In particular, I would call your attention [...]

Hello Everyone!
This is a note that I sent to people who joined my Project ABC group on Facebook during the last election, and I include it here in case any SLS readers are interested in joining the fight against climate change. You can help in many ways, including linking to One Blue Marble on your [...]

The Liberal Party of Canada has a new leader in Dr. Michael Ignatieff, who has been a academic at Cambridge, Harvard, Oxford, and the University of Toronto, as well as an author and documentary filmmaker.

Stories like this one fill me with hope.
D.light Design, a company that is on a mission to replace the kerosene lamps used in developing world villages, has garnered $6 million in Series A funding. While solar panels and LEDs are seldom cheap, D.light’s founders — two Stanford MBAs — have created three low-cost lighting units [...]

OK… so I’ve been licking my wounds for a week, saddened that my countrymen and women would return the Conservative Party to power, though only with a minority government, my one consoltation.
But it was a very near thing.

So… On Sunday, Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited Governor-General Michaelle Jean to ask her dissolve the Canadian parliament.
And so Canadians are going to the polls on October 14, 2008. Americans must wonder how we can get it over with so quickly
Of course, regular readers must be wondering why I’m not all over this, given [...]
Is it getting warm in here?

The United Kingdom should start taking steps to prepare for dangerous climate change of perhaps 4° Celsius or more, according to one of the country’s chief scientific advisors. The European Union has committed to limiting global emissions so that temperatures do not rise by more than 2°C, but Dr. Bob Watson, Chief Advisor to the [...]
How do we know that humanity is causing global warming?

In my recent forays into enemy territory, I’ve realized that The Anti-Global Warming Group seems to be divided into two factions. Those who look out the window on blustery, cold day and see absolutely no evidence of global warming (and so all scientists are liars and can’t be trusted)*, and those who see signs of [...]
