Global warming stopped [insert random number of years] ago is probably the most common and mainstream of all the climate denier arguments out there. It is shallow and wrong and there are many refutations of it out there. I think this video from Skeptical Science is about as clear and…

The Ax Falls, November 20, 2055
A friendly guy took charge of me in the trailer. I stumbled back through the rings of security in a daze and was deposited at the train station like a lost child. I had to wait a…

Apparently being in ConSec means never having to wait for a plane. Carman walked me through a gate and out onto the tarmac. No body scanners, no sniffer bots, no security check of any…

So Tasmania is in the news, which is where I am living (see here for links). The stories are about heat and bush fires. So far, nothing as dramatic as "Black Saturday" four years ago has happened, thank goodness, but conditions are very similar.

I first saw this video at Planet 3.0 a fair while ago and have seen it posted again since. I find it very uplifting despite being a jaded climate blogger of many years. There are many other science-based music videos at www.symphonyofscience.com and I have listened/watch most (all?) of them, but…

Dave Roberts notes the connection between the two right wing reality bubbles of climate change denial and Romney landslide predictions.
