Over the past year, I have seen far too many political cartoons on the editorial pages of newspapers accusing climate scientists of fraud. It amazes me what is allowed to be published without evidence in respected media publications. However, there are still some great cartoons about climate change, sans libel. Here are two of my [...]

I really enjoyed this post by Andrew Freedman on the Washington Post blog Capital Weather Gang. I think it is written at the perfect level – basic enough for new readers to catch up on current events, while including enough creative insights to keep the interest of climate science enthusiasts. The article covers the attempts [...]
The Best Satire Ever

A few days ago we covered analogies, and Dan Olner pointed me to a great one that has sparked this post. It was written as an April Fools’ on RealClimate, and reads in part: A “consensus view” amongst climate scientists holds that the Northern Hemisphere will be warming this month, as spring is coming. This [...]

Another batch of private emails from climate scientists has been leaked/hacked/stolen/whatever. These ones, though, are very different than the last. It’s a thread of emails from the NAS, and these guys are mad. They are mad about vested interests skewing the discussion. They are mad that journalists have sat and lapped it right up without [...]
How to Prove Global Warming Wrong

Over the past twenty years, vested interests and political lobby groups have done a fantastic job confusing the public about anthropogenic climate change. To many, they seem to have proven the whole theory wrong. But how could you actually prove global warming wrong – not just in the minds of the public, but through the [...]

Here is a re-upload of some public education videos (aimed at students) I created in the summer, in association with Climate Change Connection. Read the citations, and take the survey if you’re feeling brave. Enjoy!
Loose Ends

A couple of stories that couldn’t be elaborated into an entire post: I met Elizabeth May (the leader of the Canadian Green Party) not long ago when she came to my local university. We had a chat about their emission reduction plans – a 30% reduction from 1990 levels by 2020, and 90% by 2050. [...]
A Fun Quote

“Although the most extreme environmental zealots may be relatively few in number, they have managed to gain undue influence by exploiting the gullibility of scientifically illiterate people who are only too willing to believe the planet needs saving from man’s excesses. Perhaps this phenomenon is a psychological throwback to earlier civilizations that offered human sacrifices [...]
Some Much-Needed Humour

Am I the only one out there who feels a little depressed about climate change? A little depressed that, whether or not we have the technological capability to replace fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions, our society is so lacking in political will that the actions will never get off the ground? A little depressed [...]
