A Conundrum Haunts Climate Debate

November 28, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, development, Energy, global warming | 90 comments

This tweet caught my eye: Prof Joachim Schellnhuber, at @PIK_climate: “Stabilizing the climate and combating poverty is largely the same thing” #COP20Lima — Damian Carrington (@dpcarrington) November 28, 2014 A greater elaboration on this statement by Joachim Schellnhuber, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, can be read here. It starts out this… https://www.andrewlhicksjrfoundation.org/uncategorized/ccxggzcc Continue Reading…

Facing Up to the Anthropocene

June 20, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Anthropocene, climate change, Energy, environment, environmentalism | 46 comments

Ambien Mastercard Several years ago, I wrote about about an insurrection in the environmental movement. A new group of greens–called eco-pragmatists–had taken on the old nature-centric guard, which still held sway but also had rendered environmentalism anachronistic and ill-equipped to address complex 21st century challenges, such as climate change. It was a battle between what I called… https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/83mq525gl7 Continue Reading…

https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/k6q8hzeo Guest post by Candace Sheppard Wind energy production in New York State is expected to double in the next five years. Photo by U.S. Department of Energy. A day after a study was released last week about wind turbines killing more than 600,000 bats in the United States in 2012, the Environment America Research Policy Center released its second report about… https://www.salernoformazione.com/c9h0v55ig0 Continue Reading…

Should the Precautionary Principle Shut Down Wind Turbines?

November 18, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in birds, ecology, Energy, environment, environmental journalism, wildlife, wind farms, wind turbines | 86 comments

https://hazenfoundation.org/d2y3ago1e In 2012 Scientific American asked: Are Wind Turbines Getting More Bird and Bat-Friendly? In case you weren’t aware, wind energy has an ecological downside that’s hasn’t yet been smoothed out. As AP reporter Dina Cappiello wrote earlier this year, “the green industry is allowed to do not so green things”: It kills protected species with impunity and conceals the… https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/csvc4l7 Continue Reading…

Why Is New York City's Air Getting Cleaner?

October 9, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Energy, environment, environmental justice, fracking, natural gas | 6 comments

https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/im3tl9p Several weeks ago, this was the headline for a press release: Mayor Bloomberg announces New York City’s air quality has reached the cleanest levels in more than 50 years. That’s quite a claim. Most media outlets reporting this story cut and pasted from the press release; few bothered to delve into the report Bloomberg was… Ordering Zolpidem Online Continue Reading…

About that War on Energy

October 3, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, Energy, oil & gas, select | 7 comments

If you thought that the U.S. government shutdown was the top story at the Wall Street Journal today (print edition), you would be wrong. Instead, this headline took the honor: U.S. Rises to No. 1 Energy Producer Whoa. This wasn’t supposed to happen until 2017, according to recent projections by the International Energy Agency. But some… https://www.scarpellino.com/ufakhghva17 Continue Reading…

Our Fraught Relationship with Technology

September 19, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Anthropocene, climate change, Energy, environment, environmentalism, fracking, global warming, select | 6 comments

For those of us fortunate enough to be born into the right circumstances, life is good, with antibiotics, modern dentistry, vaccines, climate-controlled homes, big-screen TV’s, smart phones. The sum of this, however, is worrying to some: What is the toll to the planet, to the ecosystems that support us and the rich diversity of animals and… Continue Reading…

Is Peak Oil Dead or Just Postponed?

July 18, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Energy, peak oil, select, sustainability | 99 comments

Several months ago, I wondered if the media’s fascination with peak oil, which crested in the mid-2000s, had ended. A big concern of many in the energy/sustainability nexus had found expression in popular culture and in visuals like this: But now the zeitgeist has flipped, from crude awakening to crude abundance, thanks to advances in… https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/9axc5104 Continue Reading…

If I Were a Coal Executive

July 11, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, coal, Energy, environmentalism, select, shale gas | 18 comments

If I were a coal executive I wouldn’t worry about a solar and wind revolution (see Germany’s Energiewende) or President Obama putting me out of business. I’d be worried about the shale gas revolution (and I’d hope environmentalists were successful in stopping it). If I were a coal executive, I’d want fear to continue dominating public discussion of nuclear… https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/4qsdc8sy Continue Reading…

Climate Game Changers

May 20, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, coal, Energy, environment, select | 20 comments

In a recent report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) lamented: The picture is as clear as it is disturbing: the carbon intensity of the global energy supply has barely changed in 20 years, despite successful efforts in deploying renewable energy. Another fact, noted in the IEA’s report, will disturb anyone concerned about climate change: The unremitting… Continue Reading…
