Again, Sarah …) Do they […]

The Republican Agenda To Raise America’s Gas Prices
March 16th, 2012 · 3 Comments
While Newt Gingrich travels the country extolling the power of a magical plan to lower gasoline prices (perhaps revolving around unicorns towing our cars), a simple fact: The Republican policy agenda will lead to increased gasoline prices at the pump in the short, near, mid, and long term while undermining the American economy and American […]

Is Alec Baldwin up to something nefarious when it comes to climate denial?
January 26th, 2012 · 1 Comment
This guest post was originally published at DeSmogBlog from the keyboard of the diligent and thoughtful Steve Horn. On January 16, the Los Angeles Times revealed that anti-science bills have been popping up over the past several years in statehouses across the U.S., mandating the teaching of climate change denial or “skepticism” as a credible “theoretical alternative” to human […]

An election about science
January 13th, 2012 · 10 Comments
When it comes to the November 2012elections, few people identify science as the core issue. Economic concerns (JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!), fossil-foolish fueled anger at government, passions over the role of government, the Occupy Movement (what is happening to the 99% while the 1% profit?), and otherwise are among the many “core” issues. A hidden element […]

Santorum … The pick and choose from Catholic values candidate?
January 6th, 2012 · Comments Off on Santorum … The pick and choose from Catholic values candidate?
Many are, it seems, agag about Rick Santorum due to the devout nature of his Catholicism. While JFK assured America that Rome wouldn’t rule him, Rick seems determined to put into people’s minds the reverse. One of Santorum’s notable stand out features: as serious a climate denial as one can find within a pack of […]
