Climate Wars Reach New Lows

Order Valium Online Last week, the Los Angeles Times wrote that the Heartland Institute “found itself duped out of several confidential fundraising documents that were then distributed widely over the Internet, offering a glimpse of its priorities.” This was true. The LA Times, noting that the Heartland Institute “pilloried climate scientists whose stolen emails were released in 2009 as part…Continue Reading…

Climate Tribalism on Display

https://drreddyfamilydoctors.com/womans-health/ Several weeks ago, I wrote that the climate discourse was “trapped in a negative feedback loop.”  The two extremes on the spectrum, I said, reinforced each other via their “separate echo chambers.” A strong characteristic of this dynamic, which many have lamented (and just as many have dismissed) is tribalism. The reaction to the Heartland disclosures/leak/theft/fabrication…Continue Reading…

New Approaches to Climate Change

https://www.munshinegroup.com/home-nonprofit/clients/ Too often the ugly, conflict-ridden side of the climate debate is what dominates the blogosphere and news coverage. To a great extent, that’s an expression of human predilection, which the media mirrors. So it’s refreshing when I can hang out with a group of super-smart people who are at the forefront of new approaches to…Continue Reading…

Climate Skeptic Organization Feels the Heat

Order Ultram Online UPDATE: The Heartland Institute has responded. See bottom of this post for an excerpt. Somebody sent the Heartland Institute a wicked Valentine. It was probably meant for Joseph Bast, Heartland’s President and CEO.

Come Together

In recent years, when the U.S. was mired in two wars that seemed to be ignored by the public at large, some politicos and pundits talked about resurrecting the military draft.  As you can guess, the idea didn’t gain any traction. We Americans prefer to outsource our wars to willing volunteers. But what about some…Continue Reading…

Zero Sum Climate Politics

The partisan climate debate seems to surprise those who don’t normally swim in its treacherous waters. Joe Nocera, a NYT business columnist, appears taken aback by his experience this week, which he discusses today: Here’s the question on the table today: Can a person support the Keystone XL oil pipeline and still believe that global warming poses…Continue Reading…

Our Skewed Risk Perception of Nuclear Power

You may have heard, as Scientific American reports, that the “U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) voted to allow construction of two new nuclear reactors” in Georgia. It’s a pretty big deal, since Jimmy Carter was President the last time a commercial reactor was approved. As the LA Times notes, the new Georgia plant is supposed to…Continue Reading…

Politicos Steer the Climate Debate

https://advogadoemresende.com/audiencia-publica-maes-em-carcere/ Do you want to know who really influences public opinion on climate change? It’s not famous climate scientists (or climate bloggers) or Exxon Mobil, or even the media (well, just a little). It’s politicians. They drive the debate (for better and worse). Don’t believe me? Read this recently published study, which I discuss in a…Continue Reading…

A Climate Hawk Gets Real

Purchase Xanax Online David Roberts at Grist seems to have had an a ha! moment. In a long, wonky post about the “rebound effect,” he frames the grand challenge of emissions reduction as a problem that offers one of two choices: 2a. Drive down global energy intensity. 2b. Drive down global economic growth. Roberts runs through the math and concludes…Continue Reading…
