https://www.mattiapacorizzi.com/about-2/ In the never-ending quest for climate change analogies that might strike a chord with a disinterested public, smoking and slavery have been repeatedly invoked in recent years. I don’t buy the slavery/fossil fuels parallel. I find the comparison with smoking equally problematic, but I also get the argument. In 2010, Andrew Hoffman published a relevant study that…Continue Reading…

The Doomsday Contagion

https://flamengi.cat/entrades/ If you’re not preparing for the end of the world, don’t worry, some of your neighbors are. And teenagers today, well, they’re all over it. So are millions of  Christians, who don’t want to be Left Behind, when armageddon comes. Those who see eco-decay and social mayhem resulting from unchecked capitalism are similarly fatalistic: The race…Continue Reading…

The Defining Challenge of Our Time

https://progressiveptgreenvalley.com/contact/ It’s a shame that our public discussions of energy and environmental issues are so narrowly (and ideologically) framed by politicians, industry, and interest groups. For example, to listen to Republicans, you wouldn’t know there’s an energy drilling boom underway in the U.S.  This ambitious NYT piece unwinds how that boom happened, and where it is…Continue Reading…

The Winter that Never Was

That’s the title of my latest post at the Yale Forum on Climate Change & the Media. It’s about the pendulum swings of public opinion (in recent years), their connection to weather, and why this is problematic for journalists and climate communicators.

Is there a Green Scare?

Before I get to that question, ask yourself this: What does the climate debate have to do with WMD’s (weapons of mass destruction) and the Iraq war? Tom Fuller offers an answer on this recent thread: One of the saddest consequences of 9/11 was the wholesale manipulation of both the media and public opinion to generate…Continue Reading…

He’s a fierce proponent of evolution (he’s been given an award named after Richard Dawkins) but he’s also a serial spouter of…Continue Reading…

Climate Outsourcing

Buy Soma 350 Mg Online A couple of weeks ago, Megan McArdle managed to hit the climate blogogphere jackpot with a post entitled, “Why We Should Act to Stop Global Warming–and Why We Won’t.”  Her post triggered simultaneous eruptions at the polar ends of the climate landscape.  I was rather jealous. It’s quite a feat when you get the Morano/Romm…Continue Reading…

A Bridge to Somewhere?

One of the biggest climate killers is coal, a 19th century fuel that may bake the planet well into the 21st century.

Why the Climate Debate is on a Road to Nowhere

Last summer, when Rick Perry mania was cresting and he was spouting nonsense about climate science and evolution, I said this: Serious, science-based climate skeptics have a chance to separate themselves from the foaming-at-the-mouth lunacy that defines their public image. Of course, in that same post, I also that the Texas Governor will likely saddle up the congealed…Continue Reading…
