BPSDB Disempowering ourselves again “It’s unlikely that the U.S. is going to take serious action on climate change until there are observable, dramatic events, almost catastrophic in nature, that drive public opinion and drive the political process in that direction,” Stavins, director of Harvard’s Environmental Economics Program in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said today in an interview [...]

Rap Attack: I’m A Climate Scientist
Posted in Assault on Science, Climate Change, humour on May 11, 2011 | 38 Comments »
BPSDB . Hat tip to Magnus and Gareth The F-bomb again, sigh. Maybe Tobis really has fundamentally altered the tone of climate science discussion? OK, they are climate scientists, there are actual facts and some legitimate political commentary in there, enjoy.
Media Strategy for the Tyndall Gas Effect
Posted in Media, Strategic Activism, tagged Climate Change, Deniers, Exposing Deniers, Global Warming, John Tyndall, Media, media strategy, Nonviolent action on May 10, 2011 | 10 Comments »
BPSDB Nothing New Under the Sun Science in the days of John Tyndall, the man who in the mid 19th century identified the greenhouse gases (the greenhouse effect itself was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824) certainly had to deal with Deniers. After all, it was a period of great scientific discovery, including Darwin’s Evolution [...]
This is what Demockracy looks like

As long as we’re on the topic (for the last time, at least for a good long while) I decided to move this post up (and several others still to appear). The context is this video by Katie Goodman of Broad Comedy. It’s a little ditty that uses “f**ked” as a hook and to entertain, [...]
High Praise for Greenfyre’s from Judith Curry
Posted in humour, tagged Judith Curry on May 5, 2011 | 16 Comments »
BPSDB Yes, yes, naturally I realize that it isn’t actually meant as praise, it is clearly meant to be an insult. However, Dr Curry really needs to actually read what she praises and what she condemns (like that was news). What Dr Curry has done is cite “Science Abuse” on the site “Muck and Mystery” [...]
RotFL! too funny! “The Truth About Greenfyre”
Posted in humour, tagged Deniers, Exposing Deniers, PopTech on May 4, 2011 | 69 Comments »
ALERT! The climate change Deniers have acquired a powerful new skill! Apparently they are now able to actually use a search engine! What do you suppose tipped them off? the pictures on my FaceBook page? the articles I’ve written about it? the radical new concept of actually looking for information? The delicious irony of discovering [...]
Der, den du am meisten nährst!
Posted in Activism, Assault on Science, Climate Change, tagged Climate Change, Deniers, Exposing Deniers, Global Warming, Nonviolent action, Nonviolent resistance, Philosophy of resistance, Steve Mosher on May 3, 2011 | 15 Comments »
BPSDB Fuddle Duddle Chamberlain, Trudeau or … ? Flotsam A couple of weeks ago Michael Tobis shocked the delicate, refined sensibilities of the climate change Deniers by stating unambiguously what is at stake and what he felt were the unhelpful contributions of Steve Mosher. Michael was blowing off some steam and may have used some [...]
ChamberGate, some points to ponder

BPSDB On April 29th a person using the twitter account “@septscelles” released a large file to Barrett Brown that purportedly contained secret US Chamber of Commerce documents. ~ Muskegon Critic If you hadn’t heard about this it’s because there’s nothing to hear. The data dump seems to contain nothing that wasn’t already publicly available and/or [...]
The media, you get what they paid for
Posted in Assault on Science, Climate Change, Media, Politics, tagged Climate Change, Dave Roberts, Global Warming, Joe Romm, Media, media strategy on May 3, 2011 | 8 Comments »
BPSDB Recently Joe Romm was very impressed with Dave Roberts’ “Policy in an age of post-truth politics” where “the referees have left the building” and for the most part I have to agree (hint, read it). However, I think there is one significant disagreement, less so with Roberts than Romm I think, who summarized Roberts’ article [...]
Method without Science, tactics without strategy
Posted in Assault on Science, Climate Change, Climate Science, Denier Culture, Politics, tagged Climate Change, Communicating Science, Deniers, Exposing Deniers, Global Warming, John Nicols, Judith Curry, Media on May 2, 2011 | 8 Comments »
BPSDB Method without Science, or method … “Opps!” Seeing the recent “Science without method” post at Climate Etc I opted to first read the Nicol paper it was discussing before reading Dr Curry’s discussion of it. The article alleges to highlight failures of climate change science, and in an obviously unintended way both it and Curry’s discussion [...]
Tornadoes and Earthquakes and Storms, oh my!
Posted in Climate Change, Climate Impacts, tagged Climate Change, Exposing Deniers, extreme weather, Flooding, Global Warming, Hurricanes, storms, Tornadoes on May 2, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
BPSDB The recent tornadoes in the United States have lead to a resurgence of articles talking about the link between extreme weather, natural disasters and climate change. If you are an interested member of the general public you are undoubtedly confused as the two sides of the debate seem to be making opposing claims, and [...]
