Perhaps one of the adults at Grist, and, being Grist, I use the term “adults” loosely, had some words with Christopher Mims over yesteday’s insane post (I covered here yesterday) Update: The intent of this piece isn’t to attribute today’s tragedy to climate change.

I really, really, really wanted to avoid posting something like this today, after the tragedy in Japan. Despite being the best prepared country in the world for earthquakes and tsunamis, we know that the damage and death toll will continue to rise.

Darn. Just as I gave Treehugger some props for mostly avoiding globull warming over the past few weeks (I wrote that post in the a.m.), and left a comment over at Treehugger offering some kudos, I guess they decided to to tell me to GFMS, and went on an AGW tear. This one’s probably the […]

I think I can say with confidence that we have finally reached that point with the anthropogenic global warming crowd, if this bit of insanity is any indication (via Tom Nelson) Better begin preparations now for rising temperatures this century. That message was […]
