Al Gore Is, Like, 200 Times Smarter Than Sarah Palin
Posted in Global Warming Myths, Humor, Politics, USA on Dec 9th, 2009
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Gore brilliantly explains the stakes at Copenhagen. I’m not sure that Saran Palin understands. She had this to say about global warming in a Washington Post editorial. I know that Carbon Dioxide is a great gift from God, also a gift that brings [...]
South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is working to pass the Kerry-Boxer climate bill, understanding that America’s future depends upon it. I’ve sent him the following letter. I urge all people who care about future generations to write a letter of thanks. Senator Graham: Your bipartisan work on the climate bill will be remembered by historians [...]
It sounds like it may have been inspired by Oxfam’s Hunger Banquet, and it will be interesting to see how it works. Mandarins at the United Nations will be subjecting world leaders to a little diplomatic shock therapy at today’s UN climate negotiations in an effort to inject a greater sense of urgency into the [...]

Posted in Ain't Easy Being Green, Climate Change Solutions, Politics, USA on Sep 19th, 2009
It’s hard to know what to think. Is the Obama administration really looking for a Do-Over, and would it really be preferable to wipe the slate clean, and begin again? Recent comments from Obama officials suggest that we won’t have an agreement in Copenhagen. Certainly, three years of intense negotiations seem to have gotten us [...]

Posted in Alberta Tar Sands, Canada, Politics, USA on Sep 16th, 2009
From an editorial published in The Toronto Star. When Prime Minister Stephen Harper meets with President Barack Obama in Washington this week to discuss clean energy and climate, I hope the Canadian public and media keep him honest. Close attention should be paid to any special treatment Harper attempts to gain for Canada’s tar sands, [...]
Harper and Tar Sands Emissions Make Canada A Carbon Bully
Posted in Alberta Tar Sands, Canada, Politics, USA on Sep 16th, 2009
Author John Updike once described Canada as a cool, chaste country, but that’s not how Greenpeace sees it. Earlier this week, the environmental warriors issued a harsh report that described Canada an international carbon bully. Sooner or later, that description is going to stick. Over the last two and a half years, several different environmental [...]
Conservative Fundamentalism is Destroying Canada*
Posted in Canada, Climate Change Solutions, Politics, Social Justice, USA on Aug 26th, 2009
Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper claims that he’s all for saving the environment, but his government has been actively working against a comprehensive international climate change agreement since he’s been in office (see stories here, here, here, and here). Harper and his environment ministers, this time in the guise of Jim Prentice, have consistently argued [...]
Bonner & Associates + ACCCE: More Forgeries Found
Posted in Astroturfing, Media, Old King Coal, Politics, USA on Aug 18th, 2009
All I can think of is that old line from Get Smart, the classic television series. If only he had used his powers for niceness instead of evil. This story is about the hardest working man (or woman) in DC. It’s none other than that single employee at Bonner & Associates who was deemed too [...]
