After 30 Years, Al Gore Still Advocates A Carbon Tax
Gore Derangement Syndrome Lives — But Not Here
The inimitable Dave Roberts of Grist had a good interview with Al Gore this month. The Climate Reality founder discusses "carbon taxes, natural gas, and the 'morally wrong' Keystone pipeline."
Since a carbon price is the sine qua non of reality-based climate policy, and Gore has been way, way ahead of the curve, I'll excerpt that portion. At the end, I'll also comment on Grist's comment policy and Gore Derangement Syndrome.
Q. Did you hear [White House press secretary] Jay Carney this morning?
A. No, God help us, what'd he say?
Q. He said, "We would never propose a carbon tax, and have no intention of proposing one."
A. I don't think that comes as a big surprise to anyone. Those of us that hold out some hope that we will find a way to get a price on carbon, and know there are multiple ways to do it, have felt that the convergence of the fiscal cliff and the climate cliff could produce some surprising results. And there have been some private comments by some Republicans to that effect. But certainly that's something you wouldn't wanna bet money on in Vegas.
Q. What do you think of this idea of a revenue-neutral carbon tax?
A. I have proposed a revenue-neutral carbon tax for a long time, 30 years. I proposed it in my first book, Earth in the Balance.
I supported cap-and-trade because a lot of folks felt that it offered the opportunity for bipartisan consensus. And by the way, it may yet gain altitude globally — China, as you know, is implementing it in five provinces and two cities. They have indicated that they intend to use these pilots as a model for the nationwide program. Many are skeptical, but they often do follow through with what they say they're going to do. And [cap-and-trade] just started in California yesterday. Australia is now linking theirs to the E.U. system. South Korea's moving, British Columbia, Quebec — there are a lot of parallel developments that could converge, particularly if China does follow through. It's premature to write [cap-and-trade] off, even thought it's has been demonized and so many people are afraid to talk about it.
But from the very beginning, I preferred a carbon tax. (And by the way, I'd be in favor of both; I don't think they're inconsistent at all.) And yet, the political environment in the U.S. has not changed to the point where it's something you'd wanna bet on. But look, we've got to solve this. It's an irresistible force meeting an immovable object, and something's gotta give. I have enough faith in humanity to believe, against a lot of evidence, that we're going to solve this.
Q. Does this idea of a carbon/income tax swap make you nervous? The income tax is one of the only places we have progressivity in the U.S. tax code.
A. I have not proposed doing it on the income tax, I have proposed doing it on the payroll tax. I am also friendly to the notion of a rebate scheme, though I doubt they'll do that. It needs to be progressive — the rising inequality in the country is too serious to run the risk of worsening that.
Q.Do you worry that you getting out in front of this might brand it in a certain way —
A. Well, they come after anybody who speaks up in favor of doing something on climate. It's not going to surprise any of them that I'm in favor of it. I've said it on practically a daily basis for years and years.
Gore's last answer is dead on. The anti-science crowd demonizes all climate hawks. That is hardly a reason for silence by any hawk on any aspect of climate science, solutions, or policy — quite the reverse. Certainly the public opinion data makes clear that Nobel laureate did not polarize the climate debate — and every leading social scientists in the field I've spoken to agrees (see "Public Opinion Study Debunks Claim Al Gore Polarized the Climate Debate").
Despite the fact that the science continues to support a worse-case analysis than the one Gore advanced in An Inconvenient Truth, the vitriol against him continues to this day, so much so it has its own label "Gore Derangement Syndrome."
And if you want to see an epidemic of GDS, just go to the comments section of the Grist interview — but put on your head vise first. That may be the best argument I've seen in a while for moderating comments, which the overwhelming majority of blogs do. I'm a huge fan of Grist's — they reprint Climate Progress pieces and we reprint theirs — but I'd urge them to at least put an intern on that job. What really is the point of a comments section if it can be overwhelmed by those spreading disinformation and/or Gore Derangement Syndrome?

