Among the latest front, yet another (strong) piece of evidence of the cascading impacts of climate change on eco-systems around the world and the global eco-system’s ability to sustain modern human civilization, scientists have laid out how Lake Tanganyika is heating at an unprecedented rate (at least of 1500 years of scientific analysis) and that […]

Flush Feinstein with her Anti-Science Water Policy?
February 16th, 2010 · 1 Comment
This guest post from Patriot News Daily Clearinghouse turns a critical eye toward Senator Feinstein’s efforts to rewrite long-standing California water policy. It then turns to some great links re climate and environmental issues. The only benefit to Sen. Feinstein’s new measure to unilaterally rewrite California water policy might be to galvanize enough Democrats to […]

Climate Disruption: Airlifting snow from Washington, DC, to Vancouver, British Columbia
February 11th, 2010 · Comments Off on Climate Disruption: Airlifting snow from Washington, DC, to Vancouver, British Columbia
Prominent elements Republican Party and associated anti-science syndrome sufferers are gleefully (and ignorantly) making jokes about the Washington, DC, area’s record snow levels, using this to confuse people about the realities of Global Warming. The reality of Global Warming is that “warmth” isn’t what all of us will feel with each moment, after all that […]

bin Laden’s distorted world view and distorted view of climate change
January 29th, 2010 · 6 Comments
Evidently, Osama bin Laden has released his second message in as many weeks. And, this time, bin Laden’s 12th century lens turns, reportedly, to a real 21st century challenge. Osama bin Laden has accustomed us to wacky, destructive, and immoral approaches to the world. When it comes to climate change, bin Laden doesn’t disappoint — […]

Newsweek moves from green rankings to cashing in Green
November 4th, 2009 · Comments Off on Newsweek moves from green rankings to cashing in Green
What a difference a few weeks makes. September 23-24, Newsweek was the “media partner” for the Council on Competitiveness’ National Energy Summit, mainly dominated by business leaders focused on developing meaningful responses and policies to tackle climate change. That session was a coming out, of sorts, for Newsweek‘s green business rankings, which purported to be […]

September 21st, 2009 · Comments Off on “Values Voters organizers are either unaware, or simply don’t care”
When it comes to global warming and climate change, the recent “Values Voters” conference represented a hot spot of anti-science syndrome. Take a look at this “Breakout session” with a talk by Dr. Calvin Beisner in the “Cabinet Room”. GLOBAL WARMING HYSTERIA: THE NEW FACE OF THE “PRO-DEATH” AGENDA – CABINET ROOM Why did the […]

August 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Virtually with each passing day, the scientific understanding of the depths of our climate change challenge deepens. Just this week, the head of the IPCC, stated (in a private capacity) that the IPCC almost certainly understated the case and has joined an increasing number of scientists calling for a target of 350 ppm of CO2 […]

Perpetuating Naked Fraud in Black Face
July 31st, 2009 · 2 Comments
For far too long and far too extensively, various industries have used astroturfing methods to distort public debate. They create false groups. They fund “institutions” with impressive sounding names to spout deceptive propaganda. All of this is fraud, outright fraud on the very concept of intelligent discourse in a civil society. Now, this “fraud” typical […]

Twitting Claire
June 30th, 2009 · 7 Comments
Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) loves Twitter. And, on more than one occasion, her off-the-cuff comments have caused some uproar. Not the excited notes from a sports fan (shared her same sentiments at that one), but off-hand comments about major policy issues that suggest potentially recklessly shallow understanding of critical issues. After the House voted to […]

Paying attention to “friends”
April 14th, 2009 · 3 Comments
To many in the climate ‘blogosphere’, myself not excepted, the siren’s call of tackling global warming denial, of deceitful astroturf “studies” distorting the situation, and of shoddy ‘faux and balanced’ reporting in the nation’s newspapers of record can eat up too much of our attention. We must pay attention to what is actually going on […]
