Friedman on climate inaction: Were Gonna Be Sorry
For any first time visitors here because of Tom Friedman's column in the Sunday NY Times, "We're Gonna Be Sorry," you might start with "An Introduction to Climate Progress."
When I first heard on Thursday that Senate Democrats were abandoning the effort to pass an energy/climate bill that would begin to cap greenhouse gases that cause global warming and promote renewable energy that could diminish our addiction to oil, I remembered something that Joe Romm, the climateprogress.org blogger, once said: The best thing about improvements in health care is that all the climate-change deniers are now going to live long enough to see how wrong they were.
We'll always have gallows humor!
For some reason, the NYT is home to a large fraction of the U.S. opinion columnists who get global warming. Nicholas Kristof had a terrific piece last week, "Our Beaker Is Starting to Boil," on global warming and the work of David Breashears to document "stunning declines in glaciers on the roof of the world."
Yes, Kristof cited ClimateProgress.org, too — but Kristof and Friedman and Krugman don't care about global warming because they read this blog, they read this blog because they care about global warming. Kristof concludes:
The retreat of the glaciers threatens agriculture downstream. A study published last month in Science magazine indicated that glacier melt is essential for the Indus and Brahmaputra rivers, while less important a component of the Ganges, Yellow and Yangtze rivers. The potential disappearance of the glaciers, the report said, is "threatening the food security of an estimated 60 million people" in the Indus and Brahmaputra basins.
We Americans have been galvanized by the oil spill on our gulf coast, because we see tar balls and dead sea birds as visceral reminders of our hubris in deep sea drilling. The melting glaciers should be a similar warning of our hubris "" and of the consequences that the earth will face for centuries unless we address carbon emissions today.
Friedman's piece is a must read, too. After spreading the blame around, including "President Obama for his disappearing act on energy," he writes:
We've basically decided to keep pumping greenhouse gases into Mother Nature's operating system and take our chances that the results will be benign "" even though a vast majority of scientists warn that this will not be so. Fasten your seat belts. As the environmentalist Rob Watson likes to say: "Mother Nature is just chemistry, biology and physics. That's all she is." You cannot sweet-talk her. You cannot spin her. You cannot tell her that the oil companies say climate change is a hoax. No, Mother Nature is going to do whatever chemistry, biology and physics dictate, and "Mother Nature always bats last, and she always bats 1.000," says Watson. Do not mess with Mother Nature. But that is just what we're doing.
Since I don't have anything else to say, I will just fill out this column with a few news stories and e-mails that came across my desk in the past few days:
"¢ Just as the U.S. Senate was abandoning plans for a U.S. cap-and-trade system, this article ran in The China Daily: "BEIJING "" The country is set to begin domestic carbon trading programs during its 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-2015) to help it meet its 2020 carbon intensity target. The decision was made at a closed-door meeting chaired by Xie Zhenhua, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission … Putting a price on carbon is a crucial step for the country to employ the market to reduce its carbon emissions and genuinely shift to a low-carbon economy, industry analysts said."
"¢ As we East Coasters know, it's been extremely hot here this summer, with records broken. But, hey, you could be living in Russia, where ABC News recently reported that a "heat wave, which has lasted for weeks, has Russia suffering its worst drought in 130 years. In some parts of the country, temperatures have reached 105 degrees." Moscow's high the other day was 93 degrees. The average temperature in July for the city is 76 degrees. The BBC reported that to keep cool "at lakes and rivers around Moscow, groups of revelers can be seen knocking back vodka and then plunging into the water. The result is predictable "" 233 people have drowned in the last week alone."
"¢ A day before the climate bill went down, Lew Hay, the C.E.O. of NextEra Energy, which owns Florida Power & Light, one of the nation's biggest utilities, e-mailed to say that if the Senate would set a price on carbon and requirements for renewal energy, utilities like his would have the price certainty they need to make the big next-generation investments, including nuclear. "If we invest an additional $3 billion a year or so on clean energy, that's roughly 50,000 jobs over the next five years," said Hay. (Say goodbye to that.)
"¢ Making our country more energy efficient is not some green feel-good thing. Retired Brig. Gen. Steve Anderson, who was Gen. David Petraeus's senior logistician in Iraq, e-mailed to say that "over 1,000 Americans have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan hauling fuel to air-condition tents and buildings. If our military would simply insulate their structures, it would save billions of dollars and, more importantly, save lives of truck drivers and escorts. … And will take lots of big fuel trucks (a k a Taliban Targets) off the road, expediting the end of the conflict."
"¢ The last word goes to the contrarian hedge fund manager Jeremy Grantham, who in his July letter to investors, noted: "Conspiracy theorists claim to believe that global warming is a carefully constructed hoax driven by scientists desperate for … what? Being needled by nonscientific newspaper reports, by blogs and by right-wing politicians and think tanks? I have a much simpler but plausible 'conspiracy theory': the fossil energy companies, driven by the need to protect hundreds of billions of dollars of profits, encourage obfuscation of the inconvenient scientific results. I, for one, admire them for their P.R. skills, while wondering, as always: "Have they no grandchildren?"
Hear! Hear! Grantham's must-read piece is here.

