Well, here’s a shot across the bow. Time for a flashback, to put things in context. A few years ago, Joe Romm got quite perturbed at former Real Climate contributor William Connolley over this post at Stoat and the comments William made in the thread. At one point, Romm couldn’t take it anymore and came…Continue Reading…
There are big rumblings in the climate wing of the environmental movement. I felt them several weeks ago while reading this post (“Why are Obama and Salazar pushing a massive expansion of coal production”) and thread. Much of the anger from CP readers was directed at President Obama. Comments ranged from looney (Obama is a…Continue Reading…

You also know about all the book tour stops and speaking…Continue Reading…
Over at Frontier Earth, some musing about beaches, climate change, and homeowners beating back an advancing sea.

Via Desmogblog, I see there is an emerging anthropological investigation of a curious (some say hydra-headed) creature that is mostly haunting the American political landscape and the dreams of many in the climate concerned community. Mooney has broken out the main findings over there, so no reason for me to duplicate. But if you skeptic…Continue Reading…
H/T: This meandering thread at Lucia’s, where the faucet scene in My Cousin Vinny was fondly recalled. Vinny Gambini: [Vinny hears a drip in the motel bathroom] Weren’t you the last one to use the bathroom? Lisa: So? Vinny Gambini: Well, did you use the faucet? Lisa: Yeah. Vinny Gambini: Then why didn’tcha turn it…Continue Reading…
At Climate Central, I take stock of Monbiot’s recent onslaught against the anti-nuclear movement. Check it out and chime in over there. **** P.S.- The RSS feed for Frontier Earth is now fixed. Also, comments will be approved promptly (except when I’m asleep!).
