   How comeObama hasn't presented his plan to stop and reverse the wildfire disaster in our forests, then??
   Ahhhh, I see. He doesn't HAVE a plan or even an inkling of this current disaster. Or will he use the failed Bush plan? It seems that he will go with the status quo of letting our forests burn.....and even helping wildfires to grow....and incinerate......and destroy....and kill our forests.
   Burn the forests to save them?!?! Nice Vietnam rhetoric! Nice massive GHG spewage!! Endangered species reductions? Loss of water quality!! Foul smoky air!!
   Smart! Really REALLY smart!

   A new day is surely dawning...........Dear Joe Romm,
   This thread is a wonderfully timely and perspicacious idea.  Thanks for all you are doing to protect biodiversity from mass extinction, to preserve Earth's body from wanton dissipation, to halt relentless degradation of the environment and, with a bit of luck and a great deal of work, to save the family of humanity from reckless endangerment as well as to spare the human species from an even worse threat.
   Make no mistake, your blogging is making a positive difference. Even though the 'talking heads' in the mainstream media, the ones who are owned by economic powerbrokers and their bought-and-paid-for politicians, wish all of us would go away, we need to keep going.
   Sincerely yours,
   Steve

   A New Day For Statist Academia
   
   The thing is, the really smart people left the cloister a long time ago.
   More welfare, this time for college professors...and IPCC "scientists" -- those on the payroll who stayed behind.

   Forest Future?Our new forests?
   click if you dare
   Is this what you want to pass on to your kids?!? This is an example of a forest that burned at high intensity, and then was salvage logged.
   Quite a grim future, indeed!

   Look, hereThe topic is about science, or the lack of it in government. You can ban me but that won't stop scientific idiocy in politics.
   Bye!

   Reality, STILL has a liberal biasThe potential of solar, wind and geothermal power still exceeds all known reserves of fossil fuels. Conservation of resources is still more profitable to all sectors of the society than waste. Peace conserves resources that war destroys.
   Maintaining the health of the populace produces more well being than allowing sickness to go untreated. It also provides health care at less cost overall. A  drug addict with a job is more productive than one in prison; and more likely to go through rehab.
   Who knew? Oh, we did. It appears that the Republican leadership did also because given that the results of science continue to favor "Liberals" they chose to discredit scientific method in it's entirety.
   A scientifically literate president will be a welcome change.
   p.s.-Nice to seem some action on the trolls.
