An Introduction to Climate Progress
For any first time visitors here, this post is intended as an introduction to Climate Progress. Tom Friedman described me in a 2008 column as
Joe Romm, a physicist and climate expert who writes the indispensable blog climateprogress.org.
In June 2010, Time magazine names Climate Progress one of the 25 "Best Blogs of 2010″³ — and one of the "top five blogs Time writers read daily." U.S. News & World Report featured me in their April 2009 issue as one of five "key players" who are "Driving Public Policy in Washington," writing:
In terms of his cachet in the blogosphere, Joe Romm is something like the climate change equivalent of economist (and New York Times columnist) Paul Krugman.
Rolling Stone has a list of 100 Agents of Change of which I'm #88. The RS tagline for me is "America's fiercest climate-change activist-blogger lets it rip."
I am a Senior Fellow at the Washington, DC think-and-act tank run by John Podesta, the Center for American Progress, whose Action Fund sponsors this blog. You can read a longer bio here.
I try to inform and entertain here — and be a one-stop-shop for anyone who wants the inside view on climate science, solutions, and politics. A key goal is to save readers' time, save you from wading through the sea of irrelevant information — or outright disinformation — on climate and energy that pervades the media and blogosphere.
I write from what I call a climate realist perspective — the emerging scientific view that on our current greenhouse gas emissions path we will will destroy the livability of the climate for 1,000 years. Three posts that lay out that case are:
- An illustrated guide to the latest climate science
- An introduction to global warming impacts: Hell and High Water
- NOAA stunner: Climate change "largely irreversible for 1000 years," with permanent Dust Bowls in Southwest and around the globe
I also spend a lot of time describing the solution(s), having run the federal program that helps develop and deploy virtually all of the key technologies. Fundamentally we have most of the needed technology now (or soon will), and avoiding catastrophe requires only a very small fraction of the nation's and world's wealth — one tenth of a penny on the dollar:
- An introduction to the core climate solutions
- How the world can (and will) stabilize at 350 to 450 ppm: The full global warming solution
- McKinsey 2008 Research in Review: Stabilizing at 450 ppm has a net cost near zero.
- Must read IEA report, Part 1: Act now with clean energy or face 6°C warming. Cost is NOT high — media blows the story
And I also spend a lot of time keeping readers up on the politics of energy and climate action:
- George Stephanopoulos, Nate Silver, and Marc Ambinder all seem confused about global warming and budget politics
- Hill conservatives reject all 3 climate strategies and embrace Rush Limbaugh — what does that radicalism mean for Obama, progressives, and humanity?
- The first sustainable budget in U.S. history: Obama invests in clean energy, projects cap-and-trade revenue, seeks repeal of fossil industry subsidies
And then there is the offbeat stuff:
- Jack Bauer becomes first-ever carbon-neutral torturer as Rupert Murdoch says "Climate change poses clear, catastrophic threats"
- I just learned two shocking things
- How to be as persuasive as Abraham Lincoln, Part 1: Study the figures of speech and Shakespeare
Oh, and peak oil stuff:
- Normally staid International Energy Agency says oil will peak in 2020
- Merrill: Non-OPEC production has likely peaked, oil output could fall by 30 million bpd by 2015
And the media criticism:
- How the status quo media failed on climate change
- How the press bungles its coverage of climate economics "" "The media's decision to play the stenographer role helped opponents of climate action stifle progress."
- And the 2009 "Citizen Kane" award for non-excellence in climate journalism goes to "¦
- What if the MSM simply can't cover humanity's self-destruction?
And here's one of my best written posts:

