Common Dreams: Amidst the ongoing Fukushima disaster in Japan and the broader failure of nuclear power, a call by some scientists and others for environmentalists and green groups to embrace the energy source in the name of fighting climate change is being met with a firm rebuke. Ahead of CNN's airing this week of what critics have described as a misleading and propaganda-laced pro-nuclear film called "Pandora's Promise," four climate scientists on Sunday released a letter of their own calling on "those influencing...

Ars Technica: This weekend, four well-respected climate scientists are emphatically calling for policymakers to rethink their stances on nuclear power. The group says "opposition to nuclear power threatens humanitys ability to avoid dangerous climate change" and that nuclear power will be key "to develop[ing] an energy system that does not rely on using the atmosphere as a waste dump." Doctors Ken Caldeira (Department of Global Ecology, Carnegie Institution), Kerry Emanuel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology),...

ClimateWire: In a recent edition of NASA's "Ask a Climate Scientist" video series, scientist Joshua Willis stands in front of a black screen, makes a few goofy faces and gives a brief answer to what has become a common question about climate science. "A lot of people ask me: 'Has there been a pause in global warming because, like, temperatures aren't increasing as fast as they were a decade ago?'" Willis says. "And I always say, you know, paws are for kittens and puppies, because global warming is definitely...
