Well, this is a weird way to remember the Falklands, which seemed to me that we went from Winter (Northern Hemisphere) to Winter (Southern Hemisphere). In this case, there is snow and gale force winds hereabouts. I’d also say it was a lot snowier here than it was in the Falklands (despite the proximity to [...]

Solyndra has become known as a boondoggle in the US. If you haven’t heard, it’s the solar power company that got $500 million in Recovery Act loans from the Department of Energy and then went belly up a couple of weeks ago. Conservatives have been trying to paint this as a big scandal of some [...]

Climate Change Denial Ends 14 September 2011 See also: http://climaterealityproject.org/

A friend of mine told me that British Foreign service workers used to receive hardship pay to live in Washington, DC at one time due to the hot summers. Now that the Earth is warming, we all need to think about more comfortable work attire for hot climates. Part of me wishes that the Continental [...]

I was at a family do this past weekend when the topic of climate change deniers came up with a relative who works in the field of climate change and food security. My question was “so, are you going to beat up on the likes of “Lord” Monckton and Sammy Wilson?” Her response surprised me, [...]

Two LUV News readers calling themselves The Class Warriors and wishing to remain anonymous, have made a video that should be seen widely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoKW771tG_Q

This little factoid really bothers me: There is a major paradigm shift in the climate story, in the climate problem. What changed, sometime around the turn of the century, was that global warming triggered outright climate change, and it did so a hundred years sooner than scientists expected. And so that huge shift in the [...]

We’re coming to get you! From The Armstrong & Miller Show: I really want to find their origins of Charity sketch and post it: annoying buggers.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-scientist-climate-20110105,0,6481221.story Kerry Emanuel is a highly regarded professor of atmospheric science at MIT. Based on his work on hurricanes and the research of his peers, Emanuel has concluded that the scientific data show a powerful link between greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. He also sees himself as a conservative. He believes marriage is between [...]

That goofy Conwell Alliance vid with all the talk of “the Green Dragon” is making me thirsty–especially since my fav pub when I was young was called “the Green Dragon”. The place had super music! Anyway, I decided to google up the old haunt, but it has changed owners and names. Anyway, there’s the Green [...]

Since I realised I am a “green” prior to Christmas, I can say the views presented by the “Christian” conservative groups is total rubbish. Environmentalism is in no way a religion. For that matter, they aren’t Christians either, but that’s a lot of other posts. The above video was put out by the Cornwall Alliance. [...]

OK, Europe is having an incredibly cold and snowy “winter” (even though it hasn’t passed the Solstice–meaning it’s still autumn).  That has the climate change deniers saying things such as “how can there be global warming when it’s this cold?” The problem is that this is a misunderstanding of the topic since it isn’t as [...]

One of the issues in the green community is how to impress the people who doubt the reality of climate change: that is the “well, the other day it was colder in southern Florida than northern Maine” type of person. Countries covering one fifth of the planet’s land saw record high heat. Drought altered the [...]

I just received a message from The Centre for Alternative Technology in Machynlleth, Wales asking for money. The Centre has been around since 1974 and I’d like to say its the oldest centre for information about green technology. If it’s not the oldest, it is one of the oldest centres, which makes me want to [...]
