| Independence Day may be the best day to ask ourselves -- what is the greatest preventable threat to Americans' life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness (LLPH). The answer is simple: human-caused global warming. Certainly there are other major threats to LLPH, the gravest of which is probably terrorists using weapons of mass destruction, particularly nuclear weapon, in this country. Between Homeland Security and the Pentagon, we spend billions of dollars every m ... |

| It's been a hectic few months in the climate/energy world, so I've got a lot of leftover bits and pieces waiting for attention. As in ... about 35 open tabs in my browser. The last thing I want when I get back from the holidays is a browser full of guilt, so I'm dumping 'em. Also, I found a draft of a link post from several weeks ago that I forgot to put up. So what you get today is a Double Ultra Mega Link Dump. Posting will be light for a while, so I hope this tide ... |

Well, the trees in question might well have been of the Christmas variety -- because, of course, the U.S. delegation needed to return home in time to string up the traditional holiday lights. You heard it here first. Lite brite, in Seattle. Photo: Nathan James. ... |

Earth Day Turns 30

Global Citizen |
| If, in the 30 Earth Day celebrations we have held since 1970, the human population and economy have become any more respectful of the Earth, the Earth hasn't noticed. The planet is not impressed by fancy speeches. Leonardo DiCaprio interviewing Bill Clinton about global warming is not an Earth-shaking event. The Earth has no way of registering good intentions or future inventions or high hopes. It doesn't even pay attention to dollars, which a ... |
