Study says Arctic changing ‘at record pace’
An international team of 121 scientists has found “record-setting” change in the Arctic linked to global warming, including melting ice, warming waters and changing wind patterns. The 2011 Arctic Report Card, compiled by scientists from 14 countries, “shows that record-setting changes are occurring throughout the Arctic environmental system. “Given the…
Global warming rate less than feared: study
WASHINGTON — High levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may have less of an impact on the rate of global warming than feared, a study said Thursday. The authors of the study funded by the US National Science Foundation stressed that global warming is real, and that increases in…
Happy 4th of July!
Back home for the holiday! Thanks to Skepchick for inviting me to speak at CONvergence and just generally showing me a good time. Because I was in Minneapolis, I was able to do an hour-long interview on the Minnesota Atheists Sunday morning talk radio program. You can listen to it…
Our policies are working! Oh shit, blame the liberals!
Via Roy, I see Charlotte Hays of the National Review is really bringing it in the ongoing Wingnut Olympics, where competitors are judged by how many lies and non sequiturs they can cram into limited space. Hays has only one paragraph’s worth of material, and yet the bullshit packed in…
Libertarianism is fundamentally anti-human
I have some more observations from this New Yorker article about the brothers Koch and the immense, scary influence they have on the political system. A lot of stuff in here isn’t that surprising if you’re paying close attention—the self-aggrandizing to distract from the immorality of libertarianism, the astroturfing, the…
Harassing science out of existence
In my new book Get Opinionated, I discuss something I learned while “debating” a right wing relative, which is that one of the talking points that’s floating out there in the right wing noise machine is that scientists who study the climate—and therefore climate change—are the real money-grubbing assholes who’ll…
Global warming denialism, part 3: The difference between skeptics and denialists
One of the most pernicious aspects of the global warming conspiracy theorists who imply that millions of scientists, politicians, pundits, and activists are in collusion to perpetrate a global warming hoax is the way they call themselves “skeptics”. Even How To Talk To A Climate Skeptic uses this term, reinforcing…
We’re losing the rhetorical battle of global warming
Drop what you’re doing and read Peter Daou’s impassioned response to the news that nearly half of Americans now have bought into the idea that global warming is an exaggerated and quite possibly made up problem. That’s the sort of thing that really makes you want to throw your hands…
There’s nothing in the world that’s not the fault of bitches
Via Sadly, No, I see that the Vatican and their misogynist sycophants like the Anchoress are up to their usual tricks, namely blaming women—as they’ve done going back to Eve—for pretty much everything that goes wrong, even when the vast majority of people who fucked this up were male. You,…
Jesus Was Born In A Desert
The War on Christmas goes right up to the 11th hour. Build-A-Bear has a series of videos on their website which mention global warming, and, well, they’re building “eco-fascist Manchurian candidates”, although I’m not sure what the normal Build-A-Bear audience is going to be running for. Third grade class president?…
