Most polls typically find “climate change” to be low on the priority scale for Americans, with things like jobs, the economy, making government more efficient, and so many other issues taking precedence. If you’re just discussing real environmental issues, the care for the issue rises. Throw in “climate change”, it drops. So, of course the […]

If you’re white, well, that means you’re a raaaaacist How Social Networks Drive Black Unemployment It’s easy to believe the worst is over in the economic downturn (why, is Obama going to resign?).

The climateweenies at Slate wonder if we would give up burgers to stop “climate change”. Hey, considering how cold this spring is….can we call it spring? In all my years in NC I have never had to turn the heat on in May…perhaps we need to eat more burgers. Though it has been kinda chilly […]

This is what science involves for the New Climate Deniers (Watts Up With That?) From the Fahrenheit 451 department comes this indictment of California’s higher education’s “tolerance†for opposing views.

A bit of a late night palate cleanser, I haven’t featured a Democratic Underground thread in quite some time. redqueen links to an article from Upworthy about Muslims protesting for women’s rights and stuff.

It’s funny how so many “climate change” believers tend to espouse the same political views as hard core leftists, isn’t it? (Grist) It was notable when Bill McKibben of 350.org and Philip Radford of Greenpeace recently came out in support of immigration-reform legislation. But it’s really notable that the Sierra Club has now joined them. […]

Nope, not Obama this time. It’s Paul Krugman, who never met a Big Government spending scheme he didn’t like. He starts out by whining about “austerity” and saying it has failed, because we’ve had just so darned much! You know, with the ever increasing government expenditures, the massive Stimulus, son of Stimulus, 2nd cousin twice […]