Notice that people are now starting to get it – not because of the science – but because the real experiential pain is beginning.
Governments will fund weather forecasting because it is vital to commerce. But climate forecasting has been actively suppressed for decades because it threatens carbon energy industries.
We are left to interpret climate models and outdated scenarios. Now that our attitude is starting to change, we are reacting, it is harder to calmly look at the science to set policy.
Now if only the NYTimes newsroom took climate change as seriously as their columnists. Seriously, how can any serious journalist write a story these days about the increasingly freakish weather and NOT get a quote in about what's on everyone's mind when such weather happens– climate change? Just today NYT.com ran three or four such weather stories on their front page. It's like they work to avoid it. Really, it's not that hard– just get a couple local laypeople to put their fears, speculations, or denialist fantasies into words, then just call up any serious climatologist and get a stock quote explaining that extreme heat and precipitation events are part of an increasing trend that's totally consistent with AGW theory, and more should be expected with each extra ton of carbon pollution.
The Planet is reacting now to the current level of CO2 – its going to become worse- and quickly.
Thomas Friedman writes an honest and direct opinion- we can hope the rest of the media begins to do the same.
Yes, people need to literally feel the heat in order to grasp what is going on. The very fact that the global average temperature is at record level despite natural drivers being turned to cool is not nearly enough. Example: Temperatures in Northern Europe is still somewhat below average this summer, and denialism is at an all time high. Public opinion went from pretty much universal acceptance of AGW after a 20 year period where extremely mild winters dominated, to widespread hard core denial after just one winter season with below normal temperatures (triggered by the extreme AO/NAO).
In so many of these editorials there are statements made to the effect that "if we don't stop burning fossil fuels the warming will continue…" The implication is that if we do Stop burning fossil fuels, the warming will cease.
This gives people the idea that "all" we have to do is stop our oil addiction and the earth will return to normal, as if we have control of the climate. There is also perhaps the suggestion that we can decide to do this anytime, although there is urgency, and then things will be OK.
The fact is we have already lost control of the climate, or to put it more accurately, we are only able to influence how fast it gets worse, but we cannot make it better. We have driven our car over the crest of the hill and gravity has taken over in the form of positive feedback loops such as melting ice and thawing permafrost. We still have our foot on the gas pedal, but even if we take it off, there are no brakes in this car.
If CO2 levels in the 380's and rising are causing glaciers to melt, how can we fool ourselves that merely slowing down on emissions will stop the melting? The CO2 that is already in the atmosphere is not going away in any sort of time frame that applies to human experience.
Maybe this level of understanding of reality would just cause people to throw up their hands and give up. I don't know if that would be the case, but it seems the public discourse lags a certain distance behind scientific understanding. Maybe a dose of this truth would move the discussion forward to somewhere concerted action can begin.
Well said, Sue in NH! I do not think we should give up in despair – although that might be the reaction most people have when they become enlightened about the inevitable trajectory of amplifying feedbacks – any more than a person diagnosed with a fatal disease should squander their remaining time.
On the contrary, the response often is, and should be, to make every effort to triumph, and to make the most of the things that are really important – not amassing more stuff, but making deeper connections to friends and family, and being the best possible person you can be.
The WWII moment is clearly on the horizon. The bottom of the food chains are collapsing in the oceans (coral reefs, small calcium based shellfish from CO2 acidification) and simultaneously on land (vegetation dying back from acid rain, fog, dry deposition, and ozone). Top predators, including humans, will soon run out of food. Indeed, they already are suffering shortages which will rapidly become acute.
I continue to believe this is a more compelling reason than melting ice for the average person to understand the necessity to make substantial changes, and scientists should turn some of their attention to explaining why.
Defining Big
According to Forbes' latest listing of The World's Leading Companies, five of the six most profitable companies in the world are oil and gas companies.
The six most profitable companies in the world are:
Gazprom (Russia)
ExxonMobil (US)
China Mobile (Hong Kong, and the only one of the top six that is not an oil or gas company)
PetroChina (China)
Petrobras (Brazil)
BP (United Kingdom)
FYI, Royal Dutch Shell is 17 on the list (of profit), Total is 21, Chevron is 27, and so forth.
Also, an interesting puzzle to contemplate: The New York Times recently wrote that one out of every four cars GM sells these days is sold in China, which is a great growth market for GM. But aren't we supposed to be trying to convince the Chinese, and trying to work with them, to reduce GHG emissions? How does pushing conventional cars at them show them that we are serious (well, these days I guess we aren't!) about the need to reduce GHG emissions? And, it's also interesting to note that the Chairman of GM is on the Board of Directors of ExxonMobil. I ask, how does that help matters?
People, although I appreciate the stances and writings of Krugman, Friedman, and etc. regarding climate change, we're gonna need a lot more than that. The oil companies are laughing their ways to the bank. (I once worked for Chevron, and I also had offers from Exxon and Shell at the time.)
On a related note, Andy Revkin (of The New York Times) has indicated that he will try to write an open letter to the news media covering his own assessment of the quality of the news media's coverage of climate change as well as the things he thinks that the news media should do better (if anything), based on his many years of experience on the beat. He has asked to be reminded near the end of the month — so here is a reminder. I do think Andy SHOULD have a lot to say, and perhaps the real question is whether he will allow himself to say it candidly and with due concern and accurate criticism. Will Andy be a key journalist who follows in the footsteps of Murrow, Cronkite, and rare others who can be straightforward and tell it like it is when it comes to appropriately and necessarily criticizing the media? In any case, we should look forward to Andy's open letter. Hopefully it will offer the public, and the news media, a solid and clear sense of what the media should be doing in order to genuinely and responsibly and effectively provide the public with the necessary information and wisdom to understand the problem we face and to actually take action in order to truly achieve "the public good" and (somehow) become a much better informed democracy.