35 Responses to An Introduction to Climate Progress
This blog is fantastic for the way it conveys its information: clearly and unsentimentally, but not with any tone of fatalism. I find that I can stay well-informed about all the details of the climate crisis- its peculiar effects worldwide, its potential solutions, its key players- without being overwhelmed by unhelpful dread. If you are going to follow one blog about climate change, the environment, and alternative energy in the United States, Climate Progress is it.
Oft repeated and debunked comments which are not reality-based are censored by Joe Romm. See his comment policy. I find this most helpful as I grow weary of, on some blogs, constantly having to bat down the misinformation.
Tops in my book too. Joe gives us a great resource for very current overview that includes links to source materials. Thanks so much.
I'm wondering whether first time readers of Romm's blog would really find language like that which I've copied below truly indispensable in understanding the complexities of climate change. I've strung the following words together in the order in which they appear in one of Romm's recent blog postings — a posting in which he savages the scientist Freeman Dyson:
shame; slanders; smears; absurdly indefensible; loopy; crackpot; outlandish; rant and rave; loopiness; slander-fest; uncivil, unjustified ravings.
[JR: Spare me the fake outrage, Tom. What about your "over-heated, emotional, and undignified use of words like "sensationalism and hyperbole" to describe of "much of his work at Climate Progress." (I'm not including the link — people who really want to read the original can google it.)
You can criticize my arguments, but not my language. But you never criticize substance of my argument. This one is easy. Dyson says of the warming isn't global — that's an extreme anti-scientific statement. Then Dyson says we don't need to worry about solving global warming because we can genetically engineer carbon-engineering trees to replace our existing millions of year old eco-system. That's what a crackpot says (look up the word).
Do you agree that the warming isn't global? What's funny is that you defend Pielke's attack on the integrity of thousands of AAAS scientists. Everyone knows that you are just a Pielke partisan.
I urge new readers to read the entire Dyson post and judge for themselves.]
Romm often seems incapable of that kind of intellectually honest and mature discourse.
[I am putting you on permanent moderation for repeatedly engaging in such ad hominem attacks. The difference between you and me is that while we both engage in the strong use of language common to the blogosphere — you simply hurl the invectives without any substance and do so in defense of a do-little (i.e. Roger Pielke, Jr-esque) perspective that would, like Dyson's and Pielke's, ultimately lead to incalculable suffering and misery for the next hundred billion people to walk the planet. I think that blinkered view demands a strong response.]
Tom, not only was that a cheap shot, you're wrong on the substance:
Dyson, an 85-year old with a well-deserved reputation for long-past work in areas of physics having *nothing* to do with climate, went completely off the rails when he attacked the field of climate science generally and leading scientist Jim Hansen in particular for relying primarily on models. This is not true, and it would have been a trivial exercise for Dyson to confirm it before shooting his mouth off to the NY Times reporter. Had the reporter's primary past experience been in something other than baseball (I wish I were kidding), he might have known enough to ask Dyson an appropriate follow-up question.
In fact, climate science relies first on past climate behavior, second on modern observations, and only third on the models. The models provide important information about the possible pattern and speed of future climate change, but knowledge of the past (primarily the relationship between CO2 levels and the global climate state) and of the present rate of climate change means we don't need to consult the models to know we're headed for a world of trouble unless we reduce greenhouse gas emissions both quickly and massively.
For more detail on this, I recommend reading Hansen et al's recent and accessibly-written paper "Target Atmospheric CO2: Where should humanity aim?" (NASA Science Brief here, full text of paper here here). The abstract (with the sentence proving my point bolded):
"Paleoclimate data show that climate sensitivity is ~3°C for doubled CO2, including only fast feedback processes. Equilibrium sensitivity, including slower surface albedo feedbacks, is ~6°C for doubled CO2 for the range of climate states between glacial conditions and ice-free Antarctica. Decreasing CO2 was the main cause of a cooling trend that began 50 million years ago, the planet being nearly ice-free until CO2 fell to 450±100 ppm; barring prompt policy changes, that critical level will be passed, in the opposite direction, within decades. If humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on Earth is adapted, paleoclimate evidence and ongoing climate change suggest that CO2 will need to be reduced from its current 385 ppm to at most 350 ppm, but likely less that. The largest uncertainty in the target arises from possible changes of non-CO2 forcings. An initial 350 ppm CO2 target may be achievable by phasing out coal use except where CO2 is captured and adopting agricultural and forestry practices that sequester carbon. If the present overshoot of this target CO2 is not brief, there is a possibility of seeding irreversible catastrophic effects."
I almost fell out of my chair this morning when I saw the column – congrats! (you putting something in his water?)
Now not only is Friedman repeatedly dissing DotEarth but he's quoting the Washington Post!!!!! – I wouldn't want to be in the NYTimes news room this week. ;)
Hey, or maybe the Times could actually reflect and change – and provide meaningful and integrated coverage of climate change…..on the front pages of their paper.
Doubt it – I think a cat-fight is more the order of the day… Gotta love Friedman for calling them on it though!
Joe, let me add my congratulations for that ever-growing pile of well-deserved accolades. Not all that long ago I was hoping the new administration would be able to twist your arm into coming to work for them, but now I live in dread of that happening since I can't imagine CAP finding anyone to replace you!
For new readers of this site who want to learn more, I want to suggest two key resources in addition to the indispensable Climate Progress:
1) The RealClimate blog, which is the best source for understanding and keeping up with current climate science. Post frequency is about one per week, plus there's an archive stretching back about five years.
2) Jim Hansen's e-mail list; see here for subscription instructions and links to recent e-mails. Frequency is about one every two weeks.
Joe has other resources listed on the right side-bar.
(Note to Joe: Speaking of resources, I'm afraid it's time to lose the Accuweather blog, as about every third post these days has a denialist slant. You might consider replacing it with the uniformly excellent Wunderground climate blog written by Ricky Rood, formerly of NASA and currently a UMichigan prof.)
"shame; slanders; smears; absurdly indefensible; loopy; crackpot; outlandish; rant and rave; loopiness; slander-fest; uncivil, unjustified ravings."
Well, Tom. That's our Joe.
Just an excitable boy….
Tom Yulsman,
When people lie and say stupid things, it's appropriate to call them liars and idiots. I note that you don't address or falsify anything that Romm has written about Dyson.
Your argument – "we must be nice otherwise we lose the argument" – is the same one that's been levelled at PZ Myers (http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/) in his assault on creationism / religion. Myers' blog is the most popular science blog on the 'net. He just landed a column at the Guardian. His readers evidently appreciate his straight-talking, abrasive delivery. Calling liars and idiots out for what they are is a
No, the Deniers and the idiocy they peddle need to be exposed for what it is. Joe does that very well and does not "undermine his credibility" with his forthright delivery – quite the opposite – he enhances it.
However, you are correct in one thing – this may not be the blog for you if you need sugar-coated false civility in order to be informed and persuaded.
