"Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet" explores the ways climate change has already changed the planet.

High-octane reaction to my middle-of-the-road column today, e-mailed by one Greg Beale: Your piece today was interesting, although wrongheaded. You quoted Barry Goldwater, whose optimism you subscribe to; but you flew right by an important part "if man does...

On Thursday, March 1 at 7:00 p.m., Dr. Peter Joseph will present, “The Climate Crisis:  Science vs. Denial” at First United Methodist Church, located at 1825 East Street in downtown Redding. Dr. Joseph is an emergency physician trained by the Climate Reality Project to help educate the public about the devastating impa

Three high priests of manmade global warming — "Moonbeam" Gov. Jerry Brown, United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change hack Rajendra Pachauri, and ex-Governator Schwarzenegger — insist that we wake up from our somnolent indifference to their idolatrous obsession with rising carbon dioxide.

How many times this year have we heard the word "historic" used during our recent weather forecasts? Many records were broken this year, according to the reports. I am worried for the next generations. I want to leave them a planet to live on like the one I have grown up on.

One widely predicted potential side effect of a warmer climate is greater winter and spring floods, as storms bring mountain rain instead of snow -- and thus heavier runoff. Of course, we have one of the world's biggest flood-control dams...

Shasta County's conservative residents tend to be skeptical about global warming and especially the liberal Legislature's drive to reduce California's "carbon footprint."

Shasta County's conservative residents tend to be skeptical about global warming and especially the liberal Legislature's drive to reduce California's "carbon footprint."

As if the real or feared threats to California's forests — wildfire, drought, suburban sprawl, bark beetles, global warming, clear-cutting, reckless off-roading — weren't enough to deal with, U.S. Forest Service researchers have discovered a new peril.

And that is setting him profoundly at odds with the most vocal GOP activists, as The Washington Post reports. I don't know what the heck to do about global warming, but I do know that when a political party that...

Occasionally, I read articles on an online science newsletter called Science Daily. While recently scrolling through the various articles about nature, I found one concerning Joshua trees. Since I recently went on a trip to Joshua Tree National Park, the article intrigued me. The following article describes the results of s

You can, on the one hand, listen to Bill McKibben, who says the raging Midwest and Southern tornadoes are still another sign of global warming doom. Or you can listen to Harold Camping, who recently announced the world would go kaput not too long after Christians were sent heavenward on May 21 by none other than God himself

So argues this Berkeley energy analyst. From the Business Times of San Francisco: People growing marijuana indoors use 1 percent of the U.S. electricity supply, and they create 17 million metric tons of carbon dioxide every year (not counting the...

Because Republicans in Congress have steadfastly stymied attempts to get the federal government to act against global warming and climate change, critics of California's new carbon trading rules usually get little contradiction when they insist those regulations will see this state going it alone and putting itself at a

At the Guardian, George Monbiot writes that heavy snow in London or New York might indeed have roots in a warming planet. Huh? How's that? Well, for starters, you've got to look at the whole weather map. The global temperature...

George Will hits the heart of the real dilemma when it comes to global warming. Today, about half of America's and the world's electricity is generated by coal, the substance that, since it fueled the Industrial Revolution, has been a...

In pushing to suspend California’s “cap and trade” system to curb carbon dioxide emissions via November’s failed Proposition 23, opponents of the anti-global warming law argued that the state’s wobbly economy cannot afford the added burden of higher energy costs that the law will inevitably

Lassen Volcanic National Park will participate in a multiple park project designed to survey rocky areas for pika, use DNA to quantify gene flow between areas where pika are present, and conduct a quantitative vulnerability assessment that explicitly predicts pika response to climate change. The American pika is a small mem

I was very disappointed to read Dr. Richard Malotky’s two recent articles regarding global warming. One of the most distressing things was Dr. Malotky’s need to disparage the motives of scientists doing research in this field and mock the intelligence of people who disagree with him. To be fair, there have al

Proposition 23, which would suspend the state's key law to fight global warming, seems to have great symbolic value -- and would make a statement about where the people's priorities are -- but it would it have much effect? Read...

This Sunday at 10 a.m., on fellow blogger Doug Craig's new radio show ("Wake Up Call") on KCNR1460 AM. Craig tells me he's having Murray on because he (Murray) used to be a global warming "denier" but now he's come...

Who needs global warming or nuclear bombs? We can go extinct with Cheetos and Big Gulps. We’re definitely at a precipice.

Now, most of the noise about the 10 propositions that will grace November's ballot will surely be about the initiative to legalize marijuana, to suspend the "Global Warming Solutions Act," and the giant water bond. However, a pair of related...

On Earth Day Redding architect James Theimer had some harsh words for skeptics of human-caused global warming. One harsh word, actually. At a “sustainability conference” at Shasta College he repeatedly said deniers, skeptics and even people “on the fence” about global warming were “stupid.̶

Regional planners Tuesday raised questions about whether the north state’s rural lifestyle can mesh with the kinds of changes experts say are necessary to combat global warming.

James Theimer, known locally for his environmentally sensitive architecture, in a keynote talk at Shasta College's "Sustainability Conference" Thursday (the 40th anniversary of Earth Day) said those who deny the existence of human-caused global warming and those "sitting on the...

Barack Hussein Obama won the highest honor that the elitists of the international left can bestow on one of their own. His very own Nobel Peace Prize. Imagine that! And what has our president done to deserve this lofty honor? Why, in the words of an infamous “Saturday Night Live” sketch, nothing, absolutely nothing. I�

James Hansen is a scientist who is regarded as the world's authority on global warming and climate change. He is also a grandfather who sees a train coming down the tracks, and his grandkids are on that train. There's a bridge out up ahead. Nobody seems to see it - what do you do?,

At least in eastern hardwood forests, they don't seem to mind the longer growing seasons. From ScienceDaily: Speed is not a word typically associated with trees; they can take centuries to grow. However, a new study in the Proceedings of...

The Obama administration was embarrassed by a series of revelations about its most radical actions, assumptions, and associations in 2009. While Fox News and the conservatives on talk radio and the Internet broke and developed these stories, Americans following only the "mainstream" media would never have heard these report

That’s it! Go ahead and bury us. Call the Chinese and tell them we are walking away from our loans. They can have whatever they want and give what’s left of the country back to the Indians (Native Americans). With massive unrest over health care reform, fear of renewed terrorist attacks, extreme cold g

Doug Craig usually blogs about global warming. But this blog'll warm your heart. Thanks, Doug. Happy Thanksgiving!...