By the way, although I appreciate the pieces by Krugman and Friedman, and applaud them, I do NOT see The New York Times lifting even a baby finger in order to provide the public with the straight scoop on ExxonMobil, who has been one of The Times' largest advertisers in the last couple of years and who has used The Times to spread confusion and misleading information, willy nilly. If you ask me, The Times' coverage of climate change has been dismal, for the most part, aside from the occasional opinion pieces, given the great stakes involved. Indeed, the very best thing that Krugman and Friedman and etc. could probably do, at this point, before writing another column, is to join together and march up to Bill Keller's office and insist that The Times dramatically improve its news coverage of the climate and energy problems, pronto, or else (if they are serious about it), they'll leave and go elsewhere. Emerson once wrote, "Your goodness must have some edge to it — else it is none." (Self-Reliance) Perhaps Andy will make the march with you, Paul and Tom?
The oil guys are BIG, and we haven't even mentioned the coal guys. Will the media step up to the plate, or not? That is the question.
Be Well,
Nice thoughts Sue up in NH
The climate has warmed here in CT over 4 degrees F since 1970.
Yet despite the changes we are having- I meet those who say its 'just a cycle'. Blind people, blind world.
Sue is exactly right about the timing of our situation, and I'm relieved to see that this detail is finally getting some more attention.
David Archer talked a lot about this in his excellent book, "The Long Thaw", and the issue is dealt with in considerable detail in the recently released report published by the National Academies Press, "Climate Stabilization Targets: Emissions, Concentrations, and Impacts over Decades to Millenia" (the prepublication version is still a free PDF download at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12877). That report makes the point that to stabilize at any given level of CO2 we would need a greater than 80% reduction in emissions, and we're already close to locking in a very different future for not just centuries but millenia. I suspect readers of this site know what "very different" means….
I've been yelling about this bizarre fetish we have over the year 2100, as if all we have to do is get emissions low enough before then and we're home free. As David Archer points out, 40% of the warming from the CO2 we emit up to that date will happen after 2100. We acted out of ignorance for centuries to create this problem and now we're still struggling to overcome not just greedy and ideologically driven deniers but counterproductive world views even among those who "get" climate change.
Sue in NH:
Indeed this is the conundrum;… the choice may ultimately be, how do you like your frog, parboiled or fried?
This experiment in home rule clearly isn't working. You need to be careful, otherwise we might pass a bill to return power to Westminster.
Seriously, the problem in the US seems to be that political power now rests almost entirely with corporate interests. Corporations are legally forbidden from addressing an issue like climate change because solutions invariably divert them from their primary goal of making a huge pile of money ever huger. At least in the UK it is one man – one vote. We vote in a party and the party carries out the manifesto on which it was elected. In the US it seems that no-one is really in charge and that votes are bought and sold to the highest bidder at every stage.
Joe – if I were you I would step back a bit and try and redefine the problem. Particularly in the US this revolves around your constitution rather than any lack of will, understanding or lack of solutions.
The Democratic clowns to the left of me offer "white paint"….Republican
jokers to the right "cling to denial"….we are stuck in the middle!
Is that radiant barrier paint for free?
Should post projected yes and no votes per senator under the Deutche Bank CO2 emissions sign at Madison Square Garden in New York City; also on the web.
thanks yo very goods
I would be reluctant to press the mainstream media to talk about this issue, unless the outlet has a clear record of respecting the science. Most such articles are going to ask a denier for a quote for balance and they have shown themselves very adept at manipulating the media. And as to TV news, more people watch local news than national, and those stations are bound to ask their meteorologist to pass judgment.
Anybody who follows news and issues even modestly has heard of global warming. If they haven't already found the science, but their minds are open, then the actual experience is probably what will convince them. In other words, this summer is convincing more people than newspapers would.
Friedman's piece is excellent–so what is the next step to address the crisis? Is devising the perfect policy any use if the Senate will not consider any bill? Is local grass roots activity remotely likely to get a great deal of attention in the media or to bring about change at the necessary rate? Are technology improvements at all likely to outweigh increased consumption? What is the approach that will actually work?
17. Ben Lieberman, " . . . what is the next step . . ?"
This is a moral issue, a highly practical issue, and something to the benefit of all — of extreme self-interest — and everything you mention will work especially when the scale of the problems and potential solutions remain in our sights.
"Should post projected yes and no votes per senator under the Deutche Bank CO2 emissions sign at Madison Square Garden in New York City; also on the web."
I was thinking this. I don't know if there are many politicians that feel any shame about anything,
but it's well worth trying.
Publicly Shame them.
Maybe just a little remark
THE US is going to be sorry. Think about who will have been responsible for blocking progress on climate action. Think about what the result might be of 9 billion of people angry over 20 generations at a nation of 300 million people… think about.
" Men argue, nature acts "
Voltaire (1694 – 1778)
Bear #339 Arctic Drilling Op-Ed
Ben Lieberman: "What is the approach that will actually work?"
We know what needs to be done:
1. End ALL anthropogenic CO2 emissions now (which as a practical matter, means within 10 years, with the steepest reductions occurring within 5 years).
2. Begin a worldwide program to draw down the already dangerous anthropogenic excess of CO2 through organic agriculture and reforestation.
3. Meanwhile, hope that we have not already warmed the Earth beyond "tipping points" such that self-reinforcing carbon feedbacks will continue to warm the planet regardless of what we do.
I would submit that points 1 and 2 above are actually FAR EASIER to accomplish, both technically and economically, than most people realize, and will have numerous extremely positive and beneficial "side effects" for human society.
So, the question then becomes what political approach will get us going on that path?