I agree with you, Joe, that there are good reasons for moderating comments. But I feel that the moderation here goes too far and stifles a lot of meaningful criticism and dissent. What's the point of having a comment section full of approving comments? If you want the comments to produce a healthy dialogue, I believe you need to loosen your rules a bit and be better about engaging critics. Just my opinion.
Nice comment on the comments section. I can't believe that so many sites let their comments area get overrun by disinformers. It's like selling fruits & vegetables and letting anyone come along and slop dog poop on top.
Clinton made the Right crazy because they thought he was an apostate- easy talking Southern guys are usually on their team. They hate Obama because he remains calm and conciliatory in the face of their redfaced rage.
Right wing hatred of Gore takes it to another level, though. There is something about a man who is both rational and passionate that sends them into blubbering la la land. It's quite a sight to behold, and does not lead to optimism about the awakening of our Red state body politic.
Al Gore is a true Hero and Patriot, because his goal is to save the land we call our home.
I commented on a recent GSHP article (Chris Williamson, HeatSprings) -with respectful, factual information that pointed out some deficiencies with GSHP – it was moderated in (approved) – then it was moderated out (disappeared).
I like the content of this blog, but am frustrated that constructive comments are nuked, with no explanation.
"We are not red states and blue states, but the United States." ~POTUS
An Obama-ism with which I disagree. We are like two countries, and will remain so until some time after the MSM is fixed and the Republican Party departs from the insane asylum.
Thank you. I was feeling persecuted. In truth I was going to boycott this site after my comment was nuked AND after my request for an explanation was ignored.
But the content is too good to not read!
I think I have things to contribute via comments as well.
Dan, the absence of denialist trolls is a God-send. All MSM blogs that I know of are farragoes of idiocy and mendacity. It is absolutely plain that the powers-that-be prefer it that way. Although there is a hideous fascination in seeing, over and over again, just what depths the Right can sink to, after a while it is dispiriting, lowering one's estimation of humanity, even though we know that the denialist buffoons are, at last, losing the fight for the public's opinion.
It's no accident. The Rightwing MSM preferences Rightists and censors the rest on all subjects, out of ideological zealotry. Even the supposedly 'liberal' 'The Guardian' has allowed its CiF blogs to become ludicrous and detestable.
I have *two* big ifs –
if the Carbon tax is passed and
if the technology is proven,
can we use the funds from carbon tax to build a lot of these?
Oh, and one more thing… here's this Climate Change meme going on in G+, check it out!!!
"Obama is probably the first person ever to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize largely for the simple achievement of not having been the guy who had the job before him."
(Quote from David Rothkopf, CEO and editor-at-large of the FP Group, publishers of Foreign Policy Magazine and a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace)
Though toiling like a Welsh "coal" miner, this is the 1st VP Al Gore article that I have seen in 10 years. I have primarily seen Mr. Gore defined in cartoons, 30 Rock, and in deniers' jokes which serve as the gatekeepers of who can be in the club of wealth in this country.
Media (ex; newspapers and magazines) have always heavily moderated their reader comments, usually termed letters-to-the-editor. And these heavily moderated sections have always been popular things to read because of that very fact.
I appreciate that old-school attitude and would rather have some of my comments tossed than have to read the mindless message-bot, talking point spew of the un-moderated sites.
Oh, yeah…and Gore is total hero. He will be remembered by history as far more "presidential" than the man the supreme court appointed instead.
I'm with Mulga on this. I follow some blogs like Dot Earth where a ridiculous amount of electronic "ink" —and readers' time— is wasted in the comment section by various denialists repeating the same inanities over and over.
"The planet isn't warming." "Ice growth in the Antarctic balances Ice loss the Arctic." "Global warming was invented by climate scientists so they could get research grants." The crap they make up is endless.
Here on CP I feel like I can engage in dialogues with others who know quite a bit about the climate picture and can share information, ideas and strategies, not inanities and insults.
I agree – I come here to read about the science and politics and read intelligent comments by people who understand reality. Newspapers' comments sections on climate articles (and Grist's apparently!) attract the denialists like a pack of hyenas to a carcass, which means you have to wade through loads of inane drivel and often end up missing the gems.
Thanks. It is frustrating when your not immoderate comment languishes in 'moderation' for 24-48 hours, by which time the caravan has moved on, ME
I know that Gore would have been a less inspiring President that one imagines, because he would have had to deal with the 'Secret Team' who really run the USA and the planet and he's steeped enough in the DC culture to know what really happened to the Kennedys, but he still impresses. To see an politician who appears lucid, intelligent, knowledgeable and quite properly concerned over ecological disaster these days is a rare sight indeed. A veritable unicorn. He really should have a go in 2016, for a third party if necessary.
Add the word 'global'.
Climate Refugees of Bangladesh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocy0ujUb5Dk
It has begun Climate Change is here and soon it will be called Climate Chaos!
I don't normally agree with censorship. But I will make an exception for Climate Progress. This place feels like a haven from all the insanity, ignorance and BS out there. It's such a breath of fresh air. I agree with Mulga – keep the trolls/deniers out of here. Some constructive criticism is fine, of course, but outright denial of global warming has no place here.
See david roberts excellent video:
Obama pushes tax agenda, Congress in stand-off http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/28/us-usa-fiscal-idUSBRE8A80WV20121128
Thanks god! I just read at Time that AGW is a problem for tomorrow
(Sad that Time still believes this horsepuckey)
Those gizmos depend on storing carbon in rock formations, also known as carbon sequestration. To work, the stuff has to stay there not just today, not just next week, but forever.
Good News! We already have a proven technology that does this. It is called
Also known as: do not dig coal, do not frack gas, do not drill oil.
Gore and Carter should go down in history (if there is any future to write it) as the great wise men whose planet-saving messages were shut down by the ignorant and avaricious (and by some other unrelated circumstances, in Carter's case).
They were ready to lead. It was Americans, swayed by lie-machines of the death-fuel industries, who failed to follow, a failure our children will pay for dearly.

Its my fault – clogging up the filters like so many jellyfish at the power plants freshwater intake.
Seriously, I would be interested in seeing a
Meet-The-Team post or vid. Readers probably have no idea just how much work goes into producing this excellent resource.
When I said
(Sad that Time still believes this horsepuckey)
I was not very clear. I meant it is sad they apparently think it is not a problem that is already with us here today.
Thanks Joe for that.
I didn't like to waste your valuable time over an odd comment of mine which gets stuck in moderation, can this be due to some embedded links?
I have a comment stuck here and would like to know if my idea expressed there has any legs.
I value this blog for the mix of science and policy that is found here, the comments section always provides much food for thought with excellent links to more material which I can then pass around to increase readership.
Thanks for all you hard work, and courage.
Could climate change due to burning fossil fuels be the reason for the Great Silence?
I agree with Mulga and the responses above. The absence of denier comments is a good thing about this site. But that's not what I meant by "meaningful criticism and dissent." Especially on posts relating to politics, I think the comments on this site often suffer from a group-think mentality, and comments that challenge that political consensus are often removed by moderation, which I think is damaging to everyone. I am glad to hear Joe say he's loosened his rules in that regard.
That is good to hear, Joe. Is your policy published somewhere so we can all better understand what the limits are?
In my experience posting here, Joe has accepted every one of my comments that could be called criticism, and I see well-founded counterpoint views from others as well.
The Climate Progress comment thread does us a great service by engaging us in constructive exercise, while not getting us stuck in the verbal equivalent of infantry-mud! Thanks to Joe!
Some of mine have hung fire for 24 to 48 hours, like ME's experience.
Reworking a comment using Preview seems to kick up the likelihood of getting caught in the spam filter, but that might just be coincidence.
My comments have not even shown up on this site for months. Not even in moderation. I have sent emails but none have ever been responded to. I still come here to read the articles but I now spend much less time at it.
Wow, now I'm getting encouraged. That is the frist time since perhaps last spring that a comment of mine has appeared on this site. Sure it is in moderation but it is showing up. I'm am a proud climate alarmist and my only fault is I am sometimes too politically controversial for some. I will try to keep it civil.
M Tucker, I seem to have been sucked into the same spam-folder black hole for the last few months. Good to see you back, and to be back myself.
Blog moderation is NOT censorship. Joe is not the government. People are as free to speak as ever.
But this is Joe's house.
I approve of the moderation here, even though I've been blocked a couple times!
It seems that very few people remember Jimmie
Carter's telling of truth to the American people four months after his inauguration. In April of 1977 he gave what has come to be known as the "moral equivalent of war speech" in which he said every effort must be made to end U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
It was a brave thing to do and cost him any chance at re-election. Americans (I wish I could be more proud of my countrymen but we are an ignorant nation) chose to replace Carter with an good-looking actor who told them not to worry, turn up their thermostats, and buy a bigger car because, "It's morning in America!"
Many of the Roads to Perdition begin with Ronald Reagan, that 'hero' of the deranged Right.

