Australia Is Really, Really Hot
Take it away, Mr. Pierce: Australia is simultaneously burning down and melting, which is a considerable climatic feat when you think about it. There are gas stations that can’t pump fuel because it vaporizes too quickly. It’s gotten so bad that they have had to change the weather maps. “The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has […]
“It’s Global Warming, Stupid”
“Our cover story this week may generate controversy,” wrote editor Josh Tyrangiel on Twitter. “But only among the stupid.” I agree.
A Little Hot in Here
Thank goodness for August. If the dog days didn’t cool down, we probably would have had the hottest summer on record. As it was, Delaware experienced our third warmest summer on record since 1895. I’m glad that the Democrats are finally beginning to campaign on effects of climate change on our world. Summer 2012 officially […]
Poll: Americans Believe That Global Warming Is Linked to Extreme Weather
Yesterday, everyone was a buzz about the poll that showed Romney and Obama visually neck and neck. But this wasn’t the poll we should have been focused on, this is: Americans believe that global warming is linked to our extreme weather.

Climate Change Denialists vs. SCIENCE — Science Wins!

Why Does It Take A Republican To Say This?
Finally a politician communicates about the benefits of addressing climate change in innovation and technology. Surprisingly, it’s a Republican who’s doing this.
Science vs “But… But It Snowed Last Winter”
I’d pay good money to watch this debate. Reporting from Washington — Faced with rising political attacks, hundreds of climate scientists are joining a broad campaign to push back against congressional conservatives who have threatened prominent researchers with investigations and vowed to kill regulations to rein in man-made greenhouse gas emissions. The still-evolving efforts reveal […]
More Senate Sausagemaking — How the Climate Change Bill Failed
The New Yorker has a great article from Ryan Lizza detailing how the Climate Change Bill came together in the Senate, and how it came apart. Do yourself a favor and read The Whole Thing. The subtitle doesn’t do this article any justice and is really pretty wrong.
Climate Scientists Cleared
Not that this will matter to the educationally challenged. A British panel issued a sweeping exoneration on Wednesday of scientists caught up in the controversy known as Climategate, saying it found no evidence that they had manipulated their research to support preconceived ideas about global warming. John Cole states that the damage is already done, […]
So What’s Next: Climate or Immigration?
Well, today was supposed to be the first day of the rest of our lives, climate change legislationally-speaking. John Kerry, Joe Leiberman, and Lindsey Graham were set to publicly unveil their “tripartisan” climate change bill today, at least until Graham decided to walk away. Now, it has been indefinitely postponed. The reason for Graham’s defection […]
