TagsTagsHere's an extraordinary speech on climate change and the insanely dangerous behavior of the right wing, by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), via Joe Romm. Mr. President, I am here to speak about what is currently an unpopular topic in this town. It has become no longer politically correct in ...

I agree with almost everything Al Gore writes in his New York Times op-ed today, but we all know that people who despise Gore (and there are more than a few on the right) are going to reject it out of hand. Gore is a very polarizing figure, partly because of ...

Here’s a video from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies with stunning satellite imagery, illustrating the basic principles of global warming. If you already know the basics, you won’t get any new information from this — but it’s worth watching anyway for the pretty pictures. The 720p HD version is ...

This animated graph shows surface measurements of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere at various latitudes, within a time period spanning 1979 to 2006, with a map displaying where the data came from. At the end, the graph expands to include ice core measurements back to the 19th century. Hockey ...

Environmentalist Peter Sinclair’s latest video deals with the effect of water vapor on global warming — an effect that’s often exaggerated and misrepresented by climate deniers, even though extensive scientific evidence shows that water vapor is a much smaller active agent than carbon dioxide.

Yesterday, the leaders of 18 major American scientific organizations — some of the most reputable and respected organizations in the world — sent the following letter to the US Senate, strongly urging Senators to address the issue of human-caused climate change and offering their help to become better informed. October ...

Science Daily has more details on the alarming Caltech study we noted earlier this week, led by Aradhna Tripati: Last Time Carbon Dioxide Levels Were This High: 15 Million Years Ago, Scientists Report. “The last time carbon dioxide levels were apparently as high as they are today — and were ...

A new study by Caltech scientists led by geochemist Aradhna Tripati shows that there hasn’t been this much carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere for at least 15 Million Years. “The last time carbon dioxide levels were apparently as high as they are today and were sustained at those levels, ...

In every LGF thread related to climate change, people show up to float the absurd claim that CO2 is a good thing. We need more of it, not less. Those tricksy scientists are just lying to you again. You know how they are. You can’t trust 'em. Except that the scientists ...

Christopher Monckton, who last appeared at LGF in July 2008 when he claimed to have a peer reviewed paper showing that the Earth’s climate sensitivity had been vastly overstated (a claim that turned out to be false), has been caught out again, deliberately manipulating data to claim that IPCC projections ...

The Environmental Protection Agency seems to be backtracking on recent statements in favor of regulating CO2 emissions, after a document warning of economic damage was leaked: EPA Chief: CO2 Danger Finding May Not ‘Mean Regulation’. WASHINGTON — The head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday a finding that ...

Uh oh. Humans Halfway to Causing Dangerous Climate Change. When human injection of carbon into the atmosphere reaches 1 trillion tons, dangerous climate change with average global warming of more than 2 Celsius degrees will likely occur, a new analysis finds. And humans are hurrying toward that 1 trillion mark. So ...
