The following article is a guest post by H. E. Taylor, who you might recognize as the one who graciously provides us with the weekly GW news roundups. Enjoy!
Prospects for Change in Canadian Climate Policy
In short, the prospects are bleak and are likely to be driven from the United States. Let me…

We have discussed that persistent question here before: what word to use when talking about people who simply refuse to acknowledge in the slightest the rather solid case for the theory of anthropogenic global warming.
I was thinking it would be worth a very in depth and lengthy post. But I…

A growing number of think tanks sound good for the environment but advocate for industries that could cause environmental headaches. (You think Americans for Balanced Energy Choices touts solar power? Nope.)
Try to match the groups with their mission.

I know blogs are supposed to be all about up to the second news and gossip. but sometimes I just don't get through my reading list in a very timely manner, what can I say?
So I thought I would just quickly share a small pile of good postings from around the local climate blogosphere, along with a…

"While we have been working on the economy, the Opposition has been working on a backroom deal to overturn the results of the last election without seeking the consent of voters," Harper said. "They want to take power, not earn it.
"
So says Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada
Of course, if…

...on whether or not the EPA should regulate CO2, the primary cause of climate disruption today.
I received this via unsolicited email:
Friday is the last day to voice your opinion on whether the EPA -- the Environmental Protection Agency -- should regulate carbon dioxide pollution, the primary…

Okay, so this clip is a bit long (~10 minutes) and it is mostly Fox Noise, but it is really fascinating to watch this one guy, Peter Schiff, being dead on in his economic predictions and advice over and over and over again, and even more interesting to watch the the boobleheads laugh at him and…

So it took me a long time to finally watch the last segment, but I did find this documentary from PBS to be very engaging and very informative.
Maybe not so encouraging though...
FWIW, In It for the Gold agrees you should go watch it.
The synopsis is here:
Melting glaciers, rising sea levels, fires…

You all should check out some beautiful photographs of bacterial cultures Seed Magazine has in one of its "portfolios".
There are many other great sets there too, of all kinds of things.

I received this via unsolicited email and thought it important analysis to share:
Stunning Break with Last Eight Years
In the first two weeks since the election, President-elect Barack Obama has broken with a tradition established over the past eight years through his controversial use of complete…

A Few Things Ill Considered is just as happy as the next vile, hate-spewing, far left smear machine that Barack Obama actually won the recent US Presidential election, but I have to say I am so ready to be really disappointed!
Call me a cynic, but we've had progress waved under our noses before,…

As the CO2 in the atmosphere continues to climb, already at a dangerous level, and the argument about doing something about it seems to have only just begun in the power circles, I fear that actively removing it is rapidly becoming an imperative.
But is this doable?
I don't know...I sure hope so.…

I received via unsolicited email a link to a website with an rather interesting video presentation about the recycling process.
So, if you've ever wondered just what happens to all that stuff you spend your time seperating out from the trach and depositing in the recycle bins, have a look at this…

How far do you have to lower your standards if you are the Heartland Institute and want four Texans for a list of "experts" on global warming?
Pretty low. Despite "dozens if not hundreds" of working climate scientists in Texas, to get four deniers for their list, the Heartland Institute had to…

Although there was not much buzz about hurricanes this season (which is not quite over yet), this year has in fact set a few records. I guess since New Orleans (narrowly) escaped Gustav there seems so much less to talk about!
Well, New Scientist has an article about some of the things that are…

From New Scientist, here is a short article discussing five cases of small populations forced to relocate or plan to relocate due to sea level rise, caused by climate change.
It is a little anti-intuative to think that the 15-25 cm or so rise we have observed on average over the last hundred years…

Michael Crichton has died of cancer. He was 66 years old.
Climate Progress has a lengthy obituary for those of you unfamiliar with his destructive role in the climate debate.
I enjoyed Jurassic Park.

Anthony Watts has a post up purporting to show a very large UHI effect in Reno, Nevada.
I will just take his numbers and methods at face value, even though many questions come to mind. After all, 10oF is a big jump from outskirts to downtown, but maybe that is correct and not contaminated from…

Over at DesmogBlog, I saw an interesting video that covers some of the history of climate change denialism, starting with its roots in tobacco-lung cancer denialism.
Interesting how some of the names are so familiar, such as Steve Milloy and Myron Ebel.
Is "sociopathic whore to industry" too…
