I highly recommend that you check out the new blog Brave New Science, maintained by a couple of Aussie climate change scientists. While I think the name is a bit of a dud (sorry!), the content is first draw.
I particularly enjoyed this post which picked up on a theme I’ve written about in the past, […]
I know that Barry Obama supports an ETS and is going to Change US politics, but I still didn’t find this post at Marginal Revolution particularly encouraging:
Which states have the highest carbon dioxide emissions?
In millions of metric tons:
Texas: 688
California: 394
Pennsylvania: 275
Ohio: 262
Florida: 256
It won’t take even casual followers of US politics long to work out […]
David Karoly, an ARC Federation Fellow and Professor of Meteorology in the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne, recently published good post on the ABC’s Unleashed blog responding to the recent proliferation of climate change denialist op-eds in the Australian press. Here’s the (excellent) intro:
Science is about developing an understanding of natural […]
Oh yes, I’m loving this…
Larvatus Prodeo recounts Louise Dodson’s account of the Coalition Party Room Meeting on Climate Change in yesterday’s Fin Review:
The party meeting started with the words “climate change is real” being written on the whiteboard. But even this statement could not produce agreement. Backbencher Dennis Jensen said he could not sign up […]
Oh for goodness sake! It genuinely is getting difficult to keep up with the various permutations of the Coalition’s Climate Change policy.
Earlier today, ‘Coalition sources’ were telling The Australian Online that the Climate Change Deniers had been victorious in the Shadow Cabinet and that Brendan Nelson has carried the day”, presumably meaning that Coalition policy […]
Well the word is that the Shadow Cabinet has endorsed a policy of outsourcing Australian Climate Change policy to China.
Sucks to be Malcolm Turnbull at the moment.
So how’s this going to play out beyond the alternative reality that is the Coalition Party room?
Public opinion seems to be broadly in favour of Australia acting now to […]
An annoying feature of the online debate over the science of climate change between the IPCC consensus and the Andrew Bolt led refusniks is the tendency for proponents to talk around each other.
The proposition A-B-C is met with the response X-Y-Z. The original proponent will reply “I never said X-Y-Z” to which the original responder […]
Policy Network has recently launched a new flagship programme in conjunction with the LSE investigating “The Politics of Climate Change”.
This is their objective:
Climate change is now a mainstream political issue. However, as yet there is no substantive framework for policy which offers coherence and consistency as to how national governments should cope with the long-term […]
It looks like Andrew Bolt was right and that the Coalition Party Room is going to have it out over Climate Change policy. Kevin Andrews has gone public arguing for a head in the sand policy and claims he has support from:
“a strong body of opinion in the party room. If a move doesn’t come […]
Andrew Bolt writes today that:
BRENDAN Nelson will next week put his leadership on the line by tackling rival Malcolm Turnbull over global warming.
The Opposition Leader plans to tell his MPs their only hope of winning the next election is to attack the Rudd Government over its emissions trading scheme.
He will ask his party to back […]
