[Climate Progress] What's the difference between climate science and climate ...: Revkin kicks off by citing a Harvard cognitive scientist found guilty of academic misconduct, and connecting it with “assertions that climate research suffered far too much from group think, protective tribalism and willingness to spin findings to suit an environmental agenda”. Note the juxtaposition.

[Climate World Wide After 2009] Joe Romm on Andy Revkin's worst Dot Earth post ever: What's the ...: Uh, not if we take no action ”” a point I have made to Revkin time and time again. I’ll agree that if we ignore Revkin and the people he likes to quote in his pieces and take very aggressive action to mitigate emissions and stabilize around 450 ppm, it is not clear exactly whether we have avoided multiple catastrophes.

[Merry Python] What's the difference between climate science and climate ...: The difference between modern science and almost any other human enterprise is that science is self-correcting through the most rigorous process ever invented.  That’s how we put 12 men on the moon and got them back.  That’s how we beat scourges of humanity like smallpox.  That’s how it even become possible your cell phone has vastly more computing power than the entire Apollo missions and I can communicate with hundreds of thousands of people by talking into a microphone, having my voice dictation software transcribe it into a blog post, which then gets sent across the web.

[The Survivalist Forum] The Survivalist Forum » Blog Archive » The Great Collapse of the ...: Europe’s socialized historical habit of subsidizing anything and everything means that it has been a better safe haven for something as radical as a carbon market. Many financial analysts would say that carbon requires a relatively steady price of around €40 a tonne in order to spur industrial investment in cleaner technologies, but unfortunately, Copenhagen failed and the announcements of emissions cuts are not coming as expected.

[Yale Environment 360] NOAA's New Chief on Restoring Science to U.S. Climate Policy by ...: Lubchenco: I think that oceans in general for many people are still out of sight, out of mind, and there is a lack of appreciation for how important the ocean is in the whole climate system, how important it is to people’s everyday lives, and what the real risk is. The oceans are indeed becoming more acidic, as a result of absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and that acidity represents a very real threat to much of the life in oceans, ranging from the smallest microscopic plants, to coral reefs, to things that form shells ”” mussels, oysters, clams ”” but even things like lobsters and crabs.

[Follow The Money] Director James Cameron calls climate change skeptics “swine” as he ...: Within the past 36 hours, event organizers have absurdly claimed that since Cameron wanted to match wits with either Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, or Inhofe, he decided to pull out of the debate when this didn’t happen.

[Climate Progress] Real adaptation is as politically tough as real mitigation, but ...: Real adaptation requires much bigger and far more intrusive government than mitigation.  Indeed, if the anti-science ideologues get their way and stop serious mitigation, then the government will inevitably get into the business of telling people where they can and can’t live (can’t let people keep rebuilding in the ever-spreading flood plains or the ever-enlarging areas threatened by sea level rise and DustBowlification) and how they can live (sharp water curtailment in the SW DustBowl, for instance) and possibly what they can eat.  Conservative action against climate action now will force big government in coming decades to triage our major coastal cities — Key West and Galveston and probably New Orleans would be unsavable, but what about Miami and Houston?  I’ll do a separate post on this and would love suggestions for what kinds of things government would have to decide and spend money on if we listen to the maladapters and stay anywhere near our current emissions path.

[THE BUSTED NUT] Russian scholar warns of US climate-change weapon...nothing to do ...: Really people, Russian scholars included, conspiracy theories are more fun than anything.  They can never be solved, so the riddle will never have an answer.  They will always be veiled in mystery.  However, I’m of the mind that if there’s a conspiracy theory on the subject, then it is likely not going on.  Its the shit you have no idea about that are the real secrets.  Thats why they call them secrets.  But if you still believe HAARP is a secret US government weapon used to change the weather across the globe using the advice of college students, maybe you should attempt a covert operation to infiltrate the facility 007?  Or you could just visit the facility when they have an open house.

[Climate Progress] Climate Progress at four years: Why I blog « Climate Progress: And he confronts the toughest of truths, which I think is perhaps the primary quality I aspire to at ClimateProgress.org, a quality captured in the label that Rolling Stone gave me, “America’s fiercest climate-change activist-blogger.”  Orwell asserts, “Putting aside the need to earn a living, I think there are four great motives for writing, at any rate for writing prose.”

When questioned about her actions, Browner claimed that her computer had contained no work-related material, and that she had merely purged the hard drive of such innocuous items as computer games —

[GCC News Brief] It's a Communication Challenge, Not a Scientific Challenge | Josh ...: We take at face value the assertion that tackling climate change will sabotage our quality of life and jeopardize our financial future. Therefore, denying the reality of climate change allows us to shirk our collective financial responsibility for dealing with this mounting threat to our nation and civilization without having to feel guilty.

[Climate Progress] Energy and Global Warming News for August 25th: Geoengineering ...: A few years ago, the dire warnings coming from Al Gore and others all spoke of “Global Warming.” The term “Greenhouse Gas” itself conjures up images of the unnatural heat found in a manmade environment. However, since the trend in more recent years has been towards cooler temperatures, those (like Senator Murkowski and others) pushing for cap and trade and other carbon emission reducing legislation have had to change their terminology to “Climate Change.” Should we take drastic measures to combat something that may not even exist, burdening our already struggling economy with billions in new taxes and regulations?”
