The general scientific consensus is that the average global temperature cannot be allowed to warm more than two degrees Celsius [3.6°F] in order to avoid catastrophic climate change. In fact, a two degree rise alone would threaten the water supplies of hundreds of millions of people, lead to global crop declines, bleach coral reefs around the world, and drive up ocean …

Although House Republicans may have not gotten the memo yet, businesses are flocking to renewable energy as a smart business investment. Ikea already plans on doubling its renewable energy investment to $4 billion by 2020, months after announcing it will pursue renewables to cut costs and protect business from from the volatile fossil fuel market. ?Looking at how quickly we?re expanding …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

I routinely repost climate de-crocks from Peter Sinclair. But last week, the uber-videographer turned the camera on me: It is amazing how much more persuasive anyone sounds when they get professionally edited with graphs and clips thrown in. Which coincidentally segues me into my book Language Intelligence: Lessons on persuasion from Jesus, Shakespeare, Lincoln, and Lady Gaga, which is available on …

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), the top GOP member on the Senate?s energy panel, laid out a sweeping blueprint today that includes opening up more federal lands and waters to oil drilling, launching a new green energy ?trust fund,? and general revamping of U.S. green energy policy — but no serious climate action. [The Hill] The blueprint ? …

By Bill Becker [Part 1 is here] As President Obama decides how to tackle the growing threat of climate disruption, he might look to precedents set by the two Roosevelts when they occupied the White House during the last century. Theodore Roosevelt, who served as president from 1901 to 1909, subscribed to the “stewardship theory” of executive power. As legal scholars …

By Kevin Grandia via DeSmogBlog A new video featuring four energy experts, outlines the issues surrounding the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, the Alberta tar sands and climate change. The video describes the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline as a “lynchpin enabling the climate intensive tar sands industry to grow unimpeded.” Watch it: The video features Dr. Danny Harvey, a Climatologist at …

After President Obama won reelection, Fox News headlined that Obama’s reelection triggered “mass layoffs” in the coal industry. So far, the facts defy the war on coal hype. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, coal mining employment has stayed relatively flat since the election. Employment was constant for the last two months, at 82,000 workers. It dipped slightly between November …

Senator Tom Carper (D-DE) By Michael Conathan During an hour-long conversation about offshore wind energy hosted by the Center for American Progress Action Fund, Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE) repeatedly channeled Stephen Stills and his Buffalo Springfield bandmates when talking about climate change. ?There?s something happenin? here,? Carper quoted, before paraphrasing in reference to his climate-denier colleagues on the Senate Committee on …

The major media continue to sow confusion on one of the central questions of our time: How much warming will we subject our children and countless future generations to? The answer to that question depends primarily on four factors: The so-called ?equilibrium climate sensitivity? ? the sensitivity of the climate to fast feedbacks like sea ice and water vapor. The ECS …

A recent poll found Americans would prefer a carbon tax to cutting spending for deficit reduction by a huge margin. Commissioned by Friends of the Earth and conducted by the Mellman Group in December, the poll is the latest evidence that actions on climate change — and efforts to tax or cap carbon emissions specifically — are not the inevitable political losers assumed …

Obama has now framed climate action and inaction in moral terms, as a betrayal of future generations. So it seemed like a good time to run this (slightly) updated repost, which explains why our inaction is indeed sich a betrayal. That — and it’s my own daughter’s six birthday. Fundamentally, homo “sapiens” sapiens has constructed the grandest of Ponzi schemes, whereby …

By Rebecca Lefton and Julius Fischer Easy to read, reliable and current data can be hard to come by. The new Sustainable Energy in America 2013 Factbook produced by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), and commissioned by the Business Council on Sustainable Energy (BCSE), provides detailed information on topics ranging from US energy consumption, to the boom in natural gas and …

According to the latest research from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, electricity from wind power can now be supplied more cheaply in Australia than power from either coal or natural gas — and solar and other forms of renewable energy aren’t far behind. Older coal-fired power plants from the 70s and 80s still compete at lower prices than renewables — but only …

With the State of the Union speech coming tonight, environmental groups are hoping President Obama will call for a big push to tackle climate change by bringing the powers of the executive office to bear on the problem. [The Hill] ?We are hoping to see some more substance on exactly what the president?s plan will be like, be it on the …
