From Turkey: A social ecology challenge to environmentalism ...
[Institute for Social Ecology] Only the critique of liberal environmentalism and the radical proposals of Libertarian Municipalism (LM) can uncover dominant urban environmentalism and analyze the significance of the rising environmental grassroots in Turkey. Beyond the scope of social movement literature, social ecological analysis provides insights for the environmental grassroots in terms of ideology, economics, politics, activities, and forms of organization that challenge domination.

IBD: Medieval Warming Period Cools Climate Change Alarmism ...
[JunkScience.com] If an era as warm or warmer than today did indeed exist 500 to 1,000 years ago, before man had invented the CO2-emitting internal combustion engine, then it weakens their claim that any warming occurring now is due to human activity. The reality of such a period is a strong sign that climate change is both natural and cyclical, not moved by man’s modern habits.

Southern California's Exquisite Coastal Ecosystems « DrReese's Blog
[DrReese's Blog] Although the last spotted California grizzly was seen in 1908 this species frequented these coastal ecosystems and I’ve found a couple old grizzly trails next to big-cone Douglas-firs. This beauty of beasts used the same trails for generations, placing their paws in the same depressions repeatedly until the trails became a series of potholes.

Global warming's last breath. Literally « Don Surber
[Don Surber] Politico has a story today about the global cooling/climate change/global warming believers trying to re-brand themselves. Politico was too polite to point out that the problem is lefties lost their credibility because none of their predictions of fire and brimstone are true. Instead, the fault is we are too stupid to realize what geniuses they are.

Why We Can't Delay on Global Warming « The Dirt
[The Dirt] Nordhaus writes that the arguments of warming skeptics can be summed up by a January 2012 editorial in The Wall Street Journal written by a group of scientists called “No Need to Panic About Global Warming.” The article says “the globe is not warming, that dissident voices are being suppressed, and that delaying policies to slow climate change for fifty years will have no serious economic or environment consequences.” To counter this, Nordhaus argues that these scientists, some of which are at top universities, offer “incorrect or misleading answers.”
