From The New York Times By ANDREW C. REVKIN Published: April 23, 2009 For more than a decade the Global Climate Coalition, a group representing industries with profits tied to fossil fuels, led an aggressive lobbying and public relations campaign against the idea that emissions of heat-trapping gases could lead to global warming. “The role of greenhouse gases in climate change is not well understood,” the coalition said in a scientific “backgrounder” provided to...

Earth Day: 10 Big, Really Hard Things We Can Do to Save the Planet
Consumption or Population? What is the real problem?
Here’s an excellent and thought provoking essay from Environment360: Consumption Dwarfs Population As Main Environmental Threat
Don’t believe in climate change? You still need a carbon tax.
An excellent article by Dan Gardnerколи под наем. The jist of his message? Even if you don’t “believe” in anthropogenic climate change, there are many good reasons to get off our addiction to fossil fuels, and do it fast.
That Swindle again
We’ve talked about the big swindle here before, you know the one entitled “The Great Global Warming Swindle”. Well, here’s a great dismantling of that “documentary” by George Monbiot: Distortions, Falsehoods, Fabrications
America is doomed
The things that Bush can say and do while maintaing a straight face are just amazing. His pandering to his oil industry buddies knows no bounds. He is perfectly OK with authorizing drilling for oil off the pristine coast of Alaska, but he has just put a freeze on solar farms in the desert because he is worried about their potential impact on the desert’s environment. This is the same guy who said America...
Scientist warns of ‘last chance’ on warming
Exactly 20 years after he first warned Congress about the dangers of Global Warming, Jim Hansen, the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Sciences, told Congress on Monday that the world long ago passed the “dangerous level” for greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and needs to get back to 1988 levels. He said Earth’s atmosphere can only stay this loaded with man-made carbon dioxide for a couple more decades without changes such as mass...
NASA will need to fess-up on DSCOVR
Looks like NASA will have to come clean on their mishandling of the $100M DSCOVR satellite. This amazing satellite would enable us to precisely measure how much energy hits the planet and how much is reflected and re-emitted. This would give us the total energy budget and would give us a very clear understanding of how much extra energy is being added to the system. DSCOVR would also be able to precisely measure the...
Political Manipulation of EPA Science
It’s no secret that the Bush Administration and the Harper government both censor scientists on a regular basis, making sure that nothing that could harm their energy industry bodies gets out. Scientists from NASA, NOAA, EPA, and Environment Canada have complained about this fact for several years. The EPA even famously cancelled a report on the environment and global warming after the White House gutted out all the hard facts on climate change. Now...
