Obama Not Delivering the Change We Need

Posted on December 21, 2009 | Leave a comment

Reposted from Wend Magazine blog

The man selling change a year ago has given us very little at the recent Copenhagen climate talks. Makes you wonder (fret) that if Obama can’t deliver when it comes to the environment, who can?
…oh yeah, you can!
Keep conserving. Lead by example, others will follow.
Or as Ghandi succinctly put it, “We must be the change we wish to see in the world.”

CO2 Isn’t Good for You…It’s GREAT!!! (cartoon)

Mean Joe Green #75: CO2 Isn’t Good for You…It’s GREAT!!!

It’s true! According to the very intelligent folks at CO2isgreen, who have direct ties to Oil and Coal industry big wigs, more CO2 is better for us!

The Oil and Coal industries both have unlimited amounts of money, the bulk of which–I am certain–goes to research and development to make this world a better, cleaner place. So if they start a campaign called CO2isgreen with ads stating well-researched facts such as, “Higher CO2 levels than we have today would help the earth’s ecosystems…” and “more CO2 results in a ‘greener’ earth.” then, doggummit, I believe them (and I’m sure Bill McKibben does as well)!

Scroll down please. This cartoon is two panels, one on top of the other.

Mean Joe Green #70: Big Coal Claims Climate Bill Unfair

Posted on December 8, 2009 | Leave a comment

Originally posted on RedGreenandBlue.org on 8/7/09

10 Democratic Representatives from coal-dependent states sent a letter to Obama sharing that they will not support the Waxman-Markey climate and energy bill.

Sens. Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), Carl Levin (Mich.), Robert Casey (Penn.), Arlen Specter (Penn.), Robert Byrd (W.Va.), Jay Rockefeller (W.Va.), Evan Bayh (Ind.), Russell Feingold (Wis.), and Al Franken (Minn.) signed the letter saying a climate bill should “include provisions to maintain a level playing field for American manufacturing.”

A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD?!?!? Big Coal is complaining (to their senators apparently) that they are concerned about a level playing field. That is HILARIOUS!

When we last checked in our heroes from the Trust Us League were creating electricity from self-generated methane to power the red-states.

Well, these ‘green machines’ are at it again. This time doing what they can to help Mother Nature fight climate change…

Well done to those mayors!

Mean Joe Green #23: Extreme Weather Has an Audience in Denver

Posted on December 8, 2009 | Leave a comment

Tornadoes send a reminder to Democrats in Denver.

With just about every report (even one from “W” himself) linking the increase in extreme weather (floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc) to global warming, it was quite a coincidence that four tornadoes touched down near Denver on Sunday. With the Democratic National Convention beginning there on Monday, it seemed like an attempt by Mother Nature to remind the Democrats to treat climate change with the attention it deserves when they finally take the White House in a few months.

Mean Joe Green #18: G8 tells Mother Nature to Wait

Posted on December 8, 2009 | Leave a comment

We leave another G8 summit with little progress on global warming.

A vague emissions reduction goal was set–to be reached in 42 years, and without a baseline from which to begin. Seems to me the powers that be are placating the masses as they refuse to take the necessary measures to promote conservation, clean energy, etc.
Sorry Mother Nature…

Mean Joe Green #12: White House Completes a Realistic Climate Change Report 4 years late!

Posted on December 8, 2009 | Leave a comment

Originally posted on RedGreenandBlue.org on 5/30/08
The New York Times had a brief and POOR-ly titled article on the White House’s recent (and surprisingly factual) report on climate change.
The article’s title “White House: Poor Face Health Risks From Warming” may cause a reader to dismiss the article, and thus the report, in a “phew-atleast-I-don’t-face-health-risks” manner. In fact, the 271 page report forecasts coming severe weather, water shortages, heat waves and a whole slew of bad tidings for the entire world and all who dwell in, on, and over it (not just the poor). It’s a shame the report took so long–but I think it should be required reading for every american.
If only to search for Bush’s many spelling and grammar errors…

Melting ice makes life difficult for those who live on it. Just ask the Polar Bear. There are endless signs of the reality of climate change (global warming). Few more definitive than the plight of the polar bear.

There’s great info in this Treehugger article by our very own Jeff McIntire-Strasburg, and the NRDC has created polarbearSOS.org so you can get involved and stay informed about the reality of climate change as it relates to the polar bear.