Humble Beginnings.
Handicap accessible with a helper.
Dedicated to my ancestral cousins, those that had the 'Pioneer Spirit' when they settled and prospered in what became Vinton County, Ohio.
Born in Washington County Pennsylvania in 1847, Samuel Brady Nixon finished life in Vinton County Ohio on April 28, 1914.
One son, Francis 'Frank' Anthony Nixon, was not content with the simple life presented in a farming community, he found himself in Columbus as a streetcar conductor before heading westward to California after the turn of the 20th century.
By June 1908, Frank met and married another Midwest transplant from Indiana named Hannah Milhous, their son Richard, born in 1913, became one of the most powerful men of the world when he entered politics and later became President of the United States in 1968.
The President's Great Grandfather, George Nixon III, was killed at Gettysburg and is buried in that National Cemetery. I am a 5th generation descendant of George's half-sister Elizabeth Jane Nixon Stevens, of nearby Elk Township. You can visit her grave when I post Little Drummer boy in a few weeks.
To find President Nixons humble beginnings, locate the grave of Samuel B. Nixon in Mt. Pleasant cemetery on the Vinton-Hocking county line on the western edge of Mt Pleasant, Ohio. New Mt Pleasant, as it was called when first settled, is located on a hill top divided by route 93 between Logan and McArthur.
Once in the cemetery, turn into the church drive and proceed up and over the hill and park near the bottom of the drive. Samuels grave is near a group of cedar trees at the end of the row nearest the county road. At a bearing of 150 degrees from the top of his stone, walk up the hill to the Dr. Swepston family plot located inside a small sandstone curb. Find your box between a daughter and the cut sandstone curb. Note that this girl died on the exact date as Samuel, only several decades earlier.

I suggest the final Seattle show ever for USS Horsewhip - a band once called "the carriers of Seattle's straight-up rock torch" in the pages of this very publication.
The Ruby Doe headline. Minnesota's Blind Shake open. At the Funhouse, I think.
I saw Paul Simon on Saturday Night Live recently and was impressed. There was one lyric where he says "Anyone care what I say? No!" and he delivered it with this fluid and groovy head nod that was the first genuinely funky thing I've ever seen him do. Also, the session guitar player he played with was an awesome, Adrian Belew-style stunt guitarist.
'Not bad' is not worth $30-60 for a ticket.
Anyone who won't spend $60 for a concert every once in a while simply doesn't know how to live.
C+ troll: solid effort but just way too predictable.

Nas speaks on his July release Life Is Good, explaining that it is a "complete piece of work". He reveals that producer Salaam Remi compares the album to both Amy Winehouse's Back To Black and The Fugees The Score, both of which he had a hand in producing.

I feel like I've heard Nas say this about his last three LPs, which I do like overall but definitely didn't live up to the claim. Hope he's right, absolutely nothing wrong with a dope Nas album.

Ramón Casas had already practised the representation of crowd scenes in the 1880s, in works like Entrada a la plaza de toros de Madrid (Entrance to the Madrid Bullring) and Las regattas (Regattas). After a period dominated by his portrait and nude paintings, he returned to the subject of crowd scenes, among which Garrote vil (Garrotte) holds a preeminent position. Casas himself was present at the scene of this execution in Barcelona in 1893, but when he turned it into a painting, rather than dwell on the morbid aspects inherent in the theme, he emphasized the journalistic reportage side of the event.
Casas did two preparatory studies for this work, in which the industrial chimneys of Barcelona can be seen in the background. The main motif is the crowd, who are depicted from a raised viewpoint, gathered around the scaffold, on which stand the executioner, the condemned man and the priests. Also present are the Cofrades de la Sangre (the Confraternity of the Blood of Christ) in their characteristic pointed hoods. Between the condemned man and the waiting crowd, Casas leaves an empty space, which adds to the drama and tension hanging over the scene's main group.

The fact that the people voters tasked with making the tough decisions are so afraid of losing their jobs that they would put the desires of a fringe "no new taxes" group ahead of the needs of their constituents suggests that the real problem here is not road or education funding but a complete and total failure of leadership.
What can we do to revitalize the smaller cities and towns in America, and give Americans a choice about what type of place they can call home? This is not the first time in American history we have had a problem with parts of the country being left behind. We should revisit some of the policies that worked before.
The world needs to put the brakes on climate change. But any plan to tackle climate change can't sacrifice economic growth if we hope to end extreme poverty, reduce inequality, and ensure that poor people gain access to energy. We need to decouple growth from carbon emissions. Here are five ways the world can shift to a low-carbon growth path.
SAN FRANCISCO -- To overcome the drag on growth of an aging world, we need to be smarter and more effective in everything that we do. We don't need to reinvent the wheel -- just by adopting best practices that already exist will get us most of the way to where we need to be. Fully embracing new technologies will do the rest.
The federal budget is a reflection of our nation's priorities. As the budget debate heats up in Washington, Congress must choose between investing in a safe and economically secure America, or siding with special interests and continuing to spend billions on wasteful programs that military leaders do not even want.
A strangely popular proposal would give companies a temporary tax holiday, letting corporations "repatriate" their money at an extremely low tax rate, thereby encouraging more corporate tax dodging in the future. You'd think that common sense and strong opposition would be enough to kill a bad policy. Not in Washington, D.C., apparently.
Imagine life without running water. Imagine the ordeal of having to find water not only to stay hydrated but also to bathe, clean, and cook. Imagine the challenge of caring for infants, the sick, or the elderly when the tap runs dry. Over the past year, hundreds of thousands of Americans have had to live out this nightmare.