Joe Romm is a true American hero and a role model for anyone imagining that what they themselves do matters.
I think a lot of lesser writers are frustrated by Romm's truly stunning capacity for real-time critical analysis.
U.S. readers new to Joe's blog can easily scroll through and feel a surge of pride that such comprehensive in-depth expertise is available to the public.
Readers abroad can, and do, note that it is unclear whether anything else even remotely approaches Climate Progress.
Different writers will have different ideas about how to communicate effectively. But every now and then tragedy ensues when we don't call stuff by its real name.
Kudos to everyone going to bat for the real world, and especially to Joe Romm.
I have been reading Joe's column for over a year now and look forward to the daily new articles. If you enjoy spilling a little denier blood once in awhile, this is exactly the blog to do the trick.
What stronger position can a person take is that this is what the science says. Then ask the other person what is your source? Most of the time the source is very laughable in its credibility.
The strength of my arguments improved dramatically finding Joe's blog.
I was so happy this morning with my cup of coffee when the first thing I saw was Friedman's headline, and I knew he was putting climate change front and center again. And then I was even happier to see that he once again referenced you Joe Romm. YAY!!
This is excellent because your blog is the clearest and most comprehensive site for climate change information, among many other worthy alternatives.
Some fellow named Mike said this in the NYT comments:
"For every so-called expert who says this is happening there is another so-called expert who holds that the opposite is true."
I don't know if my reply will get through their moderation, so I'll post it here too:
"This is plainly incorrect. I urge you and any other truly open-minded reader to visit the blog Tom Friedman referred to climateprogress dot org, and read up on the actual science.
If you become informed, you will never make a statement like that again.
Someone once wrote that climate change was in the dot Earth ghetto and I agree. Time to put it on the front page where it belongs."
Congratulations ClimateProgress you are a beacon of light in topic that can be very dark and disheartening indeed.
Nice resume :P JR is the bomb. Just discovered this gem!!!!! and its helping me make
sense our FUBAR planet, now lets all man up and get this bitch fixed!!!!
I have taught science and read the independent data from Lovelock, Revelle, Hansen and others for 20 years. It is horrifying to see the systemic changes from feedback loops in our dynamic climate system that were long predicted with computer models coming to fruition.
Thank you for standing up and telling the truth in the face of some many skeptics who will do anything to discredit reality. "It's hard to get a man to understand something that his livelihood depends on him not understanding." -Sinclair
Joe, you should add a media criticism category to the list in the post.
Speaking of which, I assume you must have seen Andy Revkin's weird "tipping point" article by now. Ugh. It really begins to sound as if they've made a conscious decision to amp up the controversy over there. I suppose it was too much to expect that their approach to the news would be unaffected by the need to pay off that Mexican loan shark.
[JR: I saw it. I will get to it — it is a very tricky subject. I also have to deal with the Wald piece. Too MUCH to blog on! And it's a Sunday!]
Joe, your pithy and forthright analysis is one of the aspects of your writing that is so refreshing. Don't be distracted by people who moan about your method of delivery – it's really the content of the message they don't want to accept. And don't mince words, we need you to continue your sparkling critiques!
Anyone who is really busy (and that's probably most of us these days) needs Joe's blog as a roadmap to be consulted a couple of times a day. There are a lot of excellent climate blogs out there, and a lot of trash, as well. I don't have the time to sort all the crap out for myself, but Joe does that for me–pointing me to good pieces by Tom Friedman, for example, and telling me about excellent climate blogs I had not yet discovered.
You're a one-man clearing house, Joe, and for that, I thank you.
I just want to thank you about the great job you are doing by writing this blog. I try to follow it as good as i can. My time is limited so I do miss some posts.
I'm not a scientist but still I'm trying to fight against all that pseudo-science coming in all the time. The biggest issues at my sight of the wiew, according to pseudo-science at the moment, is to blame the Sun (yes, there are no sun spots at the moment and the Sun looks like "cooling down") for the warmig and then to say that heating stopped ten years ago.
So something about these I'd like to read. Perhaps in this blog?
This maybe too stupid to spend any time on:
It's really looks like denialist don't have much more to say and they will be dead in tne near future. Hope so.
I saw the article in USNews. I have also seen charts that show that the long term affects of global warming preceded the ramp up in fossil fuel consumption by about 100 years. They also show that we are just now approaching (from below) the average temperature for the last 3000 years.
When I went to MIT (long ago, so maybe physics has changed) we learned that affect follows the cause. It does not preceded it.
Maybe "ClimateProgress" could shift emphasis from discussing the need for climate progress and redirect our sharp pens (Few as sharp as Joe's.) at a broader set of solutions than those that are now getting a lot of attention. After all, there will always be a certain fraction of the population that can not be convinced, and maybe efforts to do so have reached a point of diminishing return.
The lost opportunity is in failing to raise the problem to a level where it becomes a part of how we fix the economy. The very "fabric of society" (the name of a college textbook) seems to really be the issue.
I get the sense that the call to "restructure" the automobile industry is going to result in continued production of inefficient cars, albeit cars loaded with electric motors and batteries. Similarly the call to restructure the electric grid will result in perpetuation of our system of massive centralized power plants designed to waste much more heat energy than the electric energy actually delivered. And we as a society seem to be poised to be taken in by these kinds of deception.
The fact that we are willing to print money to buy our way out of the conspiratorial use of our financial system that foisted bad debt on unsuspecting, but greedy investors, gives me the sense that there is not a lot of interest in making the financial system into a straight operating backbone. This impression is further supported by the fact that the loan sharking credit card system has yet to be recognized as the next slimy disaster which will hit us in the face. And we as a society only notice the impending disasters after they blow up.
So how might this society get into a high minded mode and actually be willing to sacrifice present wealth, real or imaginary, to fix a climate problem that is nowhere near as obvious as loss of retirement savings or unemployment?
Ever the optimist, I like to hope there is an answer based on innovation. I imagine that Pres. Obama was thinking similarly when he exhorted us to better motivate people away from occupations in the financial industry, and into "engineering, science, teaching –." Who can deny that the financial industry that bilked the world out of such yet to be known trillions of dollars was innovative? So maybe creativity needs to be motivated in the right direction? Ultimately this may be the answer and government and influential people could help make this shift.
But there is more to turning us into an innovative people. Certainly, innovation is different to different beholders, but there seems to be something in human nature that is very resistant to change. Since it is one of my main interests, the way this works out in the auto industry is an area I can readily discuss. But it is only an example.
A present topic in the forefront is the call for restructuring of the auto industry in order to justify great financial infusions. But really, few seem to understand that restructuring to go ahead and make the same basic products is not going to fix things. In this regard, resistance to change is the same as attachment to tradition.
