[Political Animal] The Washington Monthly: There are in fact no technical or economic obstacles to reducing CO2 emissions as quickly as science tells us we must in order to prevent catastrophic climate change, and there are no technical or economic obstacles to achieving a complete phaseout of both fossil fuels and nuclear power by the middle of the 21st century, through a transition to optimally efficient use of clean, renewable energy sources.

[protein wisdom] Wellness programs - who is in charge? [Darleen Click]: So far, Chuckles has gone after Squid and sdferr, two of the more thoughtful and reasonable commenters one could encounter. Chuckles, lashing out at people who are more than willing to give you a full hearing is not a recipe for any type of discussion.

[Pharyngula] Solution: blame scientists, add fluff : Pharyngula: A common issue I have with Mooney's line of thought, though seldom brought up, is the assumption that it is the traditional responsibility of the scientist to communicate their findings to the public at large. It is my understanding that typically it was and is journalists (which today have become specialized science journalists) who take such information and pass it along to the general public.

[Climate Progress] EIA bombshell: Offshore drilling “would not have a significant ...: Every time a self-proclaimed expert posits a falsehood, they negate Ninety-nine of their honest remarks, with more rigorous honesty you’d come closer to your misguided goal faster.

[Publishers Weekly - Trends In Books News] PW's Best Books of the Year - 11/5/2007 - Publishers Weekly: Freelance writer (and adoptive mom) Raymond looks at the life and legacy of the little-remembered orphanage director Georgia Tann, a corrupt but nationally lauded figure whose whose adoption policies are still followed today; the book is a rigorous page-turner.

[Seed Magazine: Focus] Seed's Daily Zeitgeist § SEEDMAGAZINE.COM: Daily Kos' DarkSyde talks about how hurricanes form and how the media has convinced us they have nothing whatsoever to do with global warming. Reflecting on your flaws.

[Tiny Frog] Chi Master? « Tiny Frog: For example, I’ve heard that monks can (through meditation) achieve various feats, including resisting pain or slowing their breathing and heartrate to very low levels. We should not, however, make the mistake of concluding that this is some kind of supernatural phenomena or that it points us to some deeper supernatural reality.

[John Quiggin] John Quiggin » Whaling: I’ve seen claims of mourning behavior among elephants, such that culling of whole family groups rather than picking off a few is advocated by some. (Another issue is loss of the old matriarchs, who pass on the behavioral “culture”.) Whale PTSD certainly seems plausible to me, but I don’t know.

[Science: Science blog | guardian.co.uk] Are we witnessing the end of science? | Ehsan Masood | Science ...: This idea that scientists struggle to challenge the status quo is exactloy the kind of crap that creationist and global-warming deniers come up with, and its wrong. Every scientist would give their left arm to come up with a new theory that turned things on its head, and the funding and respect that would follow.

[ScienceBlogs Select] 2007 Weblog Awards? : Pharyngula: I'm not a statistician, so I can't gauge the work of any of this, but it seems, whatever McIntyre is (scientist, statistician, bottle washer, cannibal) he's qualified to look at what's been done and comment on its worthiness, statistically, much like somebody good in, say, geology or computer programming would be qualified to investigate that particualr aspect of climate change. This is a multi-disciplinary science, and there's tonnes of people in many career fields involved.

[The Blackboard] The Blackboard » IPCC Central Tendency of 2C/century: Still rejected.: Lucia, my simple point is that while the GCMs may have the “climate sensitivity” (average global warming per CO2e doubling) wrong, people shouldn't ignore the obvious signs of REAL sensitivity in the climate and of rapid ongoing ....

[Open Mind] Surface Stations « Open Mind: “Except the links in your chain appear to be broken because we DON’T see the correlation between increases in CO2 and warming. CO2 increases FOLLOW warming increases in the ice cores record (and no accelleration is seen when CO2 jumps in), mid century cooling occured at a time when CO2 concentrations increased (aerosol “explanations” fail for many reasons), there’s a flattening of temp trends recently, again while CO2 concentrations rise and rise, and the most accurate global temp measurements that we have (satellite) show warming only in the Northern Hemisphere, i.e.