And that's a tough one — because of the ruthless and reckless greed of the fossil fuel corporations for the BILLION DOLLARS PER DAY IN PROFIT that they rake in from business-as-usual consumption of their products, and their death-grip on US energy policy.
Carbon credits, reduction targets etc won't work in the time available. The problem with CFCs and the ozone layer was sorted by setting dates to stop using CFCs. Lead was taken out of petrol(gas) by a fixed date to stop putting it in.
We need cut-off dates for using fossil fuels for each use – eg no road vehicle using fossil fuel may be sold new after 2020, no electricity may be generated by FF after 2025.
Cut-off dates concentrate the minds of industry.
"Floods Throughout Midwest"
The rain has stopped but in many states water still rages.
peter whitehead, #24 "The problem with CFCs and the ozone layer was sorted"
It is believed that if the international agreement is adhered to, the ozone layer is expected to recover by 2050 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_protocol
Raul@ 13 asks: "Is that radiant barrier paint for free?" It should be bought and distributed by BIG OIL & COAL-and out of the divided side of the equation, not an added cost to the consumer. In reality, if it happens, it will be an oil based product produced by EXXON & ALL and applied with a no bid contract to Hallburton. (After all they have become the new "too big to fail".)
Welcome to GOBP LAND everyone.
Colorado Bob @22: Good Video: One thought. Could you super impose the same scale Gulf spill on the melting Arctic? Black or gray shadow? Why leave anything to the imagination? This is Anti-Science folks you are talking to.
Great comments ALL.
I was anti-science till my dad explained to me the
sky wasn't falling. But, now with the rain making
new type of scum on places that are petro based
and puddle water, I still say be careful.
Please be careful.
Yes, I first started noticing a different kind
of slime on the riding mower seat after a rain
back after the 2005 hurricane season.
Painted surfaces also seemed to be more slippery.
So still I say please be careful. No hurry.
As far a white pavement, the pavement could
appear to be mostly white if cars etc. had cool roofs
in large metro areas.
Any chance the Senate democrats will go after it during a got nothing to lose lame duck session?
If you must have an automobile, buy a white one.
I have yet to read a dollar amount for a carbon tax. How many dollars for a ton of CO2 emitted?
#11 Robert is spot on.
#24 Peter Whitehead, firm cut-off dates for various fuels make the most sense.
Climate is average weather.. Climate change is really climate failure because weather averages from years ago mean almost nothing today and even less tomorrow. Welcome to our new world. Be brave.
Encourage smaller families for the next several generations. One child per couple might even be too many.
catman306@33 — Around $150 per ton of CO2 for fossil carbon ought to be enough to sequester it.
So, if the climate bill in the Senate is dead, can the EPA please go ahead with command-and-control regulations now?
Is it really necessary to point out that white surfaces, while they may helpfully reflect unwanted excess heating, will do NOTHING to save us from the mass extinction of sea creatures from ocean acidification (keeping in mind that much of our food, and oxygen to breathe, comes from life in the sea)…
not to mention it will accomplish ZERO to stop the acidification of the atmosphere, from the other greenhouse gas pollutants, which are destroying the terrestrial vegetation (trees and crops) that just so happens to be the base of our food chain?
Unfortunately, the failure of the United States to address the global warming issue in 2010 means that it will likely be a very long time before the country gets another opportunity to do something.
Thomas Friedman is right to say that this is no longer a political issue. It is now Nature's problem to solve and Nature's tools are harsh, unmerciful and unresponsive to human suffering.
If there is some boundary between survival and extinction beyond which our species should not cross it is quite evident that our species has already crossed the boundary and continues to accelerate along the path to its ultimate tragic end. There's no stopping humankind. All of those human traits that have destroyed the planet so far have become malignant and won't respond to treatment. The illness afflicting the planet has gone terminal and won't stop until our species has finished exterminating itself.
In addition to the climate problem, it is worthwhile to point out that China's demand for oil is growing at a rate that would lead it to consume 20 million barrels of oil a day by the 2020's. This is a really big problem since Peak Oil has already occurred and it is impossible for both the United States and China to consume more than half of the world's daily oil production without dreadful consequences.
The price of oil will skyrocket in the years ahead and this double-dip depression will become a global economic collapse from which our civilization will not recover.
Yet humankind cannot repond to any of these problems. Our species has locked itself into a myth of perpetual economic growth combined by perpetual human population growth.
This story isn't going to have a happy ending.
The situation will just deteriorate further and further. Future missions have to focus on disaster management, food supply, construction, education and stuff like this. As long we hunt for fossil energy – any nation, we are doomed. We need to replace existing technology with green technologies and help the developing world to help us in removing greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere – BECCS.
This is the only way to create a new economy and to sustain current life-style. We need to focus on key priorities like negative carbon actions. Because even if we stop today all emissions worldwide – the planet will keep warming! There is no business and consumer market in a world choked by catastrophic events.
Beside this at certain points it will happen in large magnitudes. Why wait till we reach a point of no return and irreversible climate changes?
Politically, I suggest advocating something like the following:
1) No person shall lobby Congress (or any member of the government) who is paid to do so. (Money as speech is a corrupt concept that has destroyed America's leadership, treasury and reputation).
2) No person shall be elected to office who: has purchased time on electronic media (return to Fairness Doctrine and public requirements of ownership), has received over (one thousand dollars?) from any entity/source, who has spent over (one million?) of their own funds for their campaign.
It's a start. We must be rid of corrupted, plutocratic oligopoly resulting from the financialization of the government AND the economy. Then we might start serious examination of hundreds of billions of dollars annually of perverse subsidies (like petroleum extraction and atomic fission) and other poor planning and system designs, including those with built-in conflicts of interest.
David Mathews, #37 "perpetual human population growth."
We are on a path to a planet which can just feed 1-2 billion people and this is still a positive scenario (Lovelock et al.).
