Presidential hopeful Marco Rubio in a new interview says I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it. And I do not believe that the laws that they propose we pass will do anything about it. Except it will destroy our economy. […]
© David Horsey There are absolutely no Republicans in the House who believe in man-made climate change, and only a few in the Senate. Even though the recent National Climate Assessment documents significant effects caused by global warming that are already happening, Republicans are in denial. But with huge campaign contributions coming from the fossil […]
© Tom Tomorrow Here are the latest updates on the North Carolina sea level change controversy and Republican attempts to de-prioritize government climate change research. It would almost be funny if it weren’t all true. Do they really believe they can just legislate away scientific reality? If so, we are in a heap of trouble.

© Randall Munroe I guess, like everything else, it is all relative. So the next time someone remarks on the cold and says that global warming is a joke, I’ll just point out that the only reason they notice the cold is because they’ve gotten used to it being much warmer.

Very interesting study done at Yale comes to some surprising conclusions about how our politics can override rational thinking. The study did this by giving people a math problem to solve. The problem presented the results of a fictional medical trial for a new skin cream designed to treat rashes. Half the participants in the […]

Sadly and predictably, the entire contingent of House Republicans from Colorado asked (practically begged) the federal government for emergency funding in the wake of massive flooding in Colorado, but they all voted against emergency relief for Superstorm Sandy victims on the East Coast just a few months ago. The same Republicans also signed a letter […]
This would make the news far more interesting!

What I find ironic about all this is that even though Mitt Romney claims to be a good businessman, even businesses are waking up to the fact that they have to do something about climate change. Take the recent cover article from Bloomberg Businessweek, which quotes an insurance company warning that there has been “a […]
Or, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. © Matt Bors We could be creating jobs finding alternatives to greenhouse-gas-producing fossil fuels, and eliminate our dependence on foreign oil. Or we can spend our time and money cleaning up after the mess we are creating.

This has little to do with politics (other than how Hurricane Sandy might affect the election), but if you are curious what I do in my not-spare time, here’s an article that talks about an animated map I created showing flight cancelations due to Sandy. You can also find it here, along with lots of […]

© Adam Zyglis Here’s the problem with ideology. Especially the ideology of thinking that it is a good idea to starve the federal government until you can drown it in the bathtub. It sounds appealing … until it runs into real life. As they say, “In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, […]

Former FEMA Director Michael “Heckuva Job Brownie” Brown, who completely bungled the response to Hurricane Katrina, is criticizing Obama for responding to Hurricane Sandy “so quickly”. You can’t make stuff like this up. UPDATE: Why Hurricane Sandy is the perfect end to the campaign.

© Ben Sargent Richard Muller, one of the most widely quoted climate change deniers, who even directed a climate change project funded by the Koch brothers, has done what he calls a “total turnaround”. In an editorial in the NY Times, Muller calls himself a converted skeptic. Muller now says that global warming is real, […]
