  • Rising Smugness Swamps all Reason

    Clearly - according to Fraywatch - all is well in the Eco-Temple. Hate to break-up the prayer circle, but - for the record - there is no scientific consensus on the catastrophic effects of climate change, and - actually - there can be no purely scientific consensus, because the effects will be in the space where the natural world, the economic ...

  • Re: A Response from Andrew Revkin

    Beautifully stated! The science issues are: i) whether or not we have anthropogenic CO2 mediated global warming (settled in the affirmative); ii) what the magnitude and varied impacts of this warming will be (not settled). The complementary policy issue is what - if anything - should be done about this. As a layman, I'd be happy to restrict my ...

  • Climate science and dissent

    I had other plans for this morning, but the article by Rosenbaum and the subsequent discussion are too interesting to ignore (thanks, Matt, for the link). As a climate scientist (30 years of active research in government laboratories and academia and more than 200 peer-reviewed publications), professor, and lecturer on global climate, the ...

  • Global warming consensus: bait and switch

    Whether or not we experiencing anthropogenic climate change is not the interesting or difficult issue; rather, what could or should be done to adapt to, or prevent global change - of all sorts, not just climate mediated change - is where we should have information, and debate. But the consensus-mongers among us are trying to push the view that ...

  • Comments on article and discussion

    Interesting discussion. I work in the field of computer modeling of nonlinear physical phenomena, although not in the particular field of climate modeling (my PhD is in physics). Every month or so I do a quick review of some of the literature concerning the climate debate. Thank you, Ron, for a nice article on the subject of reporting ...

  • When is skepticism wrong?

    As is often the case, the question is where to draw the line. Is the earth round, or is it flat after all? Does the earth orbit the sun, or is it immobile after all? Do species evolve through mechanisms such as natural selection and genetic drift, or were they all created through the direct agency of a supernatural person? Is ''space-time'' ...

  • "Find the Argument"

    I wish Ron Rosenbaum had explored my <a href=''http://www.nytimes.com/dotearth''>Dot Earth</a> posts and Times articles on how best to<a href=''http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/29/climate-research-media-focus-whiplash/''> cover climate science</a> as well as my blogroll. Then he might have realized that Nick ...

  • Business Innovation

    I think that one of the greatest steps toward improving our environment is increasing the individuals sense of responsibility toward it. One of the best ways we can do this is by supporting innovative businesses that not only provide us with our desired utility but also benefit the environment. For example, I came across a website ...

  • Regarding the Wall-E article...

    ''Wall-E tells us that if we don't change the way we live, we'll all get really fat and destroy the world.'' You'll find no bigger supporter of the first amendment than me. However, I think the statement above, quoted from the article is a little biased. To me, it sounds like someone who is just looking for a reason to look down on ...

  • Fat enough

    I couldn't even finish this article. I am sure that some people can't help being fat. All your science aside I have known many people that went from an active lifestyle to an inactive one and gained a lot of weight. Period. If you don't care enough about your own body to eat right, exercise, and generally take care of the one and only thing in ...
