Skeptical climate-change documentary found unfair, but not misleading |

News |
| Posted at 10:38 AM on 22 Jul 2008 A British documentary that declared climate change to be a willful and conspiratorial hoax broke impartiality rules and misrepresented the views of some participants, British broadcasting regulator Ofcom said Monday. The not-so-subtly named The Great Global Warming Swindle, which aired on Britain's Channel 4 in March 2007, said at one point in its narration, "Everywher ... |

NF3 panic unjustified, not as bad as Drudge report says
Plasma TVs and solar cells not so bad after all |
Gar Lipow |
15 Jul 2008 |
Gristmill |
| A recent Grist article shared a bit in some of the panic about NF3 and plasma TVs. If all the NF3 manufactured were released, it warns, it would have a warming effect equivalent to that of Austria. It turns out that is mighty big 'if,' one that Eli Rabett manages to blast into smithereens. To begin with, most uses of NF3 are consumptive -- etching and so on -- whereby NF3 becomes something much less greenhouse intensive. The vast majority of NF3 produced is destroy ... |

| "Vast Wasteland" a Whole New Meaning Chemical in flat-screen TVs is worsening climate change Posted at 2:27 PM on 04 Jul 2008 If you didn't feel guilty about your TV habits already, here's a new reason: a chemical used in making flat-screen televisions has been found to be a potent greenhouse gas, 17,000 times stronger than carbon dioxide. In a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, atmospheric chemist Michael Prather called nitrogen trifluoride, or NF3, & ... |

Time to focus on tax credits, not Lieberman-Warner |

| I love House. Not the House of Representatives, but the TV show. Everybody loves to see people with seemingly inexplicable symptoms saved from sure death. No doubt that explains the fascination with the Lieberman-Warner bill. But people ... I've been trying to be gentle about this ... it's dead. Sure, like Amber on the season finale [spoiler alert!] L-W can be briefly revived so we can say goodbye to it forever, but that is really just a soap opera gimmick. We do ... |

U.S. fails to be climate leader because of war, says Obama |

| Posted at 7:53 AM on 09 May 2008 The war in Iraq is one reason the U.S. is such an environmental laggard, Barack Obama said in a CNN interview Thursday. "I think the way we have run this war in Iraq has ... led us to ignore the critical needs for us to focus on a sound energy policy in this country," Obama told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "It has left us unable to lead on critical global issues like global warming. ... |

| For people involved in the TV business, I imagine watching The Wire -- David Simon's novelistic depiction of big-city dysfunction on HBO -- generates mixed feelings. On one hand: Damn that's good. On the other: Damn. That's really good. It makes what once seemed excellent appear merely adequate; what was once adequate now worthless. It has transcended its medium and made those still laboring within its received limitations seem ... diminished. That's how I feel when ... |

| If you read Juliet Eilperin's great rundown in the Washington Post, you know that today marks the launch of a massive PR effort from Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection. Gore has concluded that U.S. politicians will continue to be timid on climate change until the public demands otherwise. "The simple algorithm is this: It's important to change the light bulbs, but it's much more important to change the laws," he said. "The options available to ... |

Instead, they offer us John Coleman's Medienkritik: Coleman told an audience at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 3 in New York that he is highly critical of global warming alarmism.

But there was no escaping the green message, and it was ... what's the word? ... artificial and painful and forced.
