us/Denier Conference Readies for Round Three
ByJeremy Jacquot
on

Among the many conservative think tanks faithfully pushing the skeptic message in Washington, D.C., few are as prominent—or, should I say, infamous—as the Heartland Institute. The “independent” res...

ByJeremy Jacquot
on

us/The Oceans v. EPA
ByJeremy Jacquot
on

“Out of sight, out of mind,” is a pithy saying that aptly sums up the attitude most industrialized countries have toward ocean acidification. While there has been much (justified) hand-wringing abo...
us/The OMB-EPA Kerfuffle That Wasn't
ByJeremy Jacquot
on

Is the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) deliberately trying to sabotage the EPA’s efforts to regulate carbon dioxide emissions? Is Peter Orszag, the agency’s brainy and genial dire...
us/Gore and Inhofe, United at Last

Who can you trust, if not your own advisers? That is the inconvenient question raised by NYT reporter Andrew C. Revkin in a newly published article that reveals the extent to which the coal and oil...
us/Boehner: What's the Big Deal with CO2, Anyways?
ByJeremy Jacquot

us/Parsing Dennis Avery's Other Dubious Claims
ByJeremy Jacquot

Dennis Avery may have done the fact-challenged (yes, again) WaPo columnist George Will one better by actually admitting he’d “misstated” that CO2 levels at Mauna Loa were declining (when they were,...
us/The Tipping Points
ByJeremy Jacquot
on

As the world dithers, climate scientists are peering into their crystal balls to predict when the next shoe will drop. In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science...

us/Hot or Not? Making Sense of Climate Variability
ByJeremy Jacquot
on

To say that climate know-nothings like to pick and choose when it comes to interpreting the science is something of an understatement. “Prominent” – and I use the term loosely here – deniers like D...
us/Skeptics Need to Chill About Global Cooling
ByJeremy Jacquot
on

Like a bad horror movie villain, global cooling is the skeptic meme that just won’t die. The latest “respectable” media figure to perpetrate that myth is Newsweek and The Washington Post columnist ...
us/The Worse Is Yet to Come

Melting ice caps. Crippling droughts. Acidifying oceans. Even to the untrained eye, the trends are becoming starkly clear: Climate change is upon us, and it’s only getting worse. That, in essence, ...

on

Under the terms of a landmark settlement reached last Friday, U.S. financing agencies will no longer be able to ignore the climate change repercussions of their actions. Close to seven years and se...
