Inter Press Service: Addressing antibiotic resistance will require a global political response similar to the way the world has reacted to climate change or HIV / AIDS, Sweden's Minister of Public Health Gabriel Wikstrom, told IPS recently. "(These problems) began with a small group of experts discussing and trying to warn the rest of us and it was not until it was politically addressed that it really became an issue that was solvable." "Of course (with antibiotic resistance) we have many technical issues still...

That 70s myth: Did climate science really call for a coming ice age?

Ars Technica: One of the undying, zombie-like arguments against climate change is that you cant trust climate scientists because they started out making doom and gloom claims about global cooling in the 1970s. But this, along with many other things comedian Dennis Miller has said on late night talk shows, neednt be taken seriously. By the time fears of an ice age reached the public's attention, there was a long history of concerns about warming. The idea that burning fossil fuels would warm the planet can...

Washington Post: If you want to understand why it is that on a planet wracked by climate change, people still dont talk much about climate change, then this may be the key: Theyre people. Or, more specifically, theyre evolved social mammals who are acutely attuned to how they are perceived by the other evolved social mammals around them -- and reasonably so, because those perceptions greatly influence their own lives. Such is the upshot of new research on why people self-silence when it comes to climate...

Voice of America: How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Cant Change is the latest movie from filmmaker and climate activist Josh Fox. The movie is the third film in a three-part series about climate change. In 2010, Americas Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominated Foxs documentary Gasland for its highest award -- an Oscar. Gasland explored fracking, the hotly debated process of removing natural gas from the ground. He examined the subject again in Gasland II, the...

The government is pursuing climate change policy will cause power cuts

Telegraph: The interview in last week's Sunday Telegraph with Hugh McNeal, the new head of RenewableUK, was remarkable in more ways than one. Certainly readers may have been surprised to know how easily he could switch from being a senior official at the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to running our leading lobby group for wind farms. But even more significant was the way he unwittingly exposed what appears to me to be a massive deceit now at the heart of our national energy policy. We...
