Showtime Premiers Star-Studded Climate Change Documentary

Slate: I've been saying for a long time that to communicate science effectively, we need to connect with people. Scientists have a habit of just relaying facts to each other, since that's how nature itself works. But people don't work that way at all, and just reciting facts doesn't work. If we want to connect with people, especially over the sound and fury of the anti-science noise machine, we need to be passionate. We need to be emotional. And we need to tell the human story. That's exactly what...

TPM: FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver said Friday that his newly re-launched site will commission a response to an article on disasters and climate change that has come under widespread scrutiny. The piece, written by Roger Pielke Jr. under the headline "Disasters Cost More Than Ever -- But Not Because of Climate Change," has drawn negative responses from The Guardian, ThinkProgress and Paul Krugman. "When you read that the cost of disasters is increasing, its tempting to think that it must...

Huffington Post: Statistician Nate Silver acknowledged to Jon Stewart Thursday night that a climate change piece on his new site FiveThirtyEight was facing some serious backlash.

Climate change: While we fiddle, the world burns & floods and parches

LA Times: Heres a statistic for you. Out of 10,855 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals last year that dealt with some aspect of global warming, all but two accepted human behavior as the primary cause. Oddly, that represents a bit of backsliding. The previous year, only one study rejected human factors, according to an annual roundup by geochemist James Lawrence Powell and reported by Salon. Science is not a theory but a process, a mechanism for distilling truth from observation. As astrophysicist...

Science Blogs: Salamanders can be a proxyindicator for climate change. Changes in salamanders have been linked to climate changes during ancient times, and in a very recent study, salamanders in the US Appalachians seem to have changed in relation to anthropogenic global warming. In fact, the changes observed in these Appalachian salamanders is quite large, very rapid, and thus, alarming. Im going to describe this study in some detail, and as a bonus for sticking with me on this, Ill throw in some entertaining...