But the world auto industry is sinking under the weight of 100 years of tradition. From the original horseless carriage, there have been a variety of refinements, but few real innovations. We still have the four wheeled box and we have come to love it. Each year we put a cute new outfit on it. Sometimes we get really brave and put an electric motor in it with batteries, and thus copy technology that is about as old as the original horseless carriage. Toyota showed that the basic car could be refined substantially, but the USA companies seem unable to get the idea. Rather, they would prefer to put electric motors in Yukons and continue to please us and to make the big profits. Pretending to innovate is a lot cheaper than really doing so.
Where might we take this? We worked the motorcycle quite well, added a side car, put three wheels on it, and added some fairings and protective bars from time to time. Some really good aerodynamics has been added with the Aptera being a good example of that (see http://www.aptera.com). But it is still a motorcycle. Still this is the best innovation we seem to be capable of accomplishing. The "we" here is not only the major auto industry. They still cringe at anything that violates the current auto fashion statement, and so does the car buying public in overwhelming numbers.
Sufficient restructuring would take a mighty effort on the part of both industry and the public. Together we need to think far outside the four wheeled box. The Aptera is a move in the right direction, but it seems to only be a start. It is hard to know how things will turn out in the end, but the right answer might look more like the Miastrada car which is roughly discussed at http://www.miastrada.com. What a change it would be for GM to retool to build something this different. But then maybe we would have a US product worthy of our industrial capacity.
The Miastrada represents innovation, as does the Aptera to a lesser extent. Either could represent 90% solutions, that 90% being the reduction in CO2 per mile driven. In contrast, the Volt is an example of trickery and deceit that will end in greater use of coal with more CO2, and with higher electric power prices. Things will look good for a while since a lot of Volts will help hold down the price of oil. The climate issue will only come back to haunt us later.
By the above discussion I have tried to show that there is a need for major change and that this should include stimulating critical thinking about innovation. Of course it represents my point of view which includes self interest, that being my promotion of a plan based on the Miastrada car. That plan should be subject to as much criticism as I have given to the US auto industry products, and it should come based on financial considerations as well as engineering and scientific values.
Perhaps discussion along these lines would help bring about more Climate Progress.
Theres not much else to add. ClimateProgress separate the wheat from the chaff.
Joe, I would love to see some dynamic content on the blog page. Of course your postings are pretty dynamic but, for eg maybe a CO2, meathane counter; embedded sea ice graphs, oil price graph….
top ten CC books; top ? videos; top 10 weekly articles;
editors choice and readers vote….
Recommended beginning books include (in my order):
"Plows, Plagues and Petroleum" by W.F. Ruddiman
"The Long Thaw" by David Archer
"Six Degrees" by Mark Lynas
"Hell and High Water" by Joseph Romm (now in paperback)
I am sure there are many more which I have not read.
Lew – There is some data that suggests that humans started heating up the climate when they began farming. Not a lot of data to date, but probably more to come.
Cause and effect has not ceased to rule. What we are seeing right now is a rapidly heating planet. So we look for a cause. Here's what we've found:
It's not the Sun getting hotter.
It's not high levels of volcanic release.
It's not the Warming Fairy. (At least no one has been able to detect her at work.)
What we have found is that CO2 (and some other gases) do trap heat and prevent it from exiting the atmosphere and that CO2 levels have been increasing in our atmosphere.
And we've learned that pulling billions of tons of fossil fuels from where they were sequestered underneath the Earth's surface and burning them releases CO2 into the atmosphere.
When you were back at MIT did they teach you to read the literature?
If so, re-hone those skills and dive into the data.
Joe –
Take a lesson from what is currently happening to Obama.
The opposing forces can't find anything of substance to use in attacking him, so they attack him for using a teleprompter. (And his wife because she wears sleeveless dresses.)
The deniers don't want to allow the facts to get in the way of their agenda, so they will use what they can to attack the messenger.
Keep giving us the good stuff.
Keep maintaining the "foolishness firewall" so that we can talk about the issues, not right wing fantasy land crap.
Yes, when it comes to covering global climate disruption, Joe blogs best!
Like so many other readers, I get tired of the oft-repeated denier dross.
By the way, did everyone thank our brave new president for 'connecting the dots' between the more frequent flooding of the Red River and climate change? I've heard that the previous administration discouraged the media from making this type of connection–a practice that, with a very few exceptions, continues to this day! We hear our TV personalities carry on about the "wild weather" we've witnessed without ever a mention of the fact this type of weather is right on track with what has been predicted.
So, to thank Obama, go to "Comments" (on rt.) at http://www.whitehouse.gov.
Idea: Adapt digital TV ads to educate Americans about climate change!
Opps—make that "Contact" (not "Comments") at http://www.whitehouse.gov!
thanks for links and information, all must be vigilant and well informed about the future of the environment and our planet!
Thanks for the comprehensive summary.. you obviously know your stuff. It's going to take me a while to read through all this, but I'm glad to have found as "dashboard" where all of the info is listed in consisely in one place!
thanks again
Mr Joe,
Of course the best blog on climate change.Can you suggest some India specific readings or something which can show the effects of developmental activities of developed world which India should avoid as a learning experience from other countries.
I am an engineer and working for the state government of Rajasthan in India.I live in the arid zone of the state and want to learn almost everything about the future of water in my state.
Thanks for all the great info. There is a lot of great information in the reply field.
How exactly will the EPA require company's to reduce CO2. The EPA already requires that industrial burner's fuel air ratio curves be set and tested at 15% excess air (3%O2)to meet existing NOx compliance regulations. In the combustion process, the only way to reduce CO2 is to increase the excess air which would increase the NOx emissions and make the burners less efficient and waist fuel. 15% excess air is a EPA and industry standard to ensure complete combustion and to minimize CO and NOx emissions. CO2 and O2 the reciprocal of each other and react in exact opposite in the combustion process. To reduce one the other has to go up. I have been setting up industrial burners on natural gas, Fuel Oil, Coal, Biofuel, etc for 16 years and there is no way to reduce CO2 from stack emissions without either increasing NOx by increasing the 15% excess air above stoichiometric ratios and contradicting EPA requirements already on the books. The burner technology doe not exist that can reduce everything from stacks. So we either turn off the lights or switch to nuclear power if folks are serious about reducing emissions.
Thanks for sharing :)
I'm a scientist, chemist, and worried about what we are doing to our planet. I'm not a climatologist, but I have done research on planetary atmospheres, so I have an above average interest in this scientific, social, political, economic fiasco we are watching. Truly it is sad.
This blog is excellent. I use it to stay informed.
This may be of interest to some. I am an economic and political conservative, a social realist, and a worried citizen of the world. I am disappointed that there are not more of my "persuasion" who understand and accept the scientific facts.
[JR: Thanks for posting!]