****HOME STREET HOME - I've been working on this for years now ( read below) and it's finally coming Out Feb. 10th - HOME STREET HOME - new musical by Fat Mike of NOFX -
Punk icon Fat Mike (NOFX) announced today that Home Street Home, a new punk-rock musical concept album will be released on February 10, 2015 through Fat Wreck Chords in advance of a theatrical production. Home Street Home tells a story of survival and love among runaway teenagers living on the streets, and features music by Fat Mike with lyrics by Fat Mike, Jeff Marx (Tony® Award winner,Avenue Q) and Soma Snakeoil (AVN Award winning writer/director). The theatrical production of Home Street Home will be directed by LA Stage Ovation Award winnerRichard Israel.
The studio album features performances by Fat Mike and NOFX, and sees the play's characters inhabited by a wide roster of vocalists includingFrank Turner, Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba, Tony Award winner Lena Hall (Hedwig and the Angry Inch), Bad Cop/Bad Cop's Stacey Dee, the late Tony Sly of No Use For A Name, and Dance Hall Crashers' Karina Denike. Members of Descendents, Lagwagon, Old Man Markley, Mad Caddies, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, The Aggrolites, The Living End, The Real McKenzies, and RKL also play on many of the tracks. The Home Street Homeconcept album includes a portion of the songs that will ultimately comprise the full score of the new musical.
Based on true stories of the authors' experiences, the story of Home Street Home revolves around Sue, a 16-year old runaway who plunges headfirst into the deviant subculture and alternative lifestyle of the streets. After being adopted into a tribe of homeless teens, Sue finds empowerment and acceptance from her new chosen family.
Fat Mike said, "Ever since I saw Rocky Horror when I was 8, I've been intrigued by musicals. Well, not all musicals, just the ones that break the mold. Luckily, I found two people, Jeff Marx and Soma Snakeoil, that love breaking things as much as I do. This is fucking fun!"

Quoting TomballTXPride:Your right, the one I quoted in post 284 is, my mistake. I could say similar things about florida being complacent and such too. There are always going to be some that don't follow evac order, those that want to and can't afford to, and those that can afford to have the best built homes fully able to weather a big storm and survive for weeks without power etc... but why would you wish a once in recorded history (so it's being called), or a 100 year, or 50 year storm on people as a wakeup call. The east coast has had what have been considered 100 year storms a lot (Isabel, Nor'Ida, Irene, to name a few).
Sometimes it's not being complacent or unprepared, but an act of nature that was unprecedented. People don't all know how to act or react, some people don't have help or can't afford to move away... they stay in their vulnerable houses, some go up to the attic when the water fills the rest of the house, and many become victims of the situation, whether the made the choice because they were complacent or unable to control the situation.
Lack of compassion in such situation is actually not unexpected by me in this country any longer. And while I won't agree with my neighbors on politics, as with the last few storm and flooding events, I will offer my hand in assisting them and put my needs second.
Actually, I don't care if you have no compassion, but don't wish death, destruction, and hardship on people because they "weren't prepared enough" for your opinion.

I called in sick today...needed mental health day....only to wake up to Joe's voice in my apartment coming to pick up his stuff. he didn't think I'd be here. Ky and I were still home and she was talking to him in the living room. I looked like crud and didn't really say anything. I gave him back his extra car keys and garage door opener and walked him out to the truck. We chatted for a bit and he said he felt I abandoned him in his time of need. That opened a can of whoop ********...I ended it with "when you're ready to do this with the courts and have the judge make the rules instead of her feel free to give me a call" and I went inside to shower.
He sat in his truck in the parking lot. I got out of the shower and he was in my apartment and had the paperwork I'd drawn up and said "let's do this. I need your help" I forwarned him that if he was doing this for me it's the wrong reason. I want him to do this for himself and the boys so that things are done right. Her pulling A out of counseling last minute was nothing more than a control move.
So we filed the motion at 10 a.m. for mandatory counseling for A with a counselor of the judges choice (neither parent gets a say) and a request for open phone lines from 6-9 PM where he can't be cut off from the boys as well as changed pickup and drop off to be at a neutral location vs. her job or her home.
We are not together at this point...I told him I need time to be sure it all goes through. I will help him and be a friend and have his back but as far as seeing him I think we need to see what hapens with the backlash of court and wait for the hearings to be done. Motion hour is on the 8th and that's when he'll get the hearing date.

|Intel Skulltrail 3: 8 vs 4 Core Performance
Among computer enthusiasts, there is no such thing as too much performance. With regard to the review sample that Intel sent us, we can honestly say that no other system that has passed through our lab has ever provided this much performance. In other words - or rather in numbers - here's what we got: The Skulltrail system consists of eight physical processor cores that can be (over)clocked at speeds up to 4 GHz. We're sure marketing-minded people would love to advertise this as a 32 GHz system, but that would obviously be inaccurate. The motherboard sports two socket 771 processor sockets, each equipped with a quad-core CPU. Intel already demonstrated this platform at its last Intel Developer forum in San Francisco, as you can read here.
Upon closer inspection, it turns out that Intel must have been under immense pressure when developing this new platform, though. Apparently Intel feared that AMD's quad-core Phenom CPUs, which had at the time not yet been released, Compare Prices on AMD Phenom Processors would catch up to or even outpace the Penryn. Of course, ever since the publication of the article "AMD Phenom-The Spider Weaves its Web," the world knows that AMD is still trying to iron out some kinks in its newest CPU.

