Did spying take Copenhagen from Hopenhagen to Brokenhagen?

To those interested in trying to stop ? or at least slow down ? climate change, the 2009 Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen, which was dubbed ?Hopenhagen? before it began, is remembered today as ?Brokenhagen.? The summit?s failure to come to any kind of agreement was a key factor in pushing climate change activists away from working within governmental channels and towards direct action fights, like Keystone.Why did Brokenhagen happen? Was it ju ...

Why President Obama?s Natural Gas ?Bridge? May Be On The Verge Of Collapse

CREDIT: APIn his State of the Union Speech Tuesday night, President Obama returned to a familiar dual theme: trying to cut America?s carbon emissions while at the same time pursuing an ?all of the above? energy strategy. A key part of Obama?s attempt to harmonize those two goals is natural gas.If extracted safely, it?s the bridge fuel that can power our economy with less of the carbon pollution that causes climate change. Businesses plan to inves ...

Tinfoiled again: Why Donald Trump?s climate conspiracy theory doesn?t hold up

When chilling cold first descended in early January, we had an occasion to correct Donald Trump on climate science. To do so, we simply explained that the widely recognized phenomenon known as winter doesn?t refute global warming, especially since winter is inherently limited to one hemisphere. (In a widely lampooned tweet, Trump had cited ?record low temps? in arguing that ?this very expensive GLOBAL WARMING bullshit has got to stop.?)Alas, Trum ...