The Dream of the '90s? Jon Chait on P.C. 2.0
Today's political correctness flourishes most consequentially on social media, where it enjoys a frisson of cool and vast new cultural reach. And since social media is also now the milieu that hosts most political debate, the new p.c. has attained an influence over mainstream journalism and commentary beyond that of the old.
'We Are Koch'
Kochs Plan to Spend $900 Million on 2016 Campaign - "an unparalleled effort by coordinated outside groups to shape a presidential election that is already on track to be the most expensive in history... These donors represent the largest concentration of political money outside the party establishment, one that has achieved enormous power in Republican circles in recent years. Now the Kochs' network will embark on its largest drive ever to influence legislation and campaigns across the country, leveraging Republican control of Congress and the party's dominance of state capitols to push for deregulation, tax cuts and smaller government."
"Let's ask, in the 21st century, are there limits to free speech?"
UK should consider ban on Mein Kampf, says Scottish Labour MP [The Guardian]
Ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day, Scottish Labour MP Thomas Docherty has written to culture secretary urging a 'sensitive debate' on allowing its sale.
"They all love them some Founding Fathers"
"DES MOINES, IA – Word must have gone out early, either by word of mouth, or by all those social media platforms that conservatives have discovered since 2008, or perhaps by that strange wingnut telepathy only practiced by the true initiates who know all the conjuring words. (People could make Lois Lerner jokes secure in the knowledge that every single person in Iowa who would find them funny was somewhere in the hall.) In any case, the rhetoric at the Iowa Freedom Summit, hosted by Steve King and Citizens United, was startlingly muted. Oh, they hit all the proper notes. Liberty! Constitution! American exceptionalism! And the melodies were consistent; the first few bars were gloomy as they meandered through the many failures of the current administration, many of them largely imaginary, and then the final movement was all sunshine and rainbows and Republican promises of a brighter day. Every speech was like a Requiem Mass that concluded with a rousing chorus of 'Tomorrow.'" Charles P. Pierce of Esquire has some colorful choice words to say about the recent Iowa Freedom Summit.
"Mr. President, is you OK? Is you good? 'Cuz I wanted to know."
In addition to posting the State of the Union to Medium before the end of the press embargo, the Obama administration has delivered another sop to the young whippersnappers of today by having the president get interviewed by three stars of YouTube: comedian GloZell, designer Bethany Mota, and vlogbrother Hank Green.
You can watch the interviews, read takes on how they went from Hank Green himself, the WaPo, NPR, and the NYT, and enjoy some grousing from FOX and Bloomberg Politics's response to said grousing.

