During the Live Earth Concert Ben Affleck offered his solution to Global Climate Change and demonstrated just how out of touch Hollywood continues to be on important issues. The artsy, filmed in an Herb Ritz edgy black and white, PSA had Ben rocking out on his iPod. His voiceover suggested that the next time [...]

As a follow-up to my recent item on geo-engineering, it looks like cooler heads are prevailing, at least in one area. As the Washington Post reported last Friday, a company called Planktos is planning to dump 80 tons of iron particles into the Pacific in hopes that it will stimulate the growth of carbon-consuming plankton.
If [...]

What does Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-MN) have in common with Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan?

And Gov. Pawlenty deserves to be here on this red-state (conservative) but green-green (entrepreneurial [...]

This issue needs less “Earth” and more urge.
As promised, I didn’t watch it live, and/but I have streamed some video of a favorite or two. I could use this post to enumerate various (or vacuous) hypocrisies, but other news accounts did that just fine.

Former Vice President Al Gore’s New York Times op-ed yesterday shows again why his approach to climate change antagonizes conservatives, even climate-concerned conservatives like me.
