POPSCheney Censored Climate Testimonyby
Wisco Yesterday 6:33 PM At issue was the EPA's denial of a waiver to California allowing them to set stricter emissions standards. In fact, EPA staff supported the waiver , but it was denied anyway. The Bush administration has had a long history of politicizing science -- which is basically denying facts... Which is basically lying.

POPSFuture of the World: Four Scenarios A must-read that probes world outcomes, in light of current crises, by thinking on how human systems transform: "Fundamental transformation is not only possible, it is the routine way natural systems evolve. Radical change is as common as grass in world history, because it is as common as grass in the life of all living systems. But here’s the critical point: What unlocks social transformation is a shift in values, because values are at the core of a self-organizing human system"

POPSStudy: End 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'by
Wisco Yesterday 12:21 PM I love that last paragraph. "No empirical evidence?" Well, other than the study, anyway. This is the same flatearther mentality that brings you creationism and climate change denial -- dismiss any evidence that doesn't back up your prejudice, then claim the other side isn't being scientific enough.

POPSCNN Headlines "Climate Change Killing Children" The loony left is at it again. Blaming global warming on what is essentially mismanagement of resources and graft. Anytime you don't feed a kid, it will of course be malnourished. The people of Timor got along just fine until Western Civilization entered and caused them to divert from their successful hunting/gathering/farming way of life. The real tragedy here isn't the boogy man of "global warming". It's the spectre of Global Liberalization that is killing kids.

POPSClimate of the Carboniferous Period Earth's atmosphere today contains about 380 ppm CO2 (0.038%). Compared to former geologic times, our present atmosphere, like the Late Carboniferous atmosphere, is CO2- impoverished! Understanding Earth's geologic and climate past is important for understanding why our present Earth is the way it is, and what Earth may look like in the future.

POPSThe coming famine "In light of all these hurdles, as I see it, the challenge is to double world food output by 2050 using less land, far less water and fewer nutrients – all in the teeth of increasing rates of drought. And we need to do it sustainably." "I believe we are quite capable of solving these issues through good science and good policy. In the first instance, we need to massively increase global public investment in agricultural research and development. Then we need to make sure the fruits of that research reach farmers everywhere. I also think that commercial wild harvests, such as fishing and forestry, should be phased out in favour of sustainable farming that dovetails with the local environment."

POPSTom Friedman calls for an "energy internet" Once again, Tom Friedman calls it like it is. This is a smart piece that i recommend everyone read. Despite a lot talk about green energy, i'm still shocked that the U.S. government isn't more focused on it and committed to aiding its development. I guess we can only hope that China and Europe lead the way.

POPSWhy Canada is the best haven from climate change As might be expected, developed nations score best. Canada is top, followed by Ireland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The United Kingdom is in 12th position, just behind the US. The surprise in the top 20 is Uruguay, which is listed ninth, and the only well-placed nation not to be in the club of countries which are rich, or Western (and usually both).