Dealing with the transition to the information age
BIG and BOT Policy Proposals (transcript) - "Many of our current economic policies originated during times of scarcity. But now, says investor Albert Wenger, we live in an era of 'digital abundance', when creating new products costs virtually nothing. To adapt to the resulting economic upheavals, we won't need just more tech, says Wenger, but some strong policies. Here he explores two: basic income guarantee and the right to be represented by a bot." [more inside]
Syriza stretches poll lead as Greek election campaign ends
Greece's anti-austerity party of the left, Syriza, has stretched its election lead to six points, putting it on course for a historic victory in Sunday's crucial elections. Barely four weeks after the failure of parliament to elect a president, triggering the ballot, Greece's fate now lies in the hands of 9.8 million voters. All the polls show, with growing conviction, that victory will go to Syriza. A poll released by GPO for Mega TV late on Thursday gave the far leftists a six-percentage-point lead over Samaras's centre-right New Democracy, the dominant force in a coalition government that has held power since June 2012. A week earlier, GPO had the lead at four percentage points. [more inside]

People have phenomenal capacity.
"What Obama would say at the State of the Union if he were being brutally honest": They do it because that's how the game works. They do it because the rules are you line up in front of the other team and then you hit them as hard as you can. They do it because, for one side to win, the other has to lose. And they do it because, if they don't do it, they're off the team. Football has no place for conscientious objectors. [more inside]

