Here’s an interesting suggestion for one thing we could do right away to slow down climate change for “only” $15 billion. Weaning humanity from its fossil fuel habit will take decades, and it will take decades more for global warming to stop. But one simple measure could slow warming in ...
Yesterday, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger took a well-deserved shot at Sarah Palin for her ditzy Washington Post op-ed denying that climate change is caused by human beings: “You have to ask: what was she trying to accomplish?” Schwarzenegger, in Copenhagen for the international climate change summit, told the Financial Times. ...

For a perfect example of the willfully, pig-headedly ignorant Republican position on climate change, check out this video from C-SPAN of Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tx). The first question from C-SPAN’s moderator: “What causes, in your perspective, global warming?” Barton’s reply: Well, the short answer would be God. Which might be OK if ...

Remember when RNC chairman Michael Steele criticized Rush Limbaugh, then was forced to back down and issue a groveling apology to the true head of the Republican Party?

FactCheck.org takes an in-depth look at “Climategate,” and notices something: there’s no “there” there. No conspiracies, no cover-ups, no fakery. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. In late November 2009, more than 1,000 e-mails between scientists at the Climate Research Unit of the U.K.’s University of East Anglia were stolen and made public ...
