The Curry Agonistes

UPDATE: As with many of her previous appearances at this site, Judith Curry is an active participant in the comment thread below. Judith Curry, a climate scientist at Georgia Tech, has a knack for setting off tremors in the climate blogosphere. There was a lot of rumbling last week after Curry got into a rather…Continue Reading…

A Crossroads for Climate Advocates

https://ramedicare.com/wholesale/ One of the most civil and smartest voices in the climate blogosphere belongs to a blog commenter named Paul Kelly. I don’t know who he is. But I’ve always enjoyed reading his contributions to threads, which I’ve mostly seen at Stoat’s or Bart Verheggen’s place. And it is at one of Bart’s recent threads that…Continue Reading…

The Geopolitics of Climate Change

Klonopin For Sale Online The New Security Beat continues to distinguish itself as a forum for razor sharp ideas and perspectives on the environment/security nexus. Last week, I meant to flag this perceptive analysis on the crosscurrents roiling Yemen, by Schuyler Null. (If you’ve been following the international news on Yemen and neighboring Somalia this past year, you’ll know…Continue Reading…

Suffer the Grandchildren?

http://masterfacilitator.com/compactcoaching/ After Congress shelved the climate bill late last week, the conventional wisdom of green-minded opinionators was that future generations were doomed. A glum, dejected note sounded everywhere from Grist to the New York Times.

Pack Journalism

https://disneycruisinggroup.com/openingdaypricing/ I’m always amazed at how climate bloggers blame the media every time the narrative isn’t to their liking. Joe Romm and Michael Tobis, on one side of the spectrum, are famous for this. They often complain of a press that gives too much credence to climate skeptics. Additionally, both have asserted that “climategate” was a…Continue Reading…

The Banality of Slow Drips

Over the years, Andrew Revkin has perceptively identified “slow drip” environmental stories as a category unto itself. These range from the tragic to the banal. It’s bad enough that these “slow drip” stories receive little sustained coverage; it’s worse when you write about them and nobody seems to notice. John Fleck, the superb science writer…Continue Reading…

Climate Catnip

Let’s see, there’s the latest Monckton buffoonery, which everybody is rolling around in at Lucia’s. There’s all the “rubbish” piling up in the blogyard of my favorite climate curmudgeon. RPJ is calling out Lomborg–again. Planet Gore, delightfully linking (yet again) to a picture of that famous Google Earth shot of Thomas Friedman’s house, wonders And…Continue Reading…

The (Unclear) Case for Climate Impacts

https://dentalprovidence.com/endodontic-surgery/ An extraordinary op-ed by four climate scientists, headlined “The Science Behind Climate Science,” asserts: The urgent need to act cannot be overstated. Climate change caused by humans is already affecting our lives and livelihoods “” with extreme storms, unusual floods and droughts, intense heat waves, rising seas and many changes in biological systems “” as climate scientists…Continue Reading…
