Ginna Kelly: Al Gore: "The Hard Right or the Easy Wrong?"

While we sit back and debate whether to tax carbon or develop a clean energy standard, many countries around the world like China, Spain, and Germany are acting right now. What is more radical? Doubling the size of carbon dioxide in the atmospher over the next few years or enacting conservative tools to reduce it?

They never give up: "global warming" to increase toxic bacteria | Australian Climate Madness

You have to admire their persistence. Fairfax and AFP continually churn out stories like this, regurgitated from press releases without a shred of critical thought.

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Time Magazine: Greens move on from 'climate change' to organic food movement

Environmentalists once thought that the only way to create lasting change in the U.S. and the rest of the world was by controlling our carbon emissions. Not quite. As Brian Halweil, a leading thinker on sustainable food, put it in Saturday's TED conference, "If the environmental movement is dead, then I say, 'Long live the food movement.'" Environmental and social changes are coming — and they will be served up on our dinner plates.

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: Magnetic North Is on the Move. Time to Panic?

The earth's magnetic field is weakening at an accelerating rate. It is 15% weaker than it was at the time the north magnetic pole was "discovered"—and claimed for King William IV—by a British explorer in 1831. Should we be worried?

What's more, the north magnetic pole, after meandering through Canadian islands for half a millennium, is heading off across the Arctic Ocean toward Russia at the breakneck speed of 37 miles a year. It will pass close to the geographical North Pole in a few years. With the dastardly Russians about to pinch this British heirloom, should we be doubly worried?