Catastrophic climate change has the potential to kill more people in a short period of time than any human technology. And this is why people like Stephen Hawking, Dr Lovelock, Frank Fenner etc warn of human extinction. The simple evolutionary solution for population growth is space colonization.
The science of climate change is alive and well
While the skeptics will likely continue their attacks, climate science is alive and well, and the public is smarter than we think. All we need now is the political will to take action.
Prokaryotes@40 — Won't work; we are wedded to this planet.
There won't be much fight left when the president decides to make his pitch.
Could be some are spending about all they can on
mitigation while others don't have any idea what
that is beside turning on the A/C or heat.
Might be some who know what it is are thinking
that what ever monies are available will have to
be saved for repairs day.
Thanks David B. Benson.
Poor Tony Hayward. Huff says he's leaving before Tuesday. Personally responsible, he is. But I could live comfortably on just one string of his golden parachute..
With the superstar salary must come superstar responsibility. So be sure to think long and hard about that personal responsibility before accepting a job with that kind of salary.
It's not too late …
AFTER the recent spate of torrential rains and the floods that followed, many questioned the Public Utilities Board's ability to handle large amounts of rainfall and whether more could be done to improve Singapore's drainage system.
But while the PUB certainly has much work to do, we should not forget we can do something about the root of the problem: The rain.
Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew last week called the rain and floods an "act of God". I would call it "a reaction of God to the actions of men".
Climate change has wreaked havoc on weather patterns the world over. Japan is battling a heatwave with temperatures hitting 40.9°C, while China is facing deadly floods. Singapore's average annual temperature has risen in recent years, reports tell us.
So, what does this mean to us? Simply: We should do our part by trying to save the environment. This can be done in small increments, in many simple ways, like lessening the use of air-conditioners or turning lights off when not in use.
They may seem like insignificant acts, but clearly, we're already seeing the effects of mankind's environmental callousness. http://www.todayonline.com/Voices/EDC100726-0000029/Its-not-too-late-,,,
Freeman Dyson says
"My first heresy says that all the fuss about global warming is grossly exaggerated. Here I am opposing the holy brotherhood of climate model experts and the crowd of deluded citizens who believe the numbers predicted by the computer models. Of course, they say, I have no degree in meteorology and I am therefore not qualified to speak. But I have studied the climate models and I know what they can do. The models solve the equations of fluid dynamics, and they do a very good job of describing the fluid motions of the atmosphere and the oceans. They do a very poor job of describing the clouds, the dust, the chemistry and the biology of fields and farms and forests. They do not begin to describe the real world that we live in. The real world is muddy and messy and full of things that we do not yet understand. It is much easier for a scientist to sit in an air-conditioned building and run computer models, than to put on winter clothes and measure what is really happening outside in the swamps and the clouds. That is why the climate model experts end up believing their own models."
release the hounds joe
At a meeting of the Union of Concerned Scientists (ucsusa.org), held in Cleveland Ohio, we were provided with handouts containing extensive information on "Confronting Climate Change in the U.S. Midwest: Ohio and what to expect if the status quo remains. The same materials are available for every region and every state with timelines, graphs, and how to get to clean energy.
For example, I had no idea that Ohio is the fourth largest producer of global warming emissions among all states. That per capita emission are nearly 19% higher than the national average, mainly because 87% of Ohio's energy comes from coal fired power plants (compared with the national average of 50%). And if that isn't enough, Ohio imported nearly three-quarters of the coal its power plants used in 2008, To pay for the imports, we sent 1.87 billion dollars out-of-state. Instate mines suppled the rest of Ohio's coal and we exported $381 million to other states. The state thus spent a net $1.49 billion on imported coal. Do you know what is going on in your state? (By the way, the top four coal dependent state starts with Georgia spending $2.6 billion, followed by North Carolin $2.3 billion, Texas $1.9 billion and Florida 1.6 billion.)
In Friedman's New York Times article today he fingered the most important sector not yet involved. The Electorate. They have remained unengaged because they have had no real information. The deniers message has echoed around the media, blogs, internet mags so often people may think it is global warming is a slogan.
We must cut to the chase and put forth the scientific issues to the Electorate so they completely and throughly undrstand what is at stake. Not rumors or implications or overreaching or socialism or the deficit. We need a strong comprehensive climate bill before we restore tax cuts for the wealthy. Your children and grandchildren are going to ask: Isn't there anything you could have done?"
The last three sentences in Rhomm's excellent book, Straight Up, makes it clear: "..the fight in 2010 and beyond is not Democrat versus Republican or progressive versus conservative. It is science versus anti-science. Science will eventually prevail. It always does." Thanks for that.
Congress will not act without public support.
It's the bottom of the ninth, and we're down by 3, with one man on base and two outs. There's every chance that we're going to lose*. But it's time to fight, not time to give up.
Up at bat is US climate legislation. The best chance to pass it is filibuster reform. To switch metaphors, it's time for all hands on deck.
*I think that Prokaryotes' (#40) apocalyptic numbers of 1-2 billion people on earth are plausible, though his implication that we'll have even a million people living in space by end of century is lunatic.
an interesting video on the possibilities of recycling. Ship Made of Plastic Bottles Crosses Pacific
The Plastiki, which is made from 12,500 recycled bottles, arrives in Sydney after crossing the Pacific. http://www.newslook.com/videos/232799-ship-made-of-plastic-bottles-crosses-pacific?autoplay=true
It about jobs and new technology. Even if you think global warming is a hoax, how do you deny the job creation and profitability of going green? Can't we get anybody with politcal courage anymore?
There is a lot of talk about solar and wind power… not working at scale. It occurred to me recently that the problems we are facing with AGW are because oil and coal do not work at scale. Everyone in those industries act as if they do, but the scale they work at is if only 6% of the world (or some relatively small percentage) has electricity and cars.
The problems we face now is because we have nothing that works at current scale. Just a thought.

