With National Parks Closed, Republicans Move to Sell Public Lands

While everyone is distracted with government shutdowns and whatever the latest celebrity wedding or scandal is, the oil continues to flow into our water, over our land, dark stains on our grandchildren's futures. Dr. Jane Goodall is absolutely right. We are not borrowing the future from our grandchildren (and theirs), we are outright stealing it.

In case you're wondering what we look like now to the rest of the world, read this story from a Dutch writer who was thrown off a train from Montreal to New York at the U.S. border for being suspiciously foreign:
This is what happens when you do the right thing.

We are all one – Namwayut

There is a move afoot in this land, led by Gwawaenuk First Nation Chief Robert Joseph, his daughters Karen and Shelley and others, in an organization called Reconciliation Canada. Working separately from, but in relation to, the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission, their vision is “to promote reconciliation by engaging Canadians in dialogue that revitalizes the relationships between Aboriginal peoples and all Canadians in order to build resilience.” Chief Joseph says “Let’s find a way to belong to this time and place together. Our future and the well-being of all our children, rests with the kind of relationships we build today.”

3. Don't Use the Reply Function. The new Disqus "nests" (or indents) comment replies rather than sending replies down to the bottom of the page. Nested comments can be difficult to navigate for people with visual processing disorders and makes moderation more difficult. For that reason, in order to maintain flat threads, we ask that people avoid using the reply function. It'll probably take some getting used to, and we'll be issuing reminders as needed.
Yes, we have Disqus here - usually only used/evaded by spambots. It's interesting an active comment site decided to disregard this function,which I expect was designed to ease following one's own comments and maintain individual internal discussion threads.   )

Chapter 7 ("Clouds and Aerosols") directly references ~1050 publications. I think you'll find all aspects of cloud feedback covered, even if we still don't have precise estimates of net feedback and, more importantly, changes in feedback as warming continues. There's evidence (Fasullo & Trenberth 2013) that subtropical cloudiness will subside as the observed changes to Hadley circulation continue.

The IPCC: Yowling Cat in a Tree

I’ve been interviewed regarding the UN climate panel’s recent announcement. In my view, its future is bleak.

Why the IPCC Meeting Isn’t Being Televised

Scientific truth isn’t negotiated in the dead of night behind closed doors.

‘Nature’ Spin Elevates Third-Tier IPCC Official to Chair

With attention focused on the IPCC’s imminent Working Group 1 report, a prestigious science journal has published a misleadingly-headlined profile of Working Group 3 co-chair, Ottmar Edenhofer.

What Would a Bad Job Look Like?

A US official recently called Rajendra Pachauri’s leadership of the world’s most important climate body ‘extraordinary.’ But ‘inadequate’ and ‘inexcusable’ are more appropriate.

The IPCC Chairman’s Fake Second PhD

Rajendra Pachauri holds only one PhD – not two, as his official IPCC bio claims.

The UN’s Pretend Climate Scientists

A UN press release falsely describes those attending an IPCC meeting as “climate scientists,” In fact, these people are policy wonks, economists, political scientists, and UN advisors.

The IPCC: Politicizing Science Since 1988

If the IPCC was a scientific body, the science section of its upcoming report would be summarized by scientists and that would be the end of the matter. Instead, the science summary will be the battleground at a 4-day political gathering.

Back to the Future: Paradise Lost, or Paradise Regained?

If a warmer, more CO2-rich world would be hell in the future, it logically must have been hell in the past, too, when global temperatures were much warmer and carbon dioxide levels much higher.  Paleoclimatologists tell a different story. They more often see our earlier planet as a “paradise,” even “paradise lost.”

In fact, “paradise lost” is the subtitle of a 1994 book on our planet 33 million years ago by veteran paleo-climatologist Donald R. Prothero—The Eocene-Oligocene Transition: Paradise Lost. The Eocene (55-33 million years ago) began what is sometimes called the Golden Age of Mammals. This geological age was at least 10°C warmer than today, free of ice caps, and with CO2 levels, Prothero suggests, of up to 3,000 parts per million, which is almost eight times today’s level of about 400 ppm. Yet Prothero calls the Eocene a “lush, tropical world.”[8]
At the end of the still very warm Oligocene (33-23 mya), Prothero puts CO2 levels at 1,600 ppm, or four times today’s levels. For Prothero, the boundary between the Eocene and Oligocene was “paradise lost” because it was then, about 33 million years ago, that the planet began its slide from a “lush, tropical world” into its current ice age conditions (see Figure 1), with glaciations every 85,000 years interspersed with brief, 15,000-year warm interglacials.

In fact, the planet is currently its coldest in almost 300 million years.

The state chapter of the Sierra Club, which has been trying to block the plant, says public opinion is shifting in the club's favor."When it first came out, it was the greatest thing since sliced bread," says Louie Miller , state director of the environmental group. "Now everyone has turned against it."





Meanwhile, and while the BP trial continues in New Orleans, Gulf Coast residents are left wondering if BP will ever be held responsible for the damage done to their fisheries, ecosystems and livelihoods, wait to see if their bodies will ever recover from an assault of BP's oil and dispersants, and wonder if anyone will ever - in the words of Purple Strategies' spin writers, found in the mouth of former BP President Tony Hayward - "make it right."
Take a look at the LNG export facilities on the Gulf Coast -



"What we continue to learn from these over flights is that the Gulf carries on as the "energy sacrifice zone" for the rest of the United States. The communities that live, work, and recreate in the Gulf region deserve much better from both industry and our government."
ahhh...the right honorables are giving us another "speech" from the throne. save it mr harper

This was sent to me by a friend.
I have worked in the government on and off for 40 years. During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest request takes months, not days or hours.

In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, hundreds of miles of barricades and professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying this park, facility, etc., with custom logos, closed due to government shutdown.

There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years. These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, and government contracts were awarded. The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or freight companies.

This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 month ago. Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process. There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House.

This is the most amazingly crazy interview I have EVER heard. The only way I can tie this into the Harper regime is that it is more bullying. Please listen. I have to get my chin off the floor now.
