I've got a pin-up published at the Science Creative Quarterly today (you can download the pdf at the link).
At its heart, this flowchart is really a comparison of the carbon tax, cap and trade, and the Conservative's somewhat disappointing Clean Air Act (or now the equally weak "Turning the Corner" plan). You can get a clearer write up of this at the following great piece published at UBC reports.

For all you climate change deniers out there dismayed at John McSame's apparent embrace of global warming, you have nothing to fear:

This is a tell-all from one of the mice in the trenches. It in fact stands as a historical document, the first published piece co-written by Ng and Cohen (back in the Spring). And it's a pin-up, for your own home and office and car and garage and lab. And bunker.

Today at the SCQ, there's an awesome piece that imagines Charles Darwin being brought back to life for next year's bicentennial celebration. As well, the piece is written in the context of him checking out the proposed (and, hopefully by then, built) replica of the H.M.S. Beagle. Better still, it…
InsideClimateNews (who I've been unimpressed with before) via Brian at Eli's tell us that Exxon may claim to favour a carbon tax, but aren't exactly enthusiastic about it. Because someone else was saying it, my natural initial reaction was to disagree; but having poked their sources a bit, it looks…
Carbon taxes: not pretty - but I agree in that they are the crucial first step to widespread buy in from the population as a whole.
That's the main problem with cap and trade policies. It's not just big polluters who are part of the problem (and a good carbon tax penalizes them in accordance to the amount of pollution they put out). As well, cap and trade rules are just so damn complicated. This is an invitation to it falling down the way side.
Yeah, Harper is the new Bush - or rather the old Bush. Either way, he's terrible on the environmental side of things.
CTV, CBC and Globe And Mail will make sure there is no serious public discussion on Climate Change until after the election.
You will not win. Why do you try?
Yep, voting Green because of the science.
During our debate, I thought May was the only one at the table with facts and references, but of course the media outlets just kept re-playing Layton's zingers. It actually lowered the level of discourse.
I don't mind a good zinger, but Layton criticizing Harper over a sweater in an ad is lame. May saying "where is it?" about Harper's platform in final remarks was gold.
