I recently read a Mallard Fillmore comic strip that bothered me. If you don’t know Mallard Fillmore, he is a conservative duck that makes Rush Limbaugh type outrageous remarks on the comic pages of many newspapers.

Okay- you’re tired of combatting those who say that anthropogenic climate change is a farce. You’ve had it up to your eyeballs trying to get the naysayers past the “Al Gore factor” in the climate debate.

One of the things I detest most about this administration and its Rovian politics (if I believed in Hell, I’d be sure Karl Rove was headed there) is the Orwellian way they twist so many things into their opposites - like the AIDS virus that subverts the very cells in the immune system that are […]

In our never ending search for new fuels to feed our energy addiction, I found an interesting write-up in Technology Review about algae’s growing role in the biofuel arena. It amazes me what researchers can accomplish when they put their mind to it.

How’s this for a depressing start to the day. From Foreign Policy:
As the world’s leaders gather in New York this week to discuss climate change, you’re going to hear a lot of well-intentioned talk about how to stop global warming. From the United Nations, Bill Clinton, and even the Bush administration, you’ll hear about how […]
