Citizens Lead for Energy Action Now CLEAN calls for action on energy policy	Joseph Romm	23 Oct 2007	Gristmill
Well, they dropped a bundle to get a quarter-page 'Clean Power' ad in the Washington Post (page A21 today) so the least I can do is give them a shout out here. CLEAN is a 'clean power and coalfield state grassroots organization' circulating a comprehensive national 'call to action' on energy policy that includes: a five-year moratorium on new coal-fired power plants increased investments and tax credits for stepped-up renewable energy production greater empha ...

If you'd like to see a good energy bill this year ... Take action on the energy bill	Joseph Romm	18 Oct 2007	Gristmill
... go here and sign the petition. As we've seen, the bill is hanging by thread with a threatened presidential veto and partisan squabbling in the Senate. Still, if Bush is going to threaten a veto, best to actually make him do so, and force the key issues, fuel economy standards and a renewable portfolio standard, into the public eye and hopefully the presidential campaign. This post was created for ClimateProgress.org, a project of the Center for American P ...

Fast and furious Ted Glick enters Day 17 of climate fast	Glenn Hurowitz	23 Sep 2007	Gristmill
Yesterday I went through a day-long fast for Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, a day of atonement, and the climax of the Days of Awe. We Jews usually start to get hungry by the afternoon. So it's worthwhile to remember that Ted Glick was likely really hungry in Day 18 of his fast to solve the climate crisis, something probably even more important to God than the condition of our souls. Check out this video from Ted on Day 17:

This post is by ClimateProgress guest blogger Bill Becker, Executive Director of the Presidential Climate Action Project. How fearsome must the headlines be about tomorrow before people change their ways today? -- Nancy Gibbs, TIME In Greenland today, the ice is thawing at a pace that is alarming climate scientists. Meanwhile in Washington, D.C., Congress remains frozen on the issue of carbon pricing. And that may be a good thing. Carbon pricing, as most r ...

Fast to stop global warming September 4th event marks new phase in struggle for the planet	Glenn Hurowitz	30 Aug 2007	Gristmill
I'm incredibly excited about the September 4th Climate Emergency Fast being organized by the U.S. Climate Emergency Council and others. I've signed up and hope you will too, by clicking here. In one week, the number of fasters has grown from 395 to 795 and continues to multiply. Everyone I've talked to about it is instantly drawn to it; people seem to instinctively understand that we need to move beyond the polite letter-writing, lobbying, and yes -- blogging -- t ...

Al Gore calls for civil disobedience Against climate polluters	Glenn Hurowitz	16 Aug 2007	Gristmill
From The New York Times's Nicholas Kristof ($ub req'd): I ran into Al Gore at a climate/energy conference this month, and he vibrates with passion about this issue -- recognizing that we should confront mortal threats even when they don't emanate from Al Qaeda. 'We are now treating the Earth's atmosphere as an open sewer,' he said, and (perhaps because my teenage son was beside me) he encouraged young people to engage in peaceful protests to block major new carb ...

YearlyKos: Step It Up 2 The next round of McKibben's campaign	David Roberts	04 Aug 2007	Gristmill
I forgot some of the coolest (and breaking) news! At my panel earlier today, Bill McKibben "pre-announced" something exciting: On Nov. 3, a year before the presidential election, he will be organizing Step It Up 2: Revenge of the Nerds. OK, I made up the title, but not the news. At the first Step It Up, McKibben's Army asked that people gather in places likely to be affected by climate change. For Step It Up 2, people will be gathering in places that comme ...

Global warming and direct action To act not to act	Jon Rynn	26 Jun 2007	Gristmill
I regularly receive a letter from Ted Glick, the coordinator of the U.S. Climate Emergency Council, who recently was arrested for hanging a banner on the NOAA building to protest their mishandling of climate information. He has joined with others in calling for a fast on September 4th: We are calling on thousands of Americans to voluntarily give up food for one day on September 4th, 2007. Other participants will fast even longer beginning on that date, some for weeks. Ou ...
