Reality Bites

Experts who are grappling honestly with the national security/climate change nexus will wince when they see this post by the Wonk Room’s Brad Johnson. It’s the kind of blatant political exploitation of recent headlines that some scholars warned about when the climate security meme was picked up prominently by mainstream media last summer. Johnson, doing… Buy Lunesta Generic Eszopiclone Online Continue Reading…

Outsiders Looking In

It’s never a pretty sight when the behaviors of subcultures are suddenly isolated and thrust into a harsh, public spotlight. In such cases, context matters, right? What’s fair for climate scientists should also be for combat soldiers, right? So casting aside whatever opinion you might have of Climategate, let’s say Steve Easterbrook is correct when… Continue Reading…

Diagnosing Climate Security

https://www.cranewoods.com/current-projects/ Now this initiative bears watching, because it gets beyond the fuzzy climate change cause-and-effect rhetoric. If adaptation is going to be done right in Africa–or anywhere–then this approach strikes me as a really smart way to go about it: “It is not enough to say that Ethiopia is vulnerable,” says Joshua Busby, an assistant professor… Continue Reading…

The Media Ecosystem Collapse

https://fancyfrites.com/about/ Who else but Clay Shirky would draw on Joseph Tainter’s seminal 1988 book, “The Collapse of Complex Societies,” to discuss the downfall of a once dominant business model? Noting the regeneration of media on the web, Shirky also makes this very interesting observation: When ecosystems change and inflexible institutions collapse, their members disperse, abandoning old… Continue Reading…

The Energy Security Challenge

Ambien Buy Online There was a time in the mid-2000s when it seemed that every other Thomas Friedman column was about the connection between U.S. oil consumption and terrorism. Here he is in 2005, in “No Mullah Left Behind”: By adamantly refusing to do anything to improve energy conservation in America, or to phase in a $1-a-gallon gasoline… https://www.derekduck.com/faq/ Continue Reading…

The Offshore Drilling Decision

Buy Ativan Online Without Prescription Liberal bloggers are befuddled, enviros are outraged, and the opposition party, as President Obama likely anticipated, is scornful. Most of the conventional analysis is trying to make sense of the Administration’s decision in the context of the Senate’s tortured energy bill negotiations. And because that doesn’t seem to make sense, people are scratching their heads…. Continue Reading…

Divorcing Climate Science

Purchase Ambien Online It’s only a matter of time before “America’s fiercest climate change activist blogger” let’s one rip on this essay by Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger. Above all, Joe Romm will vehemently object to the essay’s central thesis–that energy policy should be divorced from climate science. Doing this would deprive Romm of his main arsenal, which…Continue Reading…

The Denialist

Ambien Online Ordering Over the weekend I attended a large wedding anniversary party in Florida. Lots of smart, successful people in attendance. At one of the tables I was sitting at, a few snow birds were complaining about the unusually cold winter. It sounded as if some pact had been breached. One retiree complained about having to keep…Continue Reading…

The Politics of Failure

It’s the never-ending war on drugs, of course. Steve Chapman at Reason has a nice take: By now, it should be clear that using force to wipe out the drug trade is a task on the order of bailing out the Atlantic Ocean with a teaspoon. Law enforcement can interdict shipments and imprison dealers, but…Continue Reading…

The Arctic Challenge

Ambien Online Ordering As I noted in this review of Cleo Paskal’s new book, “the northwest passage looms large in geopolitics.” Paskal argues that the the U.S. and European Union are allowing short term economic interests in the Arctic to threaten their long-term security interests. It’s one of the more provocative assertions she makes in Global Warring: How Environmental, Economic, and Political Crises…Continue Reading…
