Hurricane!

Local public radio is going carbon neutral, too!

I posted earlier about an Australian website hosting company going carbon neutral. I just read that Yahoo intends to do so as well this year.

Massive insurance claims from the 2005 hurricane season have left Citizens Fund Insurance overwhelmed, even two years later.

Based on the latest report from the state-run Citizens Fund Insurance, it seems that even if there has been no wrong-doing, there is at best been gross incompetence by the top management of the agency and those which oversee the agency.

Is the Supreme Court's recent decision based on a logical fallacy?

The Supreme Court, the finest judicial minds in the nation, supposedly, have demanded the EPA supply them with a negative proof. Negative proof, of course, is a logical fallacy. In this case, the EPA is being asked to prove that it is impossible that ’greenhouse gasses’ contribute to climate change. Since proving something is impossible is, well, impossible, that makes it fairly difficult.

Looking at the root cause of climate change.

But here’s the thing. Your house consumes a whole lot more energy and produces a whole lot more CO2 each year than even driving a hummer to work every day. More energy is consumed each day by homes than by shops, offices or other buildings such as schools or hospitals.
