[...] The carbon emission toll generated by a single page-view of Tree Hugger. Extrapolating that figure against the page views Perez Hilton gets makes me realise that he is, indeed, going to be the death of us all. (Cool Green Science.) [...]

“Should climate change be considered a risk?”

You wouldn’t build a building without considering how weather may pose a risk to its design. Climate change poses a threat to many of the systems our world built around, and should be considered in many future decisions going forward

We musn’t let Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring become a reality. When I hear about crops seeds being “round up ready” I cringe. Are we crazy?! Our wildlife is collapsing. Humans will be next, but until then many have their heads firmly planted in the, um, sand.

Comment on What Should We Call What Nature Provides Us? by Michelle McClure

Sorry but we dont want to reach the people who care, right? They are already involved. It is the people who don’t care we are trying to reach and unless it serves them they won’t.

Nature Provides Humanity, Inspiration, and …- the question was “What should we call what nature provides us?” If the idea is to reach all people big and small I believe blunt and simple to leave the reader of such a message to quickly understand what it is you want them to understand. By saying, “and…” it leaves the reader of the message to question themselves, what else does nature provide? They may relate what nature provides for themselves satisfying the greedy nature of the issue and yet getting the response to at least consider nature. Hopefully!

Comment on Climate Change Debates? There’s an App for That! by Environmental Writing Guy

This is a neat idea, but I believe that arguing with global warming naysayers is actually a waste of time. It’s better to put your time and effort into trying to persuade the undecided or uninvolved — people who are open to the idea but doubtful about their own ability to make a difference.

Comment on Has ‘Climategate’ Affected Your Trust in Science? by Michael Melius

Michael Melius — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 16:30:55 +0000

My confidence in science as a whole remains strong. Individual scientists and their claims always should be doubted, though–that just makes good science.

For example, the statement by Robert McDonald on p. 11 of the Spring 2010 issue of “Nature Conservancy”: “Climate change will have a much bigger impact on wildlife than anything outlined in this report.”

What is the basis for that prediction?

From here in the Great Plains, it seems like the land/habitat impacts of the “devils we know”, biofuels and wind farms, could be worse than the devil we don’t know, climate change.

Comment on Window Glass: Silent Bird Killer? by Ken Molinkiewicz

I remember some office windows that had hawk decals on them that I think were placed there to cause birds to fly the other way and avoid a collision with the window.
