| Two views on climate change at Edge.org: Dyson vs. Anderson Mark Frauenfelder:
New Scientist reports that squirrels have evolved an interesting defense against rattlesnakes -- tails that heat up.
The ground squirrel heats up its tail then waves it in the snake's face - a form of harassment that confuses the rattler, which has an infrared sensing organ for detecting small mammals.

What a luxury ski resort is doing to solve climate change I'm sitting in the lobby of the Little Nell with Auden Schendler. This is a fancy pants, 92-room spa and resort in Aspen that routinely hosts world leaders and celebrities in rooms that cost upwards of $760 a night. The Nell is a major energy spender — in 2008, it used 25,556 MMBTU of natural gas and 3,269,967kWh of electricity, generating 4,245 tons of CO2 emissions (the average house gener [..] |

| Before the election, consider the climate Republicans are planning a witch-hunt on climate scientists, as well as efforts to take away EPA's mandate to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. Seems like a good time as any to link to NASA's must-read comprehensive overview of the facts and evidence of climate change. Pretending all this evidence is part of a global socialist conspiracy to raise taxes is not going to make it go away.... [..] |

| Where climate myths come from Has Earth been getting cooler since 1998? Aren't all the planets in our solar system heating up because the sun is getting hotter? Both questions are heavily circulated on the Internet. And the answer to both is, "No." But these ideas came from somewhere. People didn't just make them up out of whole cloth. In this video, Peter Hadfield—a science journalist who's worked for New Scientist and [..] |

Independent review of climate science tells us nothing we didn't already know I've been traveling the last couple of days, so this may be a bit old, but I wanted to do a quick update on "What's Up With Inaccuracies in the IPCC Report?" When we last left our intrepid international panel of scientists, they were fending off criticism over mistakes found in the 2007 Working Group II report, which summarizes the impacts of climate change. Specifically, the IPCC predicted Himala [..] |
