A Trench View of Climate Change

On Sunday, this blog received an instructive (and anonymous) comment that accidentally landed in the spam folder.  It’s from someone who works in U.S. state government on water-related issues (likely in the West). The comment is part of this thread, which was lively until all the typical jousting and preening by combatants overwhelmed it.  I’m… Buy Cheap Tramadol Online Cod Continue Reading…

Rewiring the Mind or the Planet?

https://www.lcclub.co.uk/tkxbuz2 I have a modest proposal: let’s get Paul Ehrlich and Stewart Brand on tour. If we want to have a real debate on how to address climate change, decarbonize energy, feed the world, etc., let’s get these two icons of environmentalism together, on the same stage, at college campuses, town halls, and YMCA’s. Because Ehrlich… https://tankinz.com/qwg5695vm Continue Reading…

Can Climate Policy Change Course?

In recent days, I’ve been conducting Q & A’s via email with authors of The Hartwell Paper, a provocative essay that lays out “a new direction for climate policy.” Today’s interview is with Hartwell co-author Roger Pielke Jr., a professor of environmental studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and whose new book, The Climate… Continue Reading…

Team B

Since Last November, Georgia Tech climate researcher Judith Curry has criticized the groupthink tendencies of a subset of the climate science community. So I’m not surprised to see her echo this sentiment by William Happer, a professor of physics at Princeton University, in his recent congressional testimony: We need to establish a Team B of… https://elisabethbell.com/t7w2km54 Continue Reading…

The Low Hanging Climate Pollutant

https://fotballsonen.com/2024/03/07/1jdvnesrw In the zero-sum climate change debate, there’s not much political space to discuss stopgap measures that would go a long way towards addressing climate change now. Take the issue of black carbon (also known as black soot), a noxious pollutant in developing countries that emanates from inefficient cooking stoves. Here’s a revelatory passage from a… Continue Reading…

A Wicked Problem

https://asperformance.com/uncategorized/waihby1f Several weeks ago, a varied group of distinguished scholars released a provocative treatise, called The Hartwell Paper: A new direction for climate policy after the crash of 2009. It got a decent splash of media coverage. The Economist wrote an excellent overview and analysis. The BBC’s Richard Black posted a respectful and mildly critical review….

Why Climate Journalism is a Rotting Carcass

UPDATE: Do check out the dynamic comment thread, where Andy Revkin makes a confession (and also a tart observation on journalistic peer review); John Fleck calls out a frequent critic of the science press; and Judith Curry corrects some blogospheric “misconceptions” of the media’s coverage of climate issues. Let me make this quick, because according… https://giannifava.org/tzykr9r Continue Reading…

No "Tidy" End in Sight

https://www.jamesramsden.com/2024/03/07/djwg3ofe UPDATE: Skeptics are still grousing about RPJR, but he’s still taking it all in stride. And now, it appears that Steve McIntyre is with Roger on this one, much to the disappointment of Climate Audit fans. Sometimes I think Roger Pielke Jr. is like Spock. His logic is often unassailable but it can leave people… https://www.worldhumorawards.org/uncategorized/dvnbt4ir Continue Reading…

Eco-Inventor Angst

There’s an intriguing, somewhat dispiriting profile by David Owen in the current New Yorker ($ubscription) of an idealistic,  enviro-minded inventor who wants to do good in the world, but is having a hard time overcoming the “limits of innovation.” The subject of the piece is Saul Griffith, who as recently as 2004 was a Ph.D…. https://www.jamesramsden.com/2024/03/07/9nl0pzvj Continue Reading…

Chu on Coal & China & Green Peas

https://giannifava.org/cuz5dvw I’m a little late to this Wired profile on Energy Secretary Steven Chu, since I just started reading the May issue last night.  For hardcore Chu watchers, probably not much is new, but the piece by Daniel Roth is still worth a read, if only to be reminded that the battle against global warming is… https://asperformance.com/uncategorized/ycf098elv Continue Reading…
