The Eric Garner march in Staten Island
So back in August, I became part of the Staten Island protest march to mark the murder of Eric Garner at the hands of the NYPD and call for justice. I had posted an article about the march and the still-simmering problems in Ferguson on Planet POV, a new blogsite for progressive types about political […]
Climate change, Peak Oil and AGW Denialists
About a month ago I used my ‘politics’ segment of my radio segment on Sex and Politics to talk to Marlo Lewis, a frequent go-to expert on climate matters for Fox News. Marlo Lewis is with the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and while we mistakenly identified him as a ‘climate change denier’, that isn’t exactly true. His contention […]
The Monday after the People’s Climate March
On Sunday I reposted Peter Sinclair’s ‘Tipping Point‘ article about the hundreds of thousands who took to the street to protest against government inaction on climate change. Today’s post is not a post about passing the climate tipping point as suggested by Guy McPherson. Instead, it’s a public tipping point. I’m suggesting you read another […]

Climatezilla–on a Youtube Channel near you
This is a video put together by the wonderful folks at the People’s Puppets of Occupy Wall Street. They’re heavily participating in the People’s Climate March, happening on September 21.

Sex and Politics welcomes back Karl Grossman
This Friday on Sex and Politics, I’ll be talking to our friend Karl Grossman, an award-winning journalist who’s covered issues around nuclear power since the 1970’s. We’ll be talking about Fukushima–specifically, what we aren’t hearing ever since the Japanese government started prosecuting journalists for covering the controversies around the accident. Insiders are reporting that the […]
Bicycling and stuff, 10,000 miles
In all the discussion of human extinction and the economy crashing and the other things I bring up on this blog, there was a literal milestone I passed earlier today. This is my 10,000 mile Rans V-Rex. This AM, I crossed the 10,000 mile mark. I’ve owned the bike since 2009, with a long break […]
