When Up is Down in Romm World
Huh? Is Joe Romm trying hard to convince himself that he’s not swimming against the current? If truth serum existed, and you gave it to Romm just before he sat down to write this post, you can be sure it would have turned out differently. Even one of Romm’s fiercest loyalists concedes the obvious (at…Continue Reading…
The Lines are Being Drawn
Joe Romm is highlighting this extraordinary assertion from Robert Brulle, a prominent academic who writes often about environmental affairs: By failing to even rhetorically address climate change, Obama is mortgaging our future and further delaying the necessary work to build a political consensus for real action. This broadside follows on the heels of the State…Continue Reading…
Blog Fungus
Is anyone linking to me besides roughneckworld, masonrytools.org and lasertoenail.org (including its essential toefungusremoval/video)? Don’t get me wrong. I’m all about expanding my audience…

The vast majority of scientists have concluded unequivocally that…Continue Reading…
When Free Media Labor Goes Bad
Oh, the irony. A labor journalist who prostituted himself for free to The Huffington Post is peeved they canned him.
The State of the Climate Address
Well, that’s not happening anytime soon. But the wonks at the Center for a New American Security who write about energy and climate change issues have devised their own drinking game for tonight’s State of the Union Address. And they surely wouldn’t mind getting wasted: Rule #6: If the President deploys the words “climate change,”…Continue Reading…
Buffoonery Masquerading as Journalism
So I’m curious to hear what climate skeptics think of James Delingpole’s shocking admission that he doesn’t have time to read peer reviewed climate science papers. (I think he said this with a straight face, too.) Delingpole said he relies instead on the “peer to peer” review that happens everyday on climate blogs. Well, no…Continue Reading…
