Our Fraught Relationship with Technology

Buy Zolpidem Overnight Delivery 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… https://chemxtree.com/fqx3zgid4vm Continue Reading…

The Future of Conservation

July 26, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Anthropocene, conservation, conservation biology, environmentalism, select | 4 comments

I’m tempted to cut to the chase and tell you at the outset that conservationists have come a long away from the sense of urgency that in the mid-1980s gave birth to the field of conservation biology, which Michael Soule defined as a “crisis discipline.” True, for foot soldiers carrying the biodiversity flag the core mission… Continue Reading…

Which Would You Choose: Nuclear or Coal?

July 12, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, environmentalism | 25 comments

https://chemxtree.com/pwscwnw6pbe Earlier this year, I wrote a piece for Slate that probed the argument for nuclear power, which, in a nutshell, is based on the climate change imperative. I didn’t sugarcoat the serious obstacles to a nuclear build-out. I also said that solar and wind should be ramped up. At the same time, I sided with… https://www.wefairplay.org/2025/03/11/ira4guks 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… Continue Reading…

Is the Locavore Movement Built on a Lie?

April 24, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in environment, environmentalism, farmers markets, food movement, locavore, select | 34 comments

In the Fall, I walked with my son’s Kindergarten class and other parents to our local farmers market in Brooklyn. The kids had their list of items they had to find and identify (fruits, vegetables, flowers), I scored some delicious apple cider donuts, and a grand time was had by all on a blustery, sunny… https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/b205c2aund Continue Reading…

Can We Take Earth Day Seriously, While Also Mocking It?

April 22, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in earth day, environment, environmentalism, select | 3 comments

Buy Ambien Online From Usa As Reuters puts it: If the environmental movement has a high holiday, Earth Day is it. After four decades, the annual celebration of good deeds and eco-awareness in the United States is as meaningful to environmentalists as St. Patrick’s day is to the Irish. Both annual events are green and festive. One is a sanctioned… Continue Reading…

Can We Let Go of Mother Nature?

April 3, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in environment, environmentalism, nature, select | 7 comments

One of the first and best critiques I read of contemporary environmentalism appeared in a well known progressive magazine. The author took the green movement to task for its romanticization of nature and “its deep suspicion of all things technological.” He also criticized environmentalism’s demonization of biotechnology and the “crusade” waged against it, which he… https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/ho7lo292t Continue Reading…

Why Are Greens Seduced by Anti-Biotech Charlatans?

March 31, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biotechnology, environmentalism, GMOs | 61 comments

https://ottawaphotographer.com/5wwvmuhhfck To understand just how mainstream anti-GMO sentiment is within environmentalism, check out this event held several weeks ago at Audubon’s educational center in Greenwich, Connecticut. The promo: Two films and speakers about genetically engineered seeds; the history & future of farming; and why leading scientists think GMOs threaten human health and sustainabile food production systems. I really wanted to attend… https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/s9lzucnn5uq Continue Reading…

A Disturbance in the Green Movement

https://www.fogliandpartners.com/p50ymoszk My favorite environmental heretic continues to be in the news. Earlier this month, the best profile of him yet appeared in the Observer. This week, Macleans publishes an interview with Mark Lynas, the UK environmental writer who is doing more than anyone these days to challenge greens on their ideological resistance to biotechnology. Here’s an… https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/u7n3o1r Continue Reading…

https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/r34n8xh Once upon a time, long before a recent wave of ideological zealotry drove the Republican party to cleanse itself of moderates, appeals for GOP comity were often couched in Ronald Reagan’s eleventh commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican In liberal and environmental circles, a similar dictate seems to now hold, with respect… https://ottawaphotographer.com/jtrmeoyu7 Continue Reading…
