I can't imagine why any serious journalist would cite the work of The Breakthrough Institute (TBI) -- except to debunk it. As we'll see once again, they constantly misstate and misrepresent what others say, and generally put out very bad analysis designed to push their anti-climate-action, anti-environmental agenda.

So why...

One of the country's leading journalists has written a searing critique of the media's coverage of global warming, especially climate economics.

The study deserves attention because the media is making the same mistakes in reporting on the Waxman-Markey energy and climate bill that the author warns against (see "

Nobel prize-winning NYT columnist Paul Krugman has an excellent piece on climate economics 101, "An Affordable Salvation." It follows an economic lesson he gave on his blog to anti-green Washington Post columnist Robert Samuelson. Krugman explains:

It's important to understand that just as denials that climate change...

The media just keeps missing -- or messing up -- the story of the century.

Future historians will inevitably judge all 21st-century presidents on just two issues: global warming and the clean energy transition. If the world doesn't stop catastrophic climate change -- Hell and High Water -- then...

A radioactive dirty bomb has been dropped on the Senate stimulus package.

On Wednesday, the Senate Appropriations Committee voted to add $50 billion in nuclear loan guarantees to the economic recovery package (S. 336). This "would more than double the current loan guarantee cap of $38 billion" for...

What events, actions, and findings had the most positive or negative impact on the likelihood that the nation and the world will act in time to avoid catastrophic warming?

Since the #1 story is way too obvious to generate any drama, I will start there and then go back and...

Science magazine is reported Thursday that "Strong indications are that President-elect Barack Obama has picked physicist John Holdren to be the president's science adviser."

I have known Holdren for over a decade and have discussed energy/climate issues with him many times....

10. Tina Palin [Sarah Fey?]. Palin helped ruin John McCain's chances by turning off independents and in general being emblematic of his erratic approach to decision-making. Plus she is the gift that keeps on giving as "

If you like the old media's misreporting on climate (see "The NYT blows the bark beetle story" and so does NBC), then you'll love this whopper from the Politico, "Scientists urge caution on global...

Voters who care about either global warming or clean energy have only one choice -- and it isn't McCain-Palin.

It's time to stop trying to guess whether the latest McCain campaign gaffe revision on global warming means the Arizonan has...

Did you know that John McCain has proposed a real cut in spending on:

• breast cancer research


• children's health


• student loans


• early childhood education


• funding to help poor people pay their energy bills


• loans to small businesses


• solar energy


• the...

If you don't watch the debates on CNN, you are really missing something. CNN has set up a dial group of uncommitted Ohio voters. At the bottom of the screen CNN then shows the graph of the reaction by men and women as they rate statements they like or...

John McCain's new coziness with Big Oil is in many respects just a replay of his old coziness with Charles Keating. In both cases, money and access bought influence. Let's start with oil.

Last month, Time reported that McCain tapped a "prominent Washington lobbyist," William E. Timmons Sr., to...

Palin had told Katie Couric "I'm not going to solely blame all of man's activities on changes in climate."

The debate transcript reveals she still can't get her talking points straight on this issue:

I'm not one to...

Let's look at why McCain lost the debate by a large margin (13% or 14%) in the two insta polls out, from CBS and CNN.

Obama's twin strategies (his goals) were clear -- cross the Commander in Chief threshold and link McCain to Bush. His matching tactics -- what...

Obama has begun to win the crucial clean energy and energy independence issue. He should deliver the knockout blow in the next two debates and his ads.

In particular, Obama should go after McCain's most delusional statement in the debate since it raises serious questions as to whether McCain is...

How did Obama beat McCain's erratic grand-standing on the debate? By constantly standing up to him and turning his erratic stunt against him.

McCain said it was time to drop everything, including campaigning, and stay in Washington until a bail-out deal was done. Obama turned that argument back on McCain...

McCain has used the financial bail-out to try to bail out of his nose-diving campaign. But he doesn't seem to realize that he has landed behind enemy territory.

The most dangerous storyline for McCain is that he is an erratic hothead, a fighter jock who lacks the temperament to be...

Part 1 explored why debates are typically won by the candidate who presents the most compelling and persuasive character. If I can convince you I'm an honest, straight talker, you'll believe what else I say. If you can't, you won't.

The corollary, of course, is that another way to...
