    Cool Green Morning: Friday, November 6

    U.S. fish stocks defecting to Canada? We can just see it now on Lou Dobbs Tonight…but remember where you heard it first — Cool, Green, Morning. Have a great weekend!

    Seems fishy, but overall U.S. water consumption has declined in the past 25 years — despite a growing population and increasing water use. Huh? Tina Casey [...]

    What’s the Role of Science for Advocacy?

    As the “energy sprawl” idea has been discussed and debated in the media, I (one of the paper’s co-authors) have  grown a thick skin against criticism. Perhaps the harshest piece of invective, however, still bothers me: the criticism by Matt Wasson in the Huffington Post.
    The factual criticisms Matt makes aren’t that troublesome to me, and [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Thursday, November 5

    Things are looking up today — climate talks are reportedly going well, America beats the world in geothermal R&D, and great white sharks now have their very own singles bar. Ain’t life Cool?

    How are things in Barcelona (aside from the shocking underperformance of its namesake soccer team this year)? For the climate talks now underway [...]

    From Long Island to the Solomon Islands, Communities Tackle Climate Change

    As UN negotiators from around the world gather in Barcelona this week to continue hammering out a global climate deal, the question of emissions reduction targets has grabbed center stage in the press.
    But even if all countries stopped emitting greenhouse gas pollution today, the impacts of climate change will be felt for years to come.
    We [...]

    Ecotourism: Green Problem or Green Solution?

    Ecotourism is often presented as the savior for wildlife and wild places — providing local communities with financial incentives to preserve nature while also reducing poaching and development pressure.
    But, lately, others question whether rich Westerners jetting around the world really help much at all: They disturb animals, create demands for new development and only employ [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Wednesday, November 4

    This edition of Cool Green Morning is all about bringing people together, like Glenn Beck and PETA, who are bonding over their mutual dislike of Al Gore’s diet.  Or German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who’s encouraging the U.S. to team up with Europe to fight climate change.  Read on for more heart-warming tales of love and [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Tuesday, November 3

    It’s Election Day in the United States — get out and vote! Then immediately get back on your smartphone and check out the hottest in online green this morning — including what might possibly be the best green name ever…

    Mt. Kilimanjaro’s ice cap is disappearing — but is that climate change’s fault? Two research teams [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Monday, November 2

    Orangutan-friendly palm oil sales are on the rise! Yah! Vandals are throwing the community bicycles of Paris into the Seine! Boo! Beware emotional whiplash in this roller-coaster edition of Cool Green Morning — just slip the buckle into the clasp and pull tight across your waist…

    Can long-range climate forecasting get good enough to help us [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Friday, October 30

    What’s more frightening than more Americans getting their news from Jon Stewart than a newspaper? When Jon Stewart says putting giant reflective mirrors into space will slow climate change…and he means it! It’s real scary stuff, kids, so we put it last in this morning’s Coolness to give you a good fright for the weekend! [...]

    Worry About Air Pollution, Not Just Climate Change

    Yes, global warming is a big deal and a big challenge. But sometimes I get so frustrated by conservation and environmental NGO’s for not being able to chew gum and walk at the same time — in other words, for failing to appreciate the real lesson of greenhouse gas emissions.
    The real lesson is there is [...]
