January 27, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in California, drought, environment, select | 22 comments

https://homeupgradespecialist.com/ac6dhgf9yn In recent days and weeks, we’ve been seeing similar-sounding headlines out of California, such as this: Sacramento breaks 130-year old for low rainfall And this: LA is on track to set dry-weather record Indeed, as my fellow Discover blogger Tom Yulsman noted last month: We’ll have to wait a couple of weeks for the official year-end precipitation… Continue Reading…

When Bigotry is Cloaked

October 7, 2010 by Keith Kloor | Filed in anti-immigrant, California, water | 9 comments

https://eloquentgushing.com/vf2r4wz I’ve previously discussed how some anti-immigrant factions use green rhetoric as a proxy in their endless quest to “stabilize” population growth in the U.S. Longtime environmental activists tend to wave off this unsavory element within their ranks, as if it was just a few cranks crashing their party. History suggests otherwise. Now, via John Fleck,… https://merangue.com/5rjj9uk1 Continue Reading…

Romm's Sleight of Hand

September 1, 2009 by Keith Kloor | Filed in California, climate change, Joe Romm, wildfire | 9 comments

Cheapest Xanax Joe Romm never misses a disaster to beat the global warming drum. You name it– floods, fires, hurricanes–if they’re in the headlines, then he finds a way to connect them to climate change. It’s tricky stuff because he’s smart enough to know that no single climatic event or catastrophe can be pinned exclusively on greenhouse… https://oevenezolano.org/2024/08/bsl28xh Continue Reading…

Media Malpractice or Enviro Tantrum?

February 25, 2009 by Keith Kloor | Filed in California, climate change, drought, global warming, Journalism, southwest | No comments

https://udaan.org/e3m7co4.php This absurd post by Joseph Romm, in which he accuses The New York Times of “media malpractice” due to supposed errant climate change coverage in several recent stories, reveals a doctrinaire mindset on the relationship between global warming and natural disasters that is becoming all too common in environmentalists. Romm is ticked off because, among… https://transculturalexchange.org/1bh8lth Continue Reading…

Climate Multiplier

February 5, 2009 by Keith Kloor | Filed in California, drought, global warming | No comments

This story in the L.A. Times really bugs me. In an interview, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu predicts, or at least was paraphrased as predicting, that California’s farms and vineyards could vanish by the end of the century, and its major cities could be in jeopardy, if Americans do not act to slow the advance… https://eloquentgushing.com/ld5b1utcf69 Continue Reading…

Welcome to the Hothouse

February 2, 2009 by Keith Kloor | Filed in California, drought | No comments

https://www.completerehabsolutions.com/blog/br3eyb56y3s Last Friday, Californians woke up to this cheery news on their climate front: “State officials reported a Sierra Nevada snowpack smaller than normal on Thursday and said California may be at the beginning of its worst drought in modern history. Residents were immediately urged to conserve water.” Okay, I realize this sounds bad enough, but… Continue Reading…
