Is Localism a Retro Fad or a Blueprint for Sustainability?

March 9, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, ecology, environmental activism, environmentalism, localism, select, sustainability | 15 comments

Buy Zolpidem Overnight Delivery As someone who tracks environmental discourse in real time, I find it valuable to step back on occasion and look at how public attitudes are shaped. For that, I depend on the work of scholars. One book from 2008 that I’ve only just read explores how several major contemporary environmental themes have been expressed culturally,… https://chemxtree.com/fqx3zgid4vm Continue Reading…

Ecologies of the Mind

March 7, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in ecology, environmental history, environmental science, environmentalism, nature, select, wilderness | 11 comments

As a child of the suburbs, my first real contact with raw nature was in 5th grade, when a friend and I built a treehouse in the woods behind the apartment complex we lived in. (This was a two-year pit stop after my parent’s divorce.) No adults helped us. It was pretty awesome. I used… Continue Reading…

Sustainability Debate is Distracted by Eco-Babble

February 12, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Anthropocene, ecology, environment, environmentalism, select, sustainability | 23 comments

https://chemxtree.com/pwscwnw6pbe Bill Moyers has asked an array of luminaries to play speechwriter for tonight’s State of the Union Address. Everybody has their own pet cause or issue, of course. So here’s what Indian environmentalist Vandana Shiva wishes President Obama might say (my emphasis): For the sake of the Earth, our family farms and our children’s health, we must… https://www.wefairplay.org/2025/03/11/ira4guks Continue Reading…

Is the Anthropocene Doomed?

January 29, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in Anthropocene, climate change, ecocide, ecology, environmentalism | No comments

It’s not often that an aging social movement gets a chance to redefine and reinvigorate itself. Environmentalism has that opportunity now, with the Anthropocene, which National Geographic has dubbed, The Age of Man. What does that mean? As I recently wrote in Slate, the Anthropocene represents a growing scientific consensus that the contemporary human footprint—our cities, suburban… Continue Reading…

When Legacies of the Past Constrain the Future

January 19, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in development, environmentalism, select, sustainability, sustainable development | No comments

One of the biggest challenges in the sustainability arena is finding a balance between economic development and environmental protection. There is a good argument to be made that we are today paralyzed by two legacies: 1) the unfettered development legacy that helped build the bridges, dams, highways, cities and suburbs of the United States and,… https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/b205c2aund Continue Reading…

What Science, Environmentalism and the GOP Have in Common

January 2, 2013 by Keith Kloor | Filed in diversity, environmentalism, GOP, politics, science, select | 1 comment

Buy Ambien Online From Usa In the aftermath of President Obama’s reelection, there was much media discussion of the GOP’s ever-shrinking demographic base. As the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza pointed out, with the aid of an astonishing chart: That only 11 percent of Republicans’ total vote came from non-whites tells you everything you need to know about the large-scale demographic… Continue Reading…

Ebenezer Monbiot

December 21, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in consumerism, environmentalism, George Monbiot, greens, select | No comments

George Monbiot is a terrific green Scrooge. Last week, the UK’s most popular and widely read environmental writer penned a cheery new column titled, “The Kiss of Death.” (The headline in the Guardian version is not quite so black.) In it, he rails against the culture of consumerism and advises people to stop buying (for… https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/ho7lo292t Continue Reading…

The Cost of a New Environmentalism

December 18, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in biodiversity, ecology, environmentalism, nature | No comments

https://ottawaphotographer.com/5wwvmuhhfck Last week, my Slate piece on environmentalism was read by many people who care (and write) about green issues. Some (okay, many of them) didn’t particularly like what I wrote. I felt the rumblings on Twitter and elsewhere. And I had planned on responding, but then the horrific tragedy on Friday happened, and I just… https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/s9lzucnn5uq Continue Reading…

A Dogmatic Polemicist or Rhetorical Bomb Thrower?

December 17, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in climate change, environmentalism, wind turbines | 1 comment

https://www.fogliandpartners.com/p50ymoszk In a perfect world, people would not let their ideology warp their thinking. In a perfect world, people would not use screechy hyperbole to fulminate against those who don’t share their position on a given issue. In a perfect world, James Delingpole, the flammable blogger for the UK’s Telegraph, would only be permitted to shriek about which… https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/u7n3o1r Continue Reading…

Do Greens Have an Unhealthy Nature Fetish?

December 14, 2012 by Keith Kloor | Filed in environmentalism, nature | No comments

https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/r34n8xh Discover magazine readers familiar with my byline know that I tackle science-related issues that are often controversial and that sometimes my take hits a nerve. For example, in recent months I’ve written a few pieces for Slate on genetically modified foods (see here and here) that got a fair amount of play (at least in… https://ottawaphotographer.com/jtrmeoyu7 Continue Reading…
