…in simple terms that mere mortals can understand. Naturally, this is an oversimplification, and you could nitpick each of these things. What’s critical is that you understand, generally, what the numbers in question mean. From the Guardian: Copenhagen climate summit: Five possible scenarios for our future climate With talks in Copenhagen descending into chaos, the [...]

From Bill McKibben and company: Dear Friends, We need you to read this closely, if you would. You’ve always counted on us to tell the truth, and it would be useless to pretend we’re happy with the outcome of the Copenhagen climate talks. You’ll likely hear the Copenhagen drama spun in a thousand different ways, [...]

My heroes are in tears. http://rozsavage.com/2009/12/17/cop15-t-1-weeping-for-the-world/ http://www.350.org/about/blogs/end-day-update http://tcktcktck.org/stories/campaign-stories/open-letter-president-obama I was so hoping for some kind of grand gesture. And I suppose Obama might yet swoop in and deliver. If so, I’ll even forgive him the finance crisis. But so far? It’s looking like business as usual, where the rich and powerful make theater and the [...]

If you ever plan to get on a plane again, you should read this brilliant piece on TSA security measures: http://bit.ly/1YMiOK # There was ice on the docks this morning. Not just frost; ICE. On docks. BRRR. # Wow, Canada. Monbiot says it's all up to you. http://bit.ly/6h1ygF #cop15 # Powered by Twitter Tools

I can’t imagine what it must be like for Ian Fry to say what he says in front of the world. I wonder if any of our pampered, entitled, mostly-useless elected officials (I will not call them leaders) are listening?

Because I respect your time, I will cut to the chase: Don’t bother. I was really, really eager to read this book. I thought that an explanation of survivorship, from logistical, thoughtful, biochemical and physical standpoints, was going to be really cool. And I still think I’m right.

…if you weren’t paying attention, that is. This is so goofy: Great whites near shore more often than believed For years, humans have thought of great white sharks wandering the sea at random, only occasionally venturing close to shore.
