On Economic Growth, the Environment and Climate Change

October 17, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, environmentalism | 41 comments

Buy Zolpidem Overnight Delivery In the early 1970s, leading environmental scientists and writers argued that curtailing economic growth was necessary to save human civilization from eco-collapse. The material needs of society were exhausting the planet’s resources. The worrying trends were laid out in a hugely influential 1972 report and best-selling book entitled, “The Limits to Growth.” Its authors concluded (page… https://chemxtree.com/fqx3zgid4vm Continue Reading…

Facing Up to the Anthropocene

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

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… Continue Reading…

Spinning for Greenpeace

June 18, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in environmentalism, Greenpeace | 7 comments

https://chemxtree.com/pwscwnw6pbe When Greenpeace generates global headlines, it’s often for dramatic, gimmicky stunts, like scaling an oil rig or breaking into a nuclear power plant. This week, the environmental group is making news for a different kind of high stakes behavior: losing $5.1 million on a bad financial bet. It seems that a Greenpeace employee had been dabbling… https://www.wefairplay.org/2025/03/11/ira4guks Continue Reading…

Apocalypse Then

June 5, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate politics, environmentalism | 10 comments

One of the best books I’ve read in the last year is “The Bet,” by Yale historian Paul Sabin. The author penned a New York Times op-ed around the time of its publication. As Fred Pearce wrote in his New Scientist review, Saban “has produced an absorbing narrative of how two people’s ‘clashing insights’ unleashed… Continue Reading…

Eco-Pragmatism Takes Root at NYT Editorial Page

May 2, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, climate pragmatism, environment, environmentalism, global warming, New York Times, nuclear power | 17 comments

This is notable: The dangers of nuclear power are real, but the accidents that have occurred, even Chernobyl, do not compare to the damage to the earth being inflicted by the burning of fossil fuels — coal, gas and oil. That’s from an editorial in today’s New York Times, which will make for uncomfortable reading… https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/b205c2aund Continue Reading…

What is the Future for Eco-Pessimists and Pro-Nuke Greens?

April 29, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, collapse, ecocide, environmentalism, global warming, select | 43 comments

Buy Ambien Online From Usa George Monbiot, Britain’s most popular environmental writer, has arrested himself. Four prominent climate scientists recently issued a pleading letter to greens to stop opposing nuclear power. And now an influential non-profit that for years has focused on climate change is all but begging that we not close down aging nuclear reactors. What the hell is going on? I… Continue Reading…

The Merchants of Doom

March 17, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in collapse, ecocide, ecology, environmentalism | 15 comments

Paul Ehrlich and Ann Ehrlich, two long-time prominent voices in the environmental community, often speculate about the future of humanity. They recently shared this anecdote: A few years ago we had a disagreement with our friend Jim Brown, a leading ecologist. We told him we thought there was about a 10 percent chance of avoiding a… https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/ho7lo292t Continue Reading…

Environmental Groups are Flirting with Extinction

March 7, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Audubon, environmentalism, nature | 65 comments

https://ottawaphotographer.com/5wwvmuhhfck This April 22, Earth Day turns 44. The green movement is not aging well. Like today’s U.S. Republican Party, it has a diversity problem and speaks primarily to a narrow, graying demographic slice of the United States. In 2009, Francis Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) said to the New York Times: Our groups… https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/s9lzucnn5uq Continue Reading…

https://www.fogliandpartners.com/p50ymoszk If you are a regular consumer of environmental news and commentary, you are familiar with the narrative of humanity’s downfall. The story, we are told, looks like this. If we continue to ignore the danger signs while exceeding the planet’s carrying capacity, the future may get ugly. For the time being, we are on… https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/u7n3o1r Continue Reading…

What Is Bjørn Lomborg Trying to Achieve?

October 27, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, communication, environmentalism, select | 35 comments

https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/r34n8xh In the latest issue of Cosmos magazine, I have a piece on Bjørn Lomborg, who, as I write, shot to fame in 2001 with his first book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, a broad critique of the environmental movement that infuriated many ecologists and greens. The notoriety transformed the little-known Danish statistician into a globe-trotting public intellectual. Since then,… https://ottawaphotographer.com/jtrmeoyu7 Continue Reading…
