The salient and problematic underlying political reality is that it climate change the culmination of longstanding processes of colonization and realpolitik.
By Jessica Hobby Catto President Obama talks the talk on energy conversion but it is time to start walking the walk. And I don't mean stroll. I mea...
There's much to love about carbon capture, in theory. But carbon capture continues our dependence on coal-fired power plants, and does little to change the status quo.
Hansen can keep pushing his carbon tax if he wants to. Heck, he can argue the merits of Betamax if he wants. But trashing Waxman-Markey based on recycled myths remains ill-conceived and unhelpful.
Children are staying home and hanging out with their parents instead of attending summer camp. And guess what, we might end up happier for it all.
Fuel and electricity costs are highly visible, but under Waxman-Markey, the benefits to consumers will be mostly invisible.

America can create millions of green jobs and combat global warming for the cost of 48 cents a day per household. That's less than most people pay for Netflix.
Is the climate bill so compromised that we who care about clean energy and the fate of the planet should have opposed it? There are three main reasons why, despite its imperfections, we had to support it.

This is Greenpeace's message to President Obama today: he needs to take the lead on addressing global warming.
Greening all of the world's businesses and our consumer habits through the economic signals of the marketplace will not change the energy base of civilization from fossil fuel.
This morning, three Greenpeace climbers hung a banner on Mt. Rushmore challenging President Obama to show real leadership on global warming.
US greenhouse gas emissions are falling quickly in 2009 and bringing us within close reach (a few years) of 1990 levels.
If we can repeal the last-minute biofuels amendments to ACES, we can instill a belief that biofuels done right can be a real, American-grown, global warming solution.
Despite repeated pledges to help, donors and international funding agencies are not doing enough to help. National economies recover but kids will have lost the opportunity of a lifetime.
Although the U.S. Chamber supports comprehensive legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we believe that the American Clean Energy and Security Act is fundamentally flawed.
The belief that a price signal on fuel purchases alone will fix our energy sector is simply unfounded. We need a strategic combination of technology, policy, and pricing to solve our energy dilemma and start curbing the climate crisis.
The constant danger of accidents heightens our emotional responses to other drivers, and directs our anger and bitterness towards individuals around us instead of towards a traffic-based society.
NYC utilities provider Con Edison estimates that if 1,000 businesses keep their doors open, they are wasting 4,600 barrels of oil and releasing 2,200 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Could you name these nuclear old-fogey countries that are nuclear-armed?!
What in the world are you talking about?
Cutesy article, but it doesn't cut it..
DO NOT REGULATE CARBON!
Wait until you visit your son's fraternity house. If they offer to let you tour the upstairs bedrooms, decline. Take my word for it. What they consider "picked up and clean for the parents" is still a pitted out, malodorous mess.
Blessings on you saint Vicki. I went to all boys prep school in my teen years. Looking back, we were wild animals. Not particularly smart either.
The funny thing is that while those countries - specifically China and India - are vocally holding out on signing onto the G8 (and other) agreements, they are making far more aggressive moves toward building clean energy plants and mastering wind and water energy production. China has recently increased their energy efficiency goals, and India did the same just this week. The reason is simple - money. As Barack Obama has repeatedly said - the country that leads the way in adopting and developing green energy production will lead the world. China wants to be that country - and the country's low labor costs make it a very realistic goal.
