I'm not really a big fan of digging way into the past for embarassing or otherwise damning quotes to bring up in a present day campaign. With John McCain there really is not much need for it anyway, he is a hypocritical emarrassment (IMHO). But this really repulsive bit of history (h/t to…

Here is a nice Q&A session wth Dr James Hansen, of NASA'as GISS institute covering things from weater vs climate to politics and policy. It's about 11 minutes

Save the planet! Ditch your flatscreen TV!

This is a little stale, but a new joint statement came out last month from the National Science Academies of all G8 countries and then some, calling for urgent action to address climate change by reducing cabon emissions.
You can read the statement here.
Also included is Canada, a smaller economy…

Roger Pielke Jr is back at his own teapot, blogging up a tempest or two again. Whether you agree with his points or not, he usually makes for provocative reading and comment threads can be very entertaining and informing. I have not hung around there for quite a while but will pay more attention…

The good news: George W Bush actually does know what a disgrace US economic policy has been for the environmental health of the world.
The bad news?
He thinks it is funny.
The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private…

Below is a listing of all the articles to be found in the "How to Talk to a Climate Sceptic" guide, presented as a handy one-stop shop for all the material you should need to rebut the more common anti-global warming science arguments constantly echoed across the internet.

Poor me, I sat down to a relaxing Sunday morning breakfast last weekend here in Tasmania where I am on business and instead I was assaulted by an atrocious piece of crap "reporting" on the global warming "debate" that framed the whole thing as thoughtful concerned skeptics against True Believers.…

I have not done any checking on this (hey, what are blogs for?) but it is definately plausible and if true very important. It is also potentially avoidable.
What they are saying, if you don't want to watch, is that they have some inside information on major ISP's plans to radically alter the way…

I haven't heard it from anyone else yet so let me go on the record as predicting McCain will choose Joe Lieberman as his vice-presidential running mate. Bipartisanship and all that blah blah balh (not that Joe is a Democrate in any non-technical sense)
Not something I would ever consider voting…

Michael Tobis is always worth reading, but he has a particularily well done essay up on Gristmill about some of the deeper implications and causes of the current global food crisis.

From DemocracyNow!, specifcally this story, we get the charmingly humble statement from Justice Antonin Scalia I used as this post's title.
What is his view? Torture is not punishment so it is not actually prohibited by the US constitution's eigth ammendment, forbidding the infliction of "cruel…

So most of us have probably seen them before, animations of flight patterns spreading across North America and the globe, but I thought this one was particularily satisfying in its production:
Try not to think of all the carbon emissions associated with all that flying!

So, why do we want genetically modified crops? I thought it was supposed to be part of a new Green Revolution.
Apparently not...
Via CommonDreams, it seems that another major study has found that GM crops are actually worse in terms of total production than conventional crops.
So, besides ensuring…