white1widowI agree that the Skulltrail rig with two QX9775's is hands down the most incredible thing as of late. with a dual 9800gx2 SLI option its the gamers dream and could devour any game. As far as 8 core dual proc setups its the most powerful and obviously the most expensive. Being the most powerful means that everyone wants it and being the most expensive means that only the few, dedicated and rich enthusiast will have it... The rest of people who realize the power of a dual quad system will go Quad FX - the drasticaly cheaper route. I paid $600 for two FX72 at 2.8ghz and the quadfather motherboard. And I get incredible performance not far behind what skulltrail benchmarks indicate. I can multitask and an astounding level using XP64bit and a 5 drive raid + 4gb DDR2. So basically my point is this: Intel has created the most incredible rig (skulltrail), but nobody can afford it. thats not bringing power to the masses, its ripping folks off. That is why whenever Intel comes out with something awesome, I will always go and purchase the immensesly comparable AMD alternative at 1/4 the price. Dual FX72's is more than any nerd will ever need, if need be, I will simply upgrade to dual quad opterons and ECC memory.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
My first summer in London in many years is turning up a bounty of comic book appreciation. With beautiful exhibitions and events springing up all over the city, it seems like this is a pretty perfect time for lovers of visual communication to visit.
Although I'm from London, I only come back every 2 or 3 years and every time I return it seems quite different. While I always enjoy myself, this year it felt as if London were doing everything possible to be my ideal city.
On my first evening in town, I found myself at a bit of a loose end, too disoriented by the jet lag to switch on my brain to make social arrangements to see friends (it's an 8 hour time difference from Los Angeles and a 12 hour flight, which is quite disorienting in tandem). Instead, killing time, I took a look at Tom Spurgeon's website and happened to see that there was a party happening in the next couple of hours at the swanky new location of Gosh! Comics.
Although I'm calling it the "new" location, Gosh! moved a couple of years ago, so it's really only new to me. I have many fond memories of the old Gosh! Comics shop from my misspent youth, when I'd go to the British Museum to sketch the marbles (the naked Greek statues make a good stand-in for when you don't have the money or access to real life-models) and in the afternoons I'd sneak out to go buy comics across the road.
I easily found the new location on 1 Brewer Street and it is an even better shop than the original, right on the corner with tons of daylight and two floors of bright, open, shelving, packed with a broad variety of comic books. Over the years I've been to a lot of comic shop parties, from the sullen, shuffling lines of signings which are so common, to those rare and wild cocktail parties filled with sparkling conversation and much social interaction. I wasn't sure where on the spectrum this party would fall and I kept my expectations low as I made my way across Soho to the shop.
Already an hour in when I arrived, the party was already packed, with artist and writers Jim Medway, Donya Todd, and Oliver East all busy signing, sketching, and chatting at a central table, while owner Steven Walsh diligently poured of glasses of champagne and beamed at his guests spilling out on to the street. I wondered about the well-dressed, outgoing crowd and wondered if I was in the right country. Having moved away years ago, the occasional visit to London had not have prepared me for the friendly, warm atmosphere I encountered here. The diverse crowd excitedly browsed the books, snapping up classics and new comics as they shared their interests with each other.
Standing outside for a moment to marvel at the buzzing crowd, I stopped to talk to author Medway about the party, his work alone at the drawing board, his role in classrooms teaching young people to produce their own comic books, and his life in Derbyshire (in smelling distance of the great Swizzle sweet factory!). I asked about the inspiration for his inventive surreal work and he told me that he didn't grow up with any interest in American superheroes, but instead always had a desire to tell the stories of strange characters and monsters through words and pictures.
Charming comic book author Viv Schwarz wore a '60's-styled, Marvel superheroes portrait dress, which she had made herself from cotton sheets (very inspiring, as it looked quite professional). She carefully explained that while she loved drawing "funny books with pictures", she really didn't consider them "graphic novels" yet. I'm not sure what the definition is, but I applaud her creativity and inventiveness, whatever label she chooses to put on it.
The next day I tried to go to a fashion exhibition, which would have been nice, but those plans were happily thwarted by my accidental discovery of London's Cartoon Museum. Jumping off the bus early to get Japanese noodles, I passed the small museum and an eye-catching poster in the window advertising a retrospective of the great Ralph Steadman; STEADman@77. Of course I couldn't resist it and was quickly immersed.
The first floor of the exhibition packed in a huge array of Steadman cartoons spanning the breadth of his career, as well as information about the original publications, his approach to the work, and his evolving philosophy. The second floor accommodates a permanent workshop space for children to make comic books, as well as housing a large permanent collection of original art from British cartoonists.
Outside of reproductions, I've never seen any of Steadman's work in the original form, and I hadn't realized how much impact it would have. Obviously his work is often shocking and high-impact, but reduction of the scale or limitations in the quality of the reproductions often rob the pieces of their impact. When looking at original Steadman drawings, his ability to combine a wild, expressionist line with cold, hard geometry is quite daunting. He uses every tool at his disposal to express himself and he nearly always has something very interesting to say.
It gave me a strange little thrill to get up close to a page of David Lloyd's art from his seminal book with Alan Moore, V for Vendetta, complete with the hand-lettered speech bubbles written on blue graph paper and pasted on. We're so lucky to have computer so letter pages now, though this did add bags of character to it. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the elaborate original art pages on display, from comic book stories like The Bash Street Kids, (where the artist mused about his fever-induced choice to draw the teacher's wife looking like a clone of the teacher, complete with mustache!) to the 1977 appearance of Dan Dare in 2000AD, which included anecdotes and explanations from the artist and publishers.
It would be ridiculous to expect a third day of unplanned comic book appreciation, and yet when I went to the South Bank to take photos before a play, I found a temporary exhibition all about The Beano called Beanotown. This is quite an interesting exhibition, in that it is equally divided between a children's activity destination and a historical retrospective of the comic book and artifacts. While many other subject matters wouldn't be appropriate for such a raucous yet cerebral mixture, for The Beano it is perfect.
The content and characters of the The Beano were all always about being as naughty and mischievous as possible, while doing so with a level of attention and affection that many comic books would do well to emulate. Weaving in and out of the anarchic and creative play of the small children, I found a wealth of pages of original artwork, explanations of the unusual approaches to current events and politics, and many items from the various Dennis the Menace and Gnasher fan clubs I'd belonged to as a child (a very different menace from your American one).
Thoroughly happy with the comic book love I've been lucky enough to stumble across in London, I have another week of people to meet and things to see, so I can't imagine what I will discover next. It appears that after decades of overlooking the talents of comic book artists, Britain is applauding this wealth in the mainstream. It is a very rewarding time to be visiting and experiencing so much love for a medium which has always provided such a rich form of communication in my life.
(If you enjoyed the photos I took for this article, the rest of them are all in a flickr set here.)
Aw, cool stuff! Those color seps are neato. And up close with a page from V? Awesome.
Welcome back to the best city in the world right now.
Get yourself to Orbital Comics. They have a nice little gallery and great staff.
As a "townie" I haven't been visiting "the big smoke" that often recently myself.
Though, from my earlier visits I understand that I must stay in physical contact with my bags of purchases at all times as if I put one own and stand next to it without touching it – shopkeepers panic about an unattended bag…(the rest of the country isn't like this).
Had my first visit in about 3 years a month or 2 ago including my first visit since Gosh moved.
I assume "swanky new location" is a reference to the shop itself and not it's immediate neighbourhood (which lives down to Soho's sleazy reputation).
The big change I immediately noticed was the shop was more square and roomy contrasting the previous corridor and the stairs down felt much safer than the old ones…
The upstairs (maybe influenced by Nottingham's Page 45 and maybe to distinguish itself from London's other comics shops) has moved away from Superheroes leaving them down in the basement.
Orbital comics (which I stumble into by accident before I started looking for it) was unashameably predominantly Superhero focussed with new comics by the entrance and rows of back issues spreading out into the distance (filling in a number of gaps in my recent purchases [ooh..I missed an issue of Red She Hulk ..oh..it's not in "R"..try "H"….not there either,….maybe "S"…got it..).
Looked for Mighty World of Comicana but couldn't find it…maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, maybe it's moved, or maybe it's joined Top 10 Soho, Comics Showcase, my local shops and many others in comic shop heaven…
Forbidden Planet was my final stop with the array of toys and merchandise on the ground floor concealing the entrance to the underground labyrinth of books, comics, DVDs etc. While little back issues their stock of recent releases are probably the best in the country.
A big surprise was seeing all those alternative covers for comics which I normally feel lucky if I see at all chose my favourites for Morning Glories 28 & 29…
returned home hauling massive bags back onto the train…
maybe, I'll go again next month
Last I heard Comicana's stock had been bought by another comic shop (can't remember who, but established) and they were going to open a shop more towards Soho.

