Oak Park and Korea Smart Grid Institute sign agreement The village of Oak Park, a suburb west of Chicago, was recently selected from a list of competing volunteer neighborhoods to be the test site for smart grid technology. The project is a joint venture between the Korean Smart Grid Institute and the Institute for Sustainable Energy Development, and will involve placing …

You may recall the Washington Post‘s editorial page editor coming to his senses (briefly) in April 2011, writing, ?The GOP’s climate-change denial may be its most harmful delusion.? But that was apparently no reason for the paper to stop deluding its readers with the umpteenth piece of disinformation from resident anti-scientist George Will. While many studies have shown climate change has …

Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced his resignation today. He sent out a remarkable letter to Energy Department employees. Given that he has not spoken out strongly on the climate crisis since the start of his term, his words on the subject are striking. Here are some excerpts: The average temperature of our planet is rising, with majority of the …

Through June of 2012, renewable energy was right behind natural gas in terms of the most new energy generating capacity being installed in the United States, with wind making up most of the renewables push. And now Business Insider has flagged the numbers for the remainder of the year. Last week, they reported that wind ultimately pulled ahead of natural gas …

So much that is wrong with the media and politics can be found in this Washington Post headline: I understand why fossil-fuel-funded conservatives assert that climate change is “liberal.” By why does the Associated Press and WashPost fall into that trap? I guess it’s true, as Stephen Colbert famously said, “reality has a well-known liberal bias.” See also David Frum Tweets: ?Horrible …

Graphic depiction of the amount of sunlight above and underneath the Arctic sea ice. The growing coverage of the ice by darker meltponds increases the share of sunlight [that] passes the sea ice. That means, the space underneath the ice becomes brighter and warmer. Furthermore less sunlight is refleced back into the atmosphere. Graphic: Alfred Wegener Alfred Wegener Institute news …

Al Gore’s new book, The Future, isn’t mostly about climate change. In fact, global warming is only one of the “Six drivers of global change.” Others drivers include globalization, the internet (surprise, surprise) and “the reinvention of life and death” from the genomic, biotech, neuroscience, and life sciences revolutions. Any Gore book is worth reading — Our Choice is one of the …

The American Legislative Exchange Council is a “stealth business lobbyist,” according to the New York Times. It has been bleeding corporate and business members over the last year due to controversial legislation it has promoted on issues ranging from voter suppression to minimum wage laws. ALEC often acts as a kind of factory for template legislation enacting right-wing policy priorities, and …

The bad news is that we’re all but certain to end up with a coastline at least this flooded (20 meters or 69 feet): The “good” news is that this might take 1000 to 2000 years (or longer), and the choices we make now can affect the rate of rise and whether we blow past 69 feet to beyond 200 feet. …

Somewhere on a Hollywood movie set for Groundhog Day, Part 2: Bill Murray wakes up to find he’s just lived through the hottest decade on record, just as he did in the 1990s, just as he did in the 1980s. And he keeps waking up in the hottest decade on record, until he gains the kind of maturity and wisdom …

Columbia Journalism Review published the sorry statistics: Thank goodness an understanding of science is not more important in people’s lives today than it was in 1989. Actually, the situation is even worse than those numbers indicate. They are really for daily newspapers in the U.S. that run weekly science and health sections. As a 2006 Shorenstein Center analysis cited by CJR …

If a tree falls in the forest (because of global warming), but the media doesn’t report on it, does it make a sound? That is the question posed by the amazing banner graphic in today’s Washington Post: In its quantification of the key elements of the speech, yhe paper’s editors apparently couldn’t see or hear or speak of the nearly 10% …

by Greg Laden via Scienceblogs You may know the blog Watts Up With That. It is Anthony Watts’ anti-science blog, dedicated to climate change denialism. A current post reports the finding of life forms from another planet, in a meteorite. This looks to be a huge story, the first evidence of extraterrestrial life, if it holds up?. This is from a …

Highlighting the fact that a global switch to renewable energy is not just necessary, but doable, a new report released by the WWF concludes that the solar arrays necessary to meet all the world’s projected energy needs in 2050 would cover under one percent of global land area. Obviously this is a theoretical exercise, and 100 percent of the planet’s electricity …

By Jessica Goad Newly-minted Washington Governor Jay Inslee has been lauded for his impassioned views on environmental issues from climate change to renewable energy. Indeed, his first official act as governor was to write a letter to a clean energy company inviting it to relocate to the state. In his first press conference as governor last week, Inslee addressed another aspect …

By Dr. Mark Boslough, via HuffPost Benjamin Franklin, the first American Ambassador to France, was both a statesman and a scientist. On September 3, 1783 he co-signed the Treaty of Paris at the Hotel d’York, in which the British acknowledged the American Colonies to be free and independent States, ending the American Revolution. Franklin’s political eye was focused, but his scientific …

50-50. Those were the odds you could get in DC for a bet on whether or not Obama would ultimately approve the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. But this week I think the odds turned against the pipeline, for two reasons: Obama devoted far more of his second inaugural address to climate change than anybody expected — and framed the issue …

China is trying to get a leg up on the market for clean transportation by bulking up the rate it’s been filing patents. According to a recent report in Europe’s China Daily, China filed over 2,000 patents for alternative-energy cars in 2012, placing it just behind Japan and the United States, and dead even with Germany and South Korea: With a …
