Rush Says…..
This is several days old, but it brings up some very tasty food for thought. In a nutshell, when confronted with energy savings data only on the labels, both liberals and conservatives were more likely to buy CFL light bulbs over incandescent bulbs regardless of price difference.

Yes, It is. No, It Isn’t.
Andrew Sullivan links to this list of one-liners that one is supposed to use as a retort to certain claims made by those who question the role of humans in global climate change, or that the climate is even changing at all. Don't click the link, yet. Climate change is one of the few things [...]
Climate Conundrum
Last March, folks in my part of the world relished the warm temperatures and sunny days. My neighbor opened his pool a month and a half earlier then was historically wise.

Forecasts are predicting it will have a name soon and will be a category 1 hurricane by Thursday morning. Undisclosed sources say it may be call Katia or something like that. For those [...]
This Is Exactly What You Should Expect From A Blog Post About Climate Change
Discussion turns to climate change during periods of extreme weather. This has been a very hot summer for most of us here in the US, no doubt. Is it a sign of global, human directed, climate change? I don’t know. I listened to a recent interview Fresh Air host Terry Gross had with Heidi Cullen [...]
