The global warming “debate” is heating up once again…
In the last few months, the 2007 report by United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has come under attack. In a nutshell, the IPCC report found that global warming is real, caused by human greenhouse gas emissions, and will have disastrous effects around the world if [...]
Lent Carbon Fast (Days 1 – 6)
February 22, 2010 – 2:40 pm
The flowing entry describes some of the steps I’m taking to participate in the Carbon Fast for Lent.
1. Coffee Mug at Work.
I’d been meaning to bring a ceramic coffee mug to work for a while. I usually drink my morning coffee out of a large travel mug. A couple days a week, I either drink my [...]
Lent and the Carbon Fast
February 18, 2010 – 6:00 pm
I’ve been thinking about Lent and why people “give things up for Lent.”
Immediately before beginning his ministry, Jesus wandered in the desert. For forty days and nights, He fasted. In the desert, He endured and resisted repeated temptation by the devil. First, the devil tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread. Next, the devil tempted [...]

From yesterday’s New York Times: Global Weirding is Here by Thomas Freidman.
This article sums up so much about global warming–excuse me, global weirding. It really is a must read.
Wall St. Journal: Peak Oil–2015
February 16, 2010 – 4:53 pm
The Wall St. Journal wrote a story last week about peak oil. [“Peak oil” is when global production of oil reaches a maximum and begins decline as supply runs out.] That The Wall St. Journal ran an article discussing peak oil is interesting for a few reasons:
1. The Wall St. Journal is a conservative, [...]

The Christian Science Monitor’s environmental blog is shutting down as of today. “After 22 months and some 500 posts, the Bright Green blog is coming to an end.” The full story is here.

Smoking & Scientific “Debate”
February 4, 2010 – 6:20 pm
The time to debate the science of global warming has long past. The scientific community has come to a consensus that global warming is happening. This begs the question, “Why is there a debate?” A look at the “controversy” surrounding smoking is instructive to understanding the global warming “debate.”
In the 1950s, the medical community began [...]
100 Million Plastic Bottles a Day
February 3, 2010 – 10:27 pm
Some solutions to the global warming crisis are simple. Drinking out of a reusable container rather than buying bottled water is a simple way to consume less.
The Facts: Fifty billion bottles of water are consumed each year in the United States, about 137 million bottles every day. About one quarter of these bottles are recycled [...]
