Damn, Skippy. This post was a double surprise.
First, I hadn’t seen the news about the BBC game about global warming yet. It’s better than I thought it would be at first glance, but it’s also kind of predictable, and I found the gameplay to be fairly stilted. Although it seemed like they had the elements […]
The IPCC report on climate change has been released, and it’s absolutely clear. Even the professional scientists who typically couch their words in lots of conditionals were as blunt as they ever get:
“The public should not sit back and say ‘There’s nothing we can do’,” said Achim Steiner, the executive director of the U.N. […]
According to their website:
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) is moving the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock on January 17, 2007, from 7 to 5 minutes to midnight.
BAS announced the Clock change at an unprecedented joint news conference at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, DC, and the Royal […]

Contrast this with our current “policy” in America:
Department of Energy (DOE) assistant secretary for energy efficiency and renewable energy […]
Well, this is depressing news.
2006 was the hottest year on record. Or maybe the second hottest, depending on how you massage the data.
The last 9 years were all in the top 25.
When viewed by state, New Jersey had its hottest year ever. Another six states had their second hottest year ever. No state ranked below […]
That title is an anagram of the phrase “ExxonMobil Corporation”. Today, the Union of Concerned Scientists released a remarkably detailed document that says:
In an effort to deceive the public about the reality of global warming, ExxonMobil has underwritten the most sophisticated and most successful disinformation campaign since the tobacco industry misled the public about the […]
I took this in Vermont over the holidays. Obviously, those aren’t real flowers. There was even a dusting of snow on the ground. But this is a place where I’m used to inches of snow at this time of year, if not feet of it, or at least enough ice to skate on. This year, […]
It’s been bouncing around news and the net this weekthat the Supreme Court will be hearing arguments in Massachusetts v. EPA today. This is an important case, but I’m not at all sure it’ll be resolved in any way that will actually prove useful in the fight against human-caused climate change.
The history of the case […]
He won pulitzer prize, wrote a book called The Heat is On, then another called Boiling Point. One of the top science books of 2004.
He runs theheatisonline.org.
Years ago this conf could have been held in a phone booth.
I’m renaming the talk: “Straddling between solutions and survivalism”
I’m not going to talk about disasters. But […]
