(Posted by S2)BPSDBInspired by a comment by guthrie, I thought I’d take a look at the seasons here in Scotland. Are they changing as guthrie claims, or is this just natural variability being taken out of context?

BPSDB If you haven’t been following the CRU hack story, the Union of Concerned Scientists has a nice overview: Debunking Misinformation About Stolen Climate Emails in the “Climategate” Manfuactured Controversy The manufactured controversy over emails stolen from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit has generated a lot more heat than light over the [...]

Copenhagen: One World – Keep Us Safe! BPSDB from Avaaz.org With 4 days to go and leaders arriving tomorrow, planet-saving negotiations are failing to deliver.

CJF hunger strike day 37, streets of Copenhagen
Posted in Activism, Climate Change, tagged Climate Change, Climate Justice, Climate Justice Fast, Global Warming on December 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »
BPSDB CJF Press Conference in Copenhagen – Tuesday 8th Dec Only Day 6 for me and I am shocked at how lethargic and dull I have become. Is this a passing phase in the bodies response? or does it reflect underlying health conditions? (there is some diabetes in the family history, so maybe?). Regardless, Anna [...]
We will and who are we

COP 15 … Incipit BPSDB Copenhagen marks a beginning, but of what? Is it to be an era of unprecedented international cooperation to deal with a global threat? That seems unlikely at this point. The last decade can only be described as the Triumph of Ignorance. So are we then to descend into the kind [...]

BPSDB Potholer54 does a wonderful job of pointing out some of the most glaring contradictions and outright Denier stupidities in the claims being made about the CRU emails. Share it … often! This comment by MoellerPlesset2 at Slashdot is worth reading (and sharing) in it’s entirety:
Fox News praises Jon Stewart for climategate coverage
Posted in Climate Change, Media, tagged Climate Change, CRU Hack, Exposing Deniers, Global Warming on December 3, 2009 | 15 Comments »
BPSDB That’s right, Faux News thought Stewart’s coverage was just great, no irony or sarcasm at all. The sad news is, Fox is right. The Daily Show earned that praise and deserves it, unfortunately.
