The climate conspiracy theorists are enjoying their moment of glory with the hacked emails that were made public late last week.

And who can blame them, given that many of them were relegated to the fringe years ago?

I suspect that most mainstream media will not buy the overblown...

Former Republican strategist Marc Morano is having as much fun with the stolen emails from the Climate Research Unit that he did with the Swift Boat Veteran's for Truth attack he led against John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election.

Morano and his site Climate Depot has...

I'll admit, as someone who spends most days looking for leaked documents, the package of stolen emails and documents from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University is pretty juicy. Anything provides insight into the inner-workings of your opponents is pretty much manna from heaven in this...

I just got word that Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is planning on protesting a presentation Al Gore is making tomorrow night in Portland, Oregon.

Under the guise of the "teabagger movement" AFP will do what it does best, which is protesting clean energy and green jobs.

It's hard to...

(This is a re-post of an article my colleague Mitchell Anderson wrote)

Much-loved actor and Director Robert Redford launched the Sundance Channel fourteen years ago to broadcast independent and progressive films from around the world.

It is therefore surprising that the network is...

In a recent interview with the author of the controversial new book Climate Cover Up, Ring of Fire host Mike Papantonio made the point that when it comes to those people who prop themselves up as experts and say that climate change is not happening, the media are...

Environmental groups banded together for an unprecedented event outside the negotiating rooms at the Barcelona climate talks.

With alarm clocks ringing, and some alien visitors the group sent the message to country negotiators that the time is now for a climate deal and that we need world...

When I'm trying to unravel public relations spin, I frequently find myself asking WWFLD (What Would Frank Luntz Do)?

As you'll recall Frank Luntz is a chief Republican spin-doctor famous for his memo on climate change.

We have seen a lot of spindoctoring at the Barcelona climate...

Someone just sent one of the most ridiculous pieces of propaganda the coal lobby has produced to date.

Put out by the West Virginia Coal Association and their Friends of Coal front group, the "Let's Learn About Coal" coloring book, pretty much speaks for itself:

Is the Copenhagen climate change treaty dead? I'm not willing to say that yet, but it's pretty depressing here at the last pre-negotiation session underway in Barcelona.

Case in point: the head of the UN climate treaty process Yvo de Boer is now saying that, "It is physically impossible...

One year down and three to go in President's Obama's first term as the grand poohba and while there has been a lot of humming and hawing lately about his record to date on environmental issues, I remain blissfully optimistic with a touch of niggling cynicism.

I have always...

The biggest news coming out of the Barcelona climate talks being held this week is the re-framing of a successful climate change treaty as being one that is "politically binding" as opposed to "legally binding."

With all the long hours I've been putting into to covering these climate talks,...

I'm in Barcelona, Spain for the last round of climate negotiations prior to the big show set for mid-December in Copenhagen. I just touched down, so pardon any poor grammar, I'm a little bleary eyed at the moment.

The goal of the Barcelona meeting is to whittle down the...

I really don't know what to make of this video. At the least it's very entertaining, but I don't know if it will woo the likes of Laurie David to the altar!

Someone just sent me on of the best videos on climate action I've seen to date.

As they say in the video, if our children knew that our world's leaders were not taking the action they need to take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, they would rise up....

It has always baffled me as to why the renewable energy industry has never really pushed back on the fossil fuel sector's major lobby and misinformation efforts; but by the looks of a speech to be delivered tomorrow by the head of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the...

"The PR stunt wasn't pulled off by the Yes Men," says author James Hoggan. "The PR stunt is being pulled off by the US Chamber of Commerce and its been going on for decades."

The same can be said for the American Petroleum Institute.

This morning on Democracy Now...

Prius owners are happy with their fuel-sipping cars, but are steaming at Toyota.

So far over 700 Toyota car owners have submitted photos to MoveOn.org's campaign calling for Toyota to withdraw its membership from the US Chamber of Commerce.

Here's a few of the photos to give...

The 'Stand Up Take Action' online campaign officially launched worldwide this week with events in Australia, New Zealand and New York, with many more to come this weekend.

The effort, created by the United Nations Millennium Campaign and the Global Call to Action against Poverty (GCAP), seeks to...

My dad used to tell me that nothing ever gets done in a meeting that lasts more than a half hour. The latest round of international negotiations for a global climate change treaty have been underway for two years now. Some would argue that there's been more than ten years...