The Last of the "Creative Moderates"
Edward Brooke, the first African-American to be popularly elected to the U.S. Senate, has died at the age of 95. Immediately a prominent media figure after his election in 1966, he served for two terms. After leaving office, he became known as an advocate for male breast cancer awareness. Although a loyal Republican to the end, in 2004 he found cause to criticize his party for its close-mindedness. In recent years he received renewed media attention when Barbara Walters revealed in her autobiography that she and Brooke had had a secret affair.
Operation Just Cause, December 20, 1989
Twenty-five years ago this month, early on the morning of December 20, 1989, President George H.W. Bush launched Operation Just Cause, sending tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of aircraft into Panama to execute a warrant of arrest against its leader, Manuel Noriega, on charges of drug trafficking. Those troops quickly secured all important strategic installations, including the main airport in Panama City, various military bases, and ports. Noriega went into hiding before surrendering on January 3rd and was then officially extradited to the United States to stand trial. Soon after, most of the U.S. invaders withdrew from the country.

The bloom is off the Wildrose
In what will no doubt live on as one of the most stunning political moves in Canadian political history, Alberta Wildrose Party (and official opposition leader) Danielle Smith, along with 8 other Wildrose MLAs, crossed the floor of the legislature to join the ruling Progressive Conservatives, under the leadership of Premier Jim Prentice. She also proposed that the Wildrose party formally merge with the PCs, which the Wildrose administration and members reject. While floor-crossings are not uncommon in Canadian politics, there has never before been a complete capitulation of an official opposition party to the governing party before. [more inside]

Changing climates of history
Neither Thucydides, Gibbon, von Ranke, nor Braudel ever cited a paper appearing in Geophysical Research Letters. They did not worry themselves about fluctuations in the Siberian High or the Southern Oscillation. The vast majority of more recent historians also remained untroubled by such concerns. However, in the past five years, a handful of highly distinguished historians have come out with new books that put climate at the center of historical explanation. What on Earth is going on?

Are Democrats elitist?
The Affordable Care Act was "put together by a bunch of elitists who don't really fundamentally understand the American people," said former DNC chair Howard Dean. A few years ago, Democratic Gov.

Republicans have long used accusations of elitism against Democrats as an electoral tactic. Did elitism lose the Democrats the 2014 midterms?

Complexity and the dysfunctions of central government
One of the most interesting psychological aspects of Whitehall is that their inability to fix their own lifts in no way dents their confidence in advocating that they manage some incredibly complicated process.

Putin on the ritz
Most people in the English-speaking parts of the world missed Putin's speech at the Valdai conference in Sochi a few days ago, and, chances are, those of you who have heard of the speech didn't get a chance to read it, and missed its importance.