Won't you pour me a cuban breeze, Gretchen?
that second photo is awful.
You'll shoot your eye out, Kid, but this Daisy is still the best..."an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and 'this thing' which tells time"
A real man would take them both at the same time. Count me in that catagory. I can't believe nobody said this before me. Sheesh!

Because of its endless sybaritic (indulgent or luxurious) amenities, Dubai has emerged in the early 21st century as a vacation destination for the wealthy and ostentatious.
Sybaritic looks like a complicated word, but to pronounce it, just think of the "sib" in the word sibling, then "uh," then the "-ritic" of the word critic. One way to remember the pronunciation is a rhyme: not even the harshest travel writer or restaurant critic ever turns down the sybaritic pleasures of Las Vegas.
Definitions of sybaritic
adj displaying luxury and furnishing gratification to the senses
"a chinchilla robe of sybaritic lavishness"
- Synonyms:
- epicurean, luxuriant, luxurious, voluptuary, voluptuous
characterized by or given to yielding to the wishes of someone

Chiefs Head To Playoffs After Losing In Overt.ime
Andy Reid rested his starters on Sunday, but the Chiefs put up quite a fight against the Chargers first teamers before losing 27-24 in overtime at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.
The victory punched the Chargers ticket for the playoffs, giving the AFC West 3 teams in the tournament. On Saturday, the Chiefs will play the Colts in Indianapolis, while the Chargers will go to Cincinnati to play the Bengals.
There was plenty to discuss and knowledge to gain after this one. Here is our coverage:
- GAME STORY – Backups almost shock Chargers.
- COLUMN – Reid got what he wanted from Sunday.
- SIDEBAR – Daniel finally gets another start.
- SIDEBAR – Chiefs set NFL record on kick returns.
- OFFICIALS REPORT – Mistakes hurt Chiefs chances.
- REPORT CARD – Mediocre grades can't produce victory.
- PLAY OF THE GAME – Chargers make FG fake work.
- KEYS TO WINNING/Recap – None of these keys were turned.
- Chiefs 2014 Opponents.

