I made these “reminder sign” images last year; but I’d like to make them available to all.
Here’s the Dot Earth Action page with info on them.

Who’s running the “climate inactivism” wurlitzer?
I still don’t know as much as I’d like, but I wrote up* what I have found behind one inactivism-promoting nugget, over here at Daily Kos.

I provide an algorithm, a script and some results to quantitatively distinguish between a list of contrarians and a list of true “global warming experts”.
(alas it’s not all automated, you still have to – type name, hit search, select, copy, paste
– for each name you check. Does anyone know how to accrete Greasemonkey results, or run multiple searches from within the same instance of the script?)

He was on, I called in, then transcribed and annotated.
(Six months later* – the annotations are wrapped up. Many belated thanks to commenters for their contributions.)
Take-home message from the experience: callers would do well to be better prepared, and guests would do well not to lose their cool.

(This is a test post-via-email, using a newly-set-up account at http://www.Posterous.com.)
Here is a photo spread of ExxonMobil ads, mostly? all? from the NYTimes; “The ads shown in that picture . . . the large majority of them were over a one-week period!”
“Not a typical week. But, that said, they do run ads (half-page, quarter page, etc.) frequently.”
Thanks to Jeff H for the photo!

Jeff Huggins took action, conceiving, writing, funding and placing a message in the weekly newspaper of the Harvard Business School. Read his account here (which includes a link to the “Talking Back to ExxonMobil” Advertorial itself (PDF))
And you? What actions can you take? Use your imagination…

… there is still and will long remain too much confusion about the priorities: what dangers are greatest? How colossally great? (Very.) What actions best to reduce them soonest? We still need to zero in on what to focus on …
Your thoughts?

This blog is intended to facilitate our moving out of being enmired in blog comment back-and-forth, and into making a difference.
(Some of us already tried a (private) pbwiki but it petered out _very_ rapidly and was, in retrospect, pretty much a waste of time. (my idea, natch…))
fyi, I also – months back – set up a local site, a web forum, for climate action, NevadaCountyCAN.org – which in retrospect was poor judgment, the scale’s too small (mine is a small, semi-rural community) – I found myself the only one contributing, and next to no one was reading.
(and yes, this could have been because of what I was contributing)
So I’m an expert in how *not* to do these things…
there’s also 350.org for action, which is aimed at the (very general) public.
I want the Daily Kos for climate change activism.

Anna here.
I wrote Dot Earth Defender, a 2000+ line [now-defunct] script that runs with your browser (Firefox, with Greasemonkey add-on) to transform the comments section at Dot Earth from a modern-day La Brea Tar Pits to – we hope – a locus for collective action.
There’s now a separate page for Dot Earth Defender on this (dotearthaction) site, with more info.