Dell goes Atomic
Subject: Mobile | September 30, 2008 - 02:42 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The new Dell Inspiron Mini 9 is an 8.9" netbook powered by an Atom N270 (1.6GHz) with 1GB of DDR2-533 RAM. It's 60GB SSD drive runs a flavour of Ubuntu and it features wireless support as well as a host of input and output plugs. Hardware Zone did find out that it is expected to sell at $799, but they didn't manage to get a firm number for the battery life of the netbook.
Another site thinks NVIDIA will be in new MacBooks
Subject: Mobile | September 22, 2008 - 11:54 AM | Ryan Shrout
Hmm, well this is interesting. Arstechnica is reporting that MacSoda is reporting that Expreview is reporting that we might see the NVIDIA MCP7A chipset in the new MacBooks coming next month.
Worry about eye strain, not back strain
Subject: Mobile | September 15, 2008 - 06:37 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
If you are headed back to school and find yourself in need of a notebook that doesn't take up much space or add weight to your backpack you have probably at least considered a netbook. These have become quite popular over the last year and there are a huge amount of models and manufacturers to choose from. Dropping by The Tech Report may help you out. They've compiled stats on the best that are out there, plus they take a look at what will be available to you soon.
Introduction and Specifications
Dell's XPS line of notebooks and PCs has been a fair success in the eyes of gamers as the brand continues to exist even in conjunction with the Alienware brand that Dell purchased a couple years back. We take their flagship M1730 notebook for a spin that features SLI graphics!
It's so tiny it's almost cute
Subject: Mobile | September 9, 2008 - 03:41 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The new Eee from ASUS PC 901 netbook is tiny, 8.86" wide by 6.9", just over twice the size of a CD case. Powered by an Atom N230 running at 1.6GHz and with 1GB of 533MHz DDR2, the tiny size doesn't mean you will be lacking in power. You can also keep using it on long flights, it is rated 7.8 hours of run time thanks to some interesting power savings tweaks. Check out the new face of ultra mobile at The Tech Report.
Power in your pocket
Subject: Mobile | September 4, 2008 - 03:11 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
If you don't have an Altoids tin handy to make a MintyBoost, or just aren't that into creating your own homebrew projects, you may find you really like a company called Ecosol. Their Powerstick, a USB powered portable charger with a big pile of connectors that will let you hook up to and recharge just about anything. Check it out at AnandTech.
Building a better battery
Subject: Mobile | August 29, 2008 - 12:19 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tech Knowledge Arena takes a look at the current state of laptop batteries and the new types we can expect to see in the not too distant future. Currently
Lithium Ion, Nickel Metal Hydride and Nickel Cadmium batteries are the main players, each with different benefits and drawbacks. Soon we may see fuel cell and virus powered laptops.
OCZ goes with DIY laptops
Subject: Mobile | August 26, 2008 - 01:04 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
One segment of the market that just hasn't grown the way enthusiasts would like is the ability to make your own laptop. The 15" laptop chassis that OZC provides is fairly customizable, except for one small component. You are stuck with a 8600M GT as your graphics chip, that is not customizable. Check out the full deal at PC Mechanic.
The new and improved Eee
Subject: Mobile | August 20, 2008 - 02:51 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The new Eee PC 1000 has a 10.2" display and measures 10.5 x 7.5 x 1.5, slightly larger than the original, and much blacker. Inside is a Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz, 1GB of DDR2-533, an 8GB SSD for storage along with a 32Gb internal SDHC card. See what The Tech Report thought of this Xandros-based Linux netbook.
A good thing gets better
Subject: Mobile | August 18, 2008 - 12:15 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
AnandTech was rather impressed by the Gateway P-6831, a powerful gaming notebook with a $1300 price tag. Gateway has updated that model with the P-7811, which not only has updated components, but also offers longer battery life. Their testing didn't all go smoothly however, read on to see what problems they encountered.

