Team B

http://www.amandasatoz.com/?page_id=1479 Since Last November, Georgia Tech climate researcher Judith Curry has criticized the groupthink tendencies of a subset of the climate science community. So I’m not surprised to see her echo this sentiment by William Happer, a professor of physics at Princeton University, in his recent congressional testimony: We need to establish a Team B of…Continue Reading…

The Low Hanging Climate Pollutant

In the zero-sum climate change debate, there’s not much political space to discuss stopgap measures that would go a long way towards addressing climate change now. Take the issue of black carbon (also known as black soot), a noxious pollutant in developing countries that emanates from inefficient cooking stoves. Here’s a revelatory passage from a…Continue Reading…

A Wicked Problem

Several weeks ago, a varied group of distinguished scholars released a provocative treatise, called The Hartwell Paper: A new direction for climate policy after the crash of 2009.

Why Climate Journalism is a Rotting Carcass

No "Tidy" End in Sight

Buy Tramadol 100 Mg Online UPDATE: Skeptics are still grousing about RPJR, but he’s still taking it all in stride.

His logic is often unassailable but it can leave people…Continue Reading…

Eco-Inventor Angst

There’s an intriguing, somewhat dispiriting profile by David Owen in the current New Yorker ($ubscription) of an idealistic,  enviro-minded inventor who wants to do good in the world, but is having a hard time overcoming the “limits of innovation.” The subject of the piece is Saul Griffith, who as recently as 2004 was a Ph.D….Continue Reading…

Chu on Coal & China & Green Peas

Klonopin For Sale Online I’m a little late to this Wired profile on Energy Secretary Steven Chu, since I just started reading the May issue last night.  For hardcore Chu watchers, probably not much is new, but the piece by Daniel Roth is still worth a read, if only to be reminded that the battle against global warming is…Continue Reading…

Climate Journalism Q & A

In the super-charged, heavily politicized climate change debate, we journalists often find ourselves getting scorched from all sides: We suck, we’re biased, we’re stupid, we’re clueless, we’re a pack of conflict junkies, a blob of false-balance jello. Yeah, we’ve heard it all. So what about it? It’s all true. But not all the time. Which…Continue Reading…

Climate Wars

Buy Soma 350 Mg Online UPDATE: Be sure to check out the comment thread, where a number of top environmental security experts weigh in.

This week, I’ll be talking to scholars and experts who study the linkages between climate change, energy, and security….Continue Reading…

Some Spicy Curry

https://dinoeliadis.com/about-us/ **UPDATE: In the comment thread, Judith Curry elaborates that the “main point of my post was to provoke a switch in the dialogue (away from the witch hunt) to the problems with IPCC process and how this might be improved…” **UPDATE: In numerous comments below, Judith Curry expounds on many of the controversial issues that…Continue Reading…