No one went to work today? Whole lot of great posts on various subjects.
Might point out a couple of things:
Did anyone notice how well the OL did or how Daniel seemed to be able to find WRs with relative ease even in his first game – Ask yourself why. They practice together against the first stringers, they are basically a second complete team. Not as good as the starters but when one OL leans left, the guys beside him know what he is going.
Had, my fav. HC, Andy given them a little relief from the resting starters, the game might not have been lost….got tired when it is the first time you have to play iron man football, you position and special teams also.
Game did not matter and while enjoyable to watch, just muddied the waters for Reid and Dorsey before the next draft. You chose who to replace by their LACK of production, not on one hard played game.
If I were Andy I would threaten the starters benching if they play like the last time against Indy….. LOL

F rom Sigmund Freud to René Girard commentators on the cultural placement of the taboo ('cultural' understood in senses that embrace the mythological, the ritualistic and the literary) have drawn attention to all-important mechanisms of exchange and displacement.1 There can be no taboo without a threshold; a site of complex psychic placements and negotiations which house (without simply domesticating) and which contain (without ultimately earthing) powerful currents and cross-currents within the human psyche. At the level of ritual, of sacrificial enactment, a person or experience or place is taboo by virtue of being at one and the same time holy and defiled, sacred and foul, sublime and debasing. Transfiguration and transgression are, then, closely linked. The commerce of psychic energies invested in the sacrificial victim is one of both overlapping (the taboo self stands for us) and separation (it is, precisely, not us; it replaces and displaces us). Hence, we both acknowledge and disavow it, moving constantly between perceptions of otherness, radical alterity (on the one hand) and complicity, empathy, identity on the other. Our confrontation with the taboo realm is one that is charged both positively and negatively; and, as so often, there is a current that conjoins positive and negative poles.
The dizzying economy of psychic ambivalence finds eloquent expression in language -- one thinks of Lacan's stress on the volatile interplay of substance and lack, of things acknowledged and exorcised, incarnated and banished in language.2 Lacan's view of language is particularly suggestive if one applies it to the

President MacNamara offered testimony at a hearing held by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on February 11, 2015. The hearing follows a comment period where thousands of citizens expressed their concern over the need for stricter disclosure rules and to strengthen regulations on coordination between candidates and secret, dark money groups. President MacNamara called on the agency to update regulations on campaign finance laws to provide full disclosure in light of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions Citizens United and McCutcheon v. FEC.
League President MacNamara urges the FEC to update campaign finance regulations to provide full disclosure so that the Citizens United decision does not continue as the giant loophole for secret giving that it has become.
Not everyone is familiar with the work the League does in the courts. But advocacy in the judicial branch is a key part of the League's overall efforts. Here at the League of Women Voters of the United States (LWVUS), we take action with all three branches of government.
This year, the League of Women Voters celebrates its 95th anniversary.
Every January we mark the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC. It has become an occasion when we acknowledge the damaging effects of the decision while strengthening our resolve to address the problem of money in politics.
LWVUS and the League of Women Voters of Florida joined an amicus brief on a case that focuses on the constitutionality of prohibitions on direct solicitation by candidates for judicial office.
We're just one week away from our deadline to submit comments to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) regarding how "to address corruption in the political process." So far, League supporters have generated over 12,000 comments to the FEC in support of stricter disclosure regulations and narrowing the definition of coordination between candidates and outside groups.
EDITORIAL NOTE: This article was originally published on President MacNamara's Huffington Post blog.
As 2015 approaches, the League is considering the role that we can play on many of our priority issues. We see plenty of opportunity at different levels of government for good things to happen on League issues. Federally, it's not just Congress that will be taking action on the issues we care about, as we saw this year, decisions will also be made by the President and agencies of the federal government.
Here's a sample of some of the important work for the League in 2015.
The League and other coalition partners sent a letter to President Obama urging him to veto the Omnibus Appropriations bill. The bill includes the most corrupting campaign finance provisions ever created.

New Oil, Gas Leases Rising to the Top
Expiring Deals Bring New Opportunities
June 29, 2014
MOUNDSVILLE — Mineral rights owners, take note: if you leased your gas and oil rights a few years ago and drilling hasn't taken place, then it is possible for you to cash in a second time on your......
a landowner cant get a lease bonus upfront if the previous lease owner re-ups.. so there cant be any up front money till lease goes into effect.. Then of course... going to a lawyer will do 2 things for you directly.. 1. cost you money. 2.allow the lawyer and his group.. most of the time.. to get you into his little group to shop you to THEIR source and make more money on you... so.. be careful for sure.. and hopefully you get in with a good company that will actually pay and take care of you.

The play captured the feeling of the book well, and the emotions and contradictions of the civil war. at times it was hard to hear some of the actors. At 3 hours, it was a bit long, but did not drag.

My husband and I found the performance to be very insightful and thought provoking. We left the theater with a better understanding of the Civil War.

I thought the performance was exceptional, and I would without reservation recommend this show to anyone, whether they were interested in history or not.

