Got your reusable grocery bags?

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.

Investigating inactivism

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.

“Climate contrarian” list detector

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?)

Robert C. Balling Jr on local radio

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.

Exxon ads in NYTimes

(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!

New Action – Talking back to ExxonMobil

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…

Priorities

Dick Purcell said:

… 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 …
