The decision to reject construction of the Keystone XL pipeline should be an easy one for the Obama Administration. Mind you, "easy decision" is a relative term when it comes to the President of the United States. All decisions a POTUS faces are complex...

Climate change is loading the dice for extreme weather - or haven't you heard? The oft-repeated dice analogy didn't fully resonate for me until I read this quote from heavy-hitting climate scientist Michael Mann:

While Bebbo is unconvinced that the pop culture prowess of "Gangnam Style" can make us forget our climate is in crisis, that doesn't mean 2012 provided no hope for our fight against global warming. It appears the U.S. -- Earth's second-biggest...

A recent analysis of papers appearing in peer-reviewed science journals shows published scientists to be virtually unanimous in their agreement that human-produced carbon dioxide emissions are a significant cause of global warming. You are free to disagree with my characterization of the...

Global warming is real. Statistics unequivocally prove Mother Earth is on a hot streak. Deal with it.

Have doubts? Join me for What on Earth Descriptive Analogy Time (WoeDAT!) Imagine you're a sports fan whose favorite team's record has been above .500 for 332...

Damnit! I hate it when I'm right! - NYPD Lieutenant John McClane

First off, for those not acquainted with the career of fictional police detective John McClane, check out the "Die Hard" movie franchise. Some of the best action movies of all...

Some signs of climate change are conspicuous. Hurricane Sandy, for instance. Other signs, such as the precarious predicament of the tuatara is less so. The tuatara is on the road to extinction. Why is the tenuous existence of this simple little lizard...

Facts can be funny things and the fact is, some people don't look at the facts when assessing the economic impacts of environmentally friendly business practices.

There has been an ugly rumor floating around that sustainable energy is bad business. Witness the recent U.S....

In talking about folks who are concerned about man-made global warming, much-publicized climate change skeptic (and part-time meteorologist) Anthony Watts recently told PBS, "They want to change policy. They want to apply taxes and these kinds of things may not be the...

Climate Denial World is a strange and wonderous place. The inhabitants of Climate Denial World live in an atmosphere unrestrained by facts, science, or statistical likelihood.

Here on Planet Earth, our climate scientists are virtually unanimous in their assessment of...

The U.S. Energy Information Agency recently reported that the United States -- the all-time career leader in greenhouse gas emissions -- has lost a step. And that's a good thing. America's carbon dioxide output for the first quarter of this year dropped...

Bill McKibben's recent piece in Rolling Stone, "Global Warming's Terrifying New Math", is probably (pound for pound) the best piece ever written about the dire straights anthropogenic climate change has presented the human race.

I can't improve upon Mr. McKibben's words, but...

The NOAA recently determined that the May 2011-April 2012 timeframe was the warmest 12 month period on record for the contiguous U.S., as Bebbo and Kito recently discussed. But pity that poor timeframe, because it has already been eclipsed by...

If asked to imagine a green building, what would you see with your mind's eye? A fragile-looking glass and steal box? Maybe a garden and solar panels covering the roof? A sign out front that reads something like, "Sustainably Grown Organic Tofu Cooperative?"