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line the base of a 21cm square tin with baking parchment. Put the cocoa, butter and sugar in your largest saucepan and gently melt, stirring so the mixture doesn't catch. When the cocoa mixture is melted and combined, cool slightly, then stir in the eggs, little by little, followed by the flour and coconut.
Tip into the tin and bake for 45 mins on a middle shelf – check after 30 mins and cover with another piece of baking parchment if the crust is browning too much. Cool in the tin, then carefully lift out and cut into squares.

These are fantastic. The coconut gives it something extra and adds some texture without being too strong (I'm not usually a fan of coconut). Everyone who has one raves about them and I haven't found any other brownies that are anywhere near as good as these. They are really simple to make too. This is what I usually bake when a friend is having a bad day.
I don't know what happened to my butter-cocoa-sugar mixture: turned-out all lumpy and grumpy... I was going to throw it away (and throw in the sponge...) but I decided to give it a try. Well: if that happens to you too, don't give up! Most lumps melted while cooking, but the few left gave these brownies some crunchiness which was not bad at all...
Delicious Brownies and very economical! Glad to have found a great brownie recipe that does not need chocolate, which can push up the costs. Chocolaty and the coconut adds great texture. Cooking time was 45 minutes exactly, although I did cover with baking parchment after 30 minutes. Highly recommended.
Sensational brownies enjoyed with coffee during a "Christmas Symposium". Lots of favourable comments "exactly what real brownies should be like"!!
A little trick you might want to try... I cooked these for 45 minutes, turned the oven off and left the tin in overnight. Next morning I had no problem cutting them into 16 pieces and they were definitely gooey and oh so delicious! Such a doodle to make.

Supporting Paragraph
A supporting paragraph is a fragment of a body that contains the essence of an essay – the result of your research. To structure your essay body consider the following advice:
- To prove an opinion you need to formulate a number of topic statements united in a logical chain. Enlist direct facts of evidence that prove or refute your thesis statement. The topic sentence should be followed by supporting sentences which provide examples, details, and reasons to support the topic sentence.
- Separate topic statements from each other by devoting a paragraph to each of them.
- A supporting paragraph should also have a structure of its own with introductory and concluding statements and rich vocabulary.
- Do not place irrelevant facts and statements into the body of your essay, though they may seem actual and bright.
- Try to sort your paragraphs by relevance, logically concluding the most powerful one (the culmination). Other possible structure systems are chronological, where you present facts starting from the least important to most important and simplest to the most complicated.

