Critics of evolution are gaining ground by linking the issue to climate change, arguing that dissenting views on both should be taught in public schools.
The Impact of Food Waste On Climate Change [INFOGRAPHIC]
New research this week estimates that food wasted by the US and Europe could feed the world three times over. Food waste contributes to excess consumption of freshwater and fossil fuels which, along with methane and CO2 emissions from rotting food, impacts global climate change.
Climategate 2? More ‘private e-mails’ go public
Undaunted by a rash of scandals over the science underpinning climate change, top climate researchers are plotting to respond with what one scientist involved said needs to be "an outlandishly aggressively partisan approach"; to gut the credibility of skeptics.
Is the sky falling on global warming?
Todd Stern, America's Special Envoy for Climate Change — and people wonder where to begin cutting government — warned that those interested in "undermining action on climate change" will seize on "whatever tidbit they can find." Tidbits like specious science, and the absence of warming?
Deaf To America: Why Democrats Lost the Public’s Trust
If Democrats ram through an unpopular trillion-dollar health care bill in this climate, with Congress' approval rating at 15%, they may well cement their image as the worst of Washington and sever their claim on the public's trust for years to come.

Coral Develops ‘Skills’ to Cope With Warming
Move, adapt or die. Those are the options marine plants and animals have in the face of climate change, said Stanford biologist Steve Palumbi, who has been exploring how to help them go with the first two options, rather than the third. He's come up with some surprising answers.pa href="http://digg.com/environment/Coral_Develops_Skills_to_Cope_With_Warming"Digg/a | a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100222094803.htm"Original/a/p

Climate Change, Not A Matter Of Faith
The popular wisdom currently is that "Al Gore's climate change theory" is in big trouble due to scandals, bad science, tampered data, the coldest winter ever, and so on. Not a word of it is true of course. It's just more of the standard climate change Denier misrepresentation and outright lies.
