[Untitled] TED2008: How dare we be optimistic?: Sometimes I hear people respond to the disturbing facts of the climate crisis by saying "this is so terrible, what a burden". Let's reframe that: how many generations in all of human history have had the opportunity to rise to a challenge that is worthy of our best efforts, a challenge that can pull from us more that we knew we could to.

 [Rashid's Blog] Global Warming:Chilling Perspective: Since the climate has always been changing and will likely continue of its own accord to change in the future, instead of crippling the U.S. economy in order to achieve small reductions in global warming effects due to manmade additions to atmospheric carbon dioxide, our resources may be better spent making preparations to adapt to global cooling and global warming, and the inevitable consequences of fluctuating ocean levels, temperatures, and precipitation that accompany climatic change.

 [ourkingdom] Taking democracy to the rooftops is our only choice: Bear in mind that this is a corporation that upholds 1992 figures - that aviation contributes to only 2% of UK carbon emissions - to combat challenges from Climate Change lobbyists, when even the Government now concedes that aviation contributes to 13% of our emissions. How can an independent, democratic consultation be conducted when vested interests dominate the landscape?

 [Newsprism] Faith and Skepticism in Environmental Politics: They regularly report on climate change in a decidedly unskeptical way, but at the same time, they don’t portray the issue as being any more consequential than Anna Nicole’s overdose or the endless speculation on the fate of Natalee Holloway (not to mention Britney, Paris, the bleached Lindsay, and Jon Benet…if it’s blonde, it’s news.) If they truly believe what Al Gore peddles, then global climate change should lead the news most every day. Then again, if Al Gore truly believes what Al Gore peddles, he shouldn’t be consuming energy every year worth more than what the average family earns in a year.

 [Libtech in librarianland] The Times [UK] : How climate change sparked a Canadian gold rush: The question is, how do we win by it?” That’s the silk-purse philosophy of Mike Spence, the 51-year-old mayor of Churchill, in Canada’s Manitoba province. Of the handful of countries that stand to gain by climate change, his tops the list: the Canadian Arctic comprises 40% of the second-largest nation on Earth, and, conceivably, a giant thaw could one day turn all that white waste into the new Illinois.

 [Shirauiz's Weblog] Is John Bull Waking Up? ”” Part Two: This Queen’s Speech thus presents us with a choice–we can either take an approach that tends to lurch from pacification in the wake of future highly charged public rows, such as the veils controversy, to panic in the wake of future terrorist attacks, which we are, alas, told are only too likely to happen, or we can rise to the challenge in an informed, decent and consistent way. In facing the challenge, Opposition Members must acknowledge and be mindful of the fact that Ministers have a responsibility that none of the rest of us at present has to bear.

 [Beastrabban's Weblog] Sam Harris on Atheism’s Tolerance and Lack of Dogma: Most of the atheists in Western society are probably so because of these generalities, having neither the time nor inclination to worry about particular points of contact and difference between Humanism, Existentialism, Anti-Humanism or Nietzschean Nihilism. Nevertheless, this does not mean that atheism cannot be dogmatic, and that violence cannot proceed from atheist dogma, if it considers that it has found the single, overriding metaphysical truth that has to be defended from an insidious, monstrous threat, like theism.