Not everybody agrees that the Greek crisis means the EU needs more integration. This column, from the German Council of Economic Experts, argues that for as long as EZ members are unwilling to transfer national sovereignty over economic and financial policy to the European level, all reform proposals must withstand a critical evaluation of the incentives they set for national economic and financial policy. The institutional framework of the single currency area can only ensure stability if it follows the principle of that liability and control must go hand in hand. Those who decide must bear the consequences of their decisions.
Lars Feld, Christoph Schmidt, Isabel Schnabel, Volker Wieland, 12 February 2016
Richard Baldwin, Francesco Giavazzi, 12 February 2016
Important progress has been made in repairing the design faults that the EZ Crisis revealed. This column introduces a new VoxEU eBook which argues that fixing the Eurozone is a job half done. The eBook, which presents 18 chapters by leading economists that hail from a broad range of nations and schools of thought, is surely the most comprehensive collection of solutions that has ever been assembled.
Filippo di Mauro, Arne Nagengast, Robert Stehrer, 29 January 2016
Now that the worst of the Eurozone Crisis has passed, one question that emerges is whether improving current account balances should be an objective for policymakers. And if so, what tools are available? This column argues that because of the emergence of global value chains, trade imbalances within the Eurozone are to a large extent an endogenous result of the international organisation of production at the firm level. It is therefore better to disregard intra-EZ imbalances and focus on the total.
Wouter den Haan, 19 January 2016
Policymakers have employed various new tools in response to the Global Crisis to revitalise economic performance. This column introduces a new eBook that brings together key Vox columns to reveal the evolution of the economic profession's thinking about one such tool – quantitative easing.
Dae Woong Kang, Nick Ligthart, Ashoka Mody, 19 January 2016
Although the Great Recession was viewed as a US problem, the Eurozone was affected by it from the start. This column compares the monetary policy responses to the Crisis by the Fed and the ECB. It argues that the US approach has been much more aggressive and proactive. The ECB failed to provide stimulus when needed, and as a result the Eurozone might slip into a low-inflation trap.
Biagio Bossone, Marco Cattaneo, 04 January 2016
'Helicopter tax credits' have been proposed as a means of injecting new purchasing power into the economies of Eurozone Crisis countries. This column outlines one such system for Italy. The Tax Credit Certificate system is projected to accelerate Italy's recovery over the next four years, and will likely be sustainable. It also provides a tool to avoid the breakup of the Eurosystem and its potentially disruptive consequences.
Ángel Ubide, 09 December 2015
The diversity of European economic cycles, economic structures, and political dynamics is a strength of the Eurozone. However, sustainable arrangements are required to distribute risks and ensure that all countries can use fiscal policy to cushion economic downturns. This column proposes the creation of a system of stability bonds for the Eurozone. These could be structured to minimise moral hazard, improve governance, and ensure that fiscal policy can support growth during the next recession.
Jörg Decressin, Prakash Loungani, 02 December 2015
Internal devaluations have been suggested as a possible policy option for countries in a currency union facing large external deficits. These policy actions seek to restore competitiveness by replicating the outcomes of an external devaluation. This column examines wage moderation as a potential means of internal devaluation for EZ countries. If pursued by several countries, wage moderation can work if monetary policy is not constrained by the zero lower bound, or if supported by quantitative easing. Without sufficient monetary accommodation, it will not deliver much of a boost to output, and may hurt overall EZ output.
Kevin Daly, Tim Munday, 28 November 2015
The fallout from the Global Crisis and its aftermath has been deeply damaging for European output. This column uses a growth accounting framework to explore the pre-Crisis and post-Crisis growth dynamics of several European countries. The weakness of post-Crisis real GDP in the Eurozone manifested itself in a decline in employment and average hours worked. However, decomposing growth for the Eurozone as a whole conceals significant differences across European countries, in both real GDP growth and its factor inputs.
Guido Tabellini, 07 September 2015
What are the main lessons to be drawn from the European financial crisis? This column argues that the Eurozone really is at a major cross-roads. Without a common fiscal policy, and without adequate institutions for aggregate demand management, European leaders have to constantly alter the rules. Currency risk will be the major concern of financial markets, much more than in the past, due to how Europe has dealt with the Greek crisis.
Stefano Micossi, 07 September 2015
The sovereign debt and banking crises of 2010-12 have led to significant changes in the institutions of the Eurozone. The credibility of common policies regarding budgetary discipline and economic convergence remains weak. This chapter proposes that the way forward is to gradually bring common economic policies under the oversight of the European Parliament and to strengthen the role of the Commission. The picture must be completed with getting national parliaments more involved in the European policy process. The present state of the Eurozone could be seen as a sort of political equilibrium, likely to be economically unstable.
Philip Lane, 07 September 2015
In the lead up to the global financial crisis, there was a substantial credit boom in advanced economies. In the Eurozone, cross-border flows played an especially important role in the boom-bust cycle. This column examines how the common currency and linkages between member states contributed to the Eurozone crisis. A very strong relationship between pre-crisis levels of external imbalances and macroeconomic performance since 2008 is observed. The findings point to the importance of delinking banks and sovereigns, and the need for macro-financial policies that manage the risks associated with excessive international debt flows.
Paul De Grauwe, 07 September 2015
Economists were early critics of the design of the Eurozone, though many of their warnings went unheeded. This column discusses some fundamental design flaws, and how they have contributed to recent crises. National booms and busts lead to large external imbalances, and without individual lenders of last resort – national central banks – these cycles lead some members to experience liquidity crises that degenerated into solvency crises. One credible solution to these design failures is the formation of a political union, however member states are unlikely to find this appealing.
Stefano Neri, Stefano Siviero, 15 August 2015
EZ inflation has been falling steadily since early 2013, turning negative in late 2014. This column surveys a host of recent research from Banca d'Italia that examined the drivers of this fall, its macroeconomic effects, and ECB responses. Aggregate demand and oil prices played key roles in the drop, which has consistently 'surprised' market-based expectations. Towards the end of 2014 the risk of the ECB de-anchoring inflation expectations from the definition of price stability became material.
Ashoka Mody, Guntram Wolff, 13 August 2015
The ECB believes that most Eurozone banks are out of the woods in terms of non-performing assets and capital shortfalls. This column argues that small and medium-sized banks – and among them the unlisted banks – remain under considerable stress. These banks are in the worst affected Eurozone countries, and their continued stress significantly impedes the flow of credit and also reduces lending. Policymakers need to seriously consider how and when to restructure and resolve these banks.
Reuven Glick, Andrew Rose, 15 June 2015
The Economic and Monetary Union in Europe has recently been the source of a lot of pain. Its economic benefits often seem a lot harder to measure. This column reconsiders earlier opinions on the trade effects of currency unions using the latest data and methodologies. It suggests the euro has at least a mildly stimulating effect on exports. However, the switches and reversals across methodologies do not make allowances for any bold statements.

Sovereign bonds are the latest and biggest quantitative easing (QE) policy conducted by the Eurozone. This column argues that instead of sovereign bonds, the Eurozone should focus on assets that are the closest to job-creating, growth-enhancing, and innovation-promoting activities. In particular, instruments issued by agencies and European institutions should be given a prominent role. But they should also be selected to promote the financing of long-term growth and jobs, not of unsustainable government expenditure.

The shallow growth response to Eurozone rebalancing policies could point towards structural impediments. To uncover such impediments and design effective structural reforms, it is necessary to focus on the path from micro behaviour to macro outcomes. This column argues that firm-level data from the CompNet database can shed light on the impacts of structural reforms.

As the Eurozone crisis lingers on, euro exit is now being debated in 'core' as well as 'periphery' countries. This column examines the potential costs of euro exit, using France as an example. The authors estimate that 30% of private marketable debt would be redenominated, but since only 36% of revenues would be redenominated, the aggregate currency mismatch is relatively modest. However, the immediate financial cost of exiting the euro would nevertheless be substantial if public authorities were to bail out systemic and highly exposed companies.

The large international imbalances accumulated in the Eurozone have proven difficult to unwind during the recent Crisis. This column argues that market reforms had a role in generating current account imbalances, and that patterns of relative labour market regulation could be equally important in the aftermath of the Crisis.