If it wasn't the Steppenwolf doing this play, it would have been interminable. Sometimes (often) novels don't make the best source material for plays; this one suffered from too many characters and too little chance for the excellent actors to...continued

The Discreet Charm of the CBC
Eatock, Colin, Queen's Quarterly
The CBC's contribution to classical music in Canada remains enormous, and there are now few areas in this immense country that do not receive Radio Two's transmission--with CD reviews, live concert broadcasts, and programs focusing on young Canadian talent, international stars, and local music festivals. Often embattled by budget cutters, or accused of cultural elitism, the voice of Radio Two nonetheless continues to stake out a small classical corner in Canada's airwaves, albeit surrounded on all sides by Britney, Slim Shady, and Shania.
THIS is an article about the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Specifically, it's about the CBC's Radio Two; and, more specifically, it's about the classical music programming on this network. To some, this may seem like a small focus of concern: English-language Radio (both Radio Two and the talk-oriented Radio One network) consumes just 11 percent of the whole CBC's $1.5 billion annual budget, and only about 3 percent of Canadians listen to Radio Two on weekdays. But for those Canadians who love classical music, the network provides the most abundant--and, in many parts of the country, the only--source of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms on radio. And for our classical performers and composers, the CBC is crucial, offering these musicians their first, last, and only hope for national exposure over the airwaves.
Those who do tune in probably have a general idea of what Radio Two (formerly known as CBC Stereo) is all about. It's not as classical as it was a decade or more ago: nowadays, rock, jazz, folk, world music, and other genres are also represented. But during daytime and the prime-time evening hours, the lion's share of the schedule is still given over to more than a dozen different classical (or partly classical) shows, each with its own specific format. Indeed, Radio Two's clearly delineated programming, running the gamut from full-length concert and opera broadcasts to short selections from compact discs, seems designed to cultivate both distinctiveness and familiarity. If Music and Company is broadcasting its weekly "In the Shadow" feature about lesser-known composers, it must be Thursday.
BEYOND RADIO TWO'S weekly schedule, there are many ways in which the CBC supports classical music that many listeners may not realize. That's something that Mark Steinmetz, the director of CBC Radio Music--the department that produces most of Radio Two's content, and also some Radio One shows--would like to change. "We're out there recording concerts across the country," he told me when I visited the CBC's Toronto headquarters, "and many people sitting in the audience at these concerts may not know we're there. On the whole, I think people don't know how much effort goes into recording concerts, turning them around and putting them on air."
Steinmetz went on to explain that concert broadcasting is just the tip of the Radio Music iceberg. He mentioned the CBC's competitions for young performers, young composers, and choirs that foster Canadian talent; and he pointed out that Radio Music runs the Vancouver-based CBC Radio Orchestra--the only remaining radio orchestra in North America--and also the On Stage concert series at Toronto's Glenn Gould Studio. And closely allied to Radio Music's activities are CBC Records, which issues about two dozen CDs a year featuring Canadian performers and composers, and CBC Galaxie, which offers 45 channels of music programming via cable television services.
As well, he told me about a new Radio Two weekday afternoon program, currently in development, which will be broadcast from the CBC's Ottawa studios, debuting on October 4. Veteran broadcaster Eric Friesen will host "a mostly classical format," in which "musicians will be able to play and talk." Finally, Steinmetz gave me some documents, including one entitled "Canadian Music Organizations with whom CBC Network Radio Music has an Enduring Relationship. …

After a wait that seemed to take foreveeeeeer, my Lynskey R330 was picked up on Friday. I had the shop that was doing the build do a couple of upgrades at this point, just because it made sense to do them during the assembly verses taking things apart later to put them in. I have some other things like wheels and such that I want to put on later, but for now I am going to ride it like a stole it. Unfortunately, I have only had the time to put 7 mile on it. Still in that short ride, I found some chip seal and hills and really think that I am going to love my new bike
So, some roadie appropriate pics are in order.

Peter Kendall, the NFU president said that while demand for food is expected to remain steady, the production of milk, crops, meat and other products could slide.
In his New Year message, Mr Kendall said: "In talking at length to farmers across the country, many of them report some real threats to their businesses. The credit squeeze is making a major dent in producers' confidence in dealing with the high costs of farm inputs like animal feed, fertiliser and diesel.
"Dairy farmers tell me that milk production will fall to perilously low levels, and I know from my own farm that wheat production could tumble as arable farmers contend with the legacy of poor autumn sowing and growing conditions.
"Sheep farmers are appalled at the prospect of the hugely complex and, frankly, pointless prospect of electronically tagging every one of their sheep. The horticultural sector is being squeezed remorselessly by the retailers who are continuing to use ruthless methods when dealing with suppliers in order to keep their costs down."
Mr Kendall expressed particular concern for the dairy industry where production has fallen to a level which requires an increasing reliance on imports.
He said: "Many dairy farmers are anxiously waiting to see whether the spring will bring stability, or the same price pressures that have seen a collapse in prices around the EU. On top of that they are facing costs in excess of £50,000 per farm to install slurry storage to meet EU regulations.
"Last year's wheat harvest was both the biggest and the wettest in memory. Up to between ten and 15 per cent of land now lies unsown and many crops around the country have failed to grow because of the cool, wet autumn and winter. I anticipate that last year's record harvest may be followed by an equally dramatic fall in production during 2009, turning the UK from a net exporter into a break-even position.
The NFU expects milk production next year to be 8 per cent below its 2000 peak at 12.85 billion litres while the wheat harvest could drop by 1.4 million tons from the 17.45 million tons collected this year.