As you might recall, we reported last week that beloved Inman Park bistro Shaun's was planning to close on Dec. 18.
Is it December already? No? That's weird, because it appears Shaun's is closed today.
The doors are locked and lights are off and there's
no sign or anything now a sign letting people know that this is the end.
In an interview posted yesterday on Atlanta Magazine's Covered Dish blog, Chef Shaun Doty expanded on his earlier claim that what Atlanta needs right now are more affordable dining options, like his more modestly priced Yeah! Burger:
"Based upon some serious market research, I believe there is a substantial, unmet need for fast-casual, modern, chef-driven concepts. Yeah! Burger is just the first of the type of concepts I'm considering. You have to eat but you don't have to spend $30 on a meal."
I'm sad about burgers and their stranglehold on the city. (Yes, we're talking to you, too, Richard Blais.) But this isn't just an Atlanta phenomenon. Burger mania is everywhere!
Well, it's in New York at least. Which is pretty much everywhere.
Check out this char-grilled bummer: New York magazine had a piece just this past week called "Burger Survival: Upscale restaurateurs now flipping for patties."
Here's the kicker ...
The recession hasn't been easy on fine dining in the city, and its purveyors are clinging to their buns to survive. Whether it's a stand-in-a-queue spot like [Danny Meyer's] Shake Shack, a large table-service eatery like Stephen Hanson's Bill's Bar & Burger—one opened last fall in the meatpacking district, another just opened in Rockefeller Center—or an intimate dining room like John McDonald's Burger & Barrel, which opened October 14 on Houston and Mercer, all around the city trendy big-name restaurateurs have set their recessionary sights on a single concept: the burger joint.
Please Shaun/Richard/Danny/Stephen/John. We beg of you. Loosen your grip on your buns.

Bigfellas just released their first full-length album, ?Chubbed Up? which was nominated for 2009 Los Angeles Music Awards as ?Record Of The Year.? They?re often described as ?Steely Dan for the Pabst Blue Ribbon set.? A humorous band with their golf rap ?On The Green,? the Gershwin-Wainwright fueled ?I Wish That I Were Gay? and their often-absurd live shows, The Bigfellas love to display their playfulness, Faganesque irony, Police/Stones live energy, Ben Foldsian piano and Randy Newman-inspired songwriting throughout Chubbed Up?s 14-song, 62-minute schizophrenic fest, which includes '20s French pop, waltz and sonic noise. Their fans include Bruce Hornsby, Van Dyke Parks and Robert Christgau, but this KPFK public radio review maybe says it best: "I love how the melodies are so beautiful, but the content is a complete left turn from what you would expect to hear lyrically (with those particular melodies).

Bio: From San Diego, The Bigfellas write and perform "smartass rock". Piano-based, but aggressively eclectic. Best known for their funnyish stuff like "I Wish That I Were Gay", "4:20" and the world's only golf rap, "On The Green," all of which are on their late 2008 schizophrenic CD, Chubbed Up.

This is a peculiar fact situation. Most cops who are trying to entrap you for "solicitation" will not volunteer that they are police. Maybe someone was pulling your leg, or maybe they want to warn you about someone else who is dangerous. Best not to respond. you might also wish to review the article "I'm being investigated.

Love's Story includes its healing power
Posted by Keith Wommack on Oct 15, 2015 | 8 Comments »
The seven-night Oprah Winfrey television series, Belief, airing October 18 – 24, explores our "ongoing search to connect with something greater than ourselves."
The second in the series, Belief: Love's Story, explores loving unconditionally, love that unites, and loving your enemies. As critical as these are to those yearning to put their faith into practice, I believe that "Love's Story" is even richer if you also take a look at Love's power to heal the body.
If we were made, assembled, like a car or truck, there would be no need for compassion and care when it came to our mental and physical health care needs. Switch out a part or two, bang out a dent, and we would be good to go.
However, we know there is more to us than body parts, and health care means more than just cleaning out a filter and changing spark plugs, so to speak. Read More→
Walk in the Park Improves Health
Posted by Keith Wommack on Oct 5, 2015 | 14 Comments »
Throughout history, moments spent strolling through floral paths, even planting vegetable and herb gardens, have been found to be therapeutic.
A Health & Science article in The Washington Post put a spotlight on the benefits of nature moments. It examined Robert Zarr's "innovative community health program," DC Parks Rx, which is "committed to combating the woes of urban living by prescribing time outdoors."
Zarr, a pediatrician, is convinced that a "growing body of scientific evidence" indicates "that many of the chronic scourges of city life can be prevented or alleviated by reconnecting with nature."

Suicide and the Lifeline of Your Spiritual Authority
Posted by Keith Wommack on Sep 14, 2015 | 10 Comments »
The tragedy of fifteen-year-old Sadie Walker has me thinking about lifelines.
Sadie took her life on Christmas Day, according to the Dallas Morning News, and her story suggests that doom and gloom thinking can be contagious.
Sadie had joined an online chat group of teenagers talking about self-harm – a community of silent co-sufferers hidden behind the veil of Internet privacy laws.
She had joined out of compassion, hoping to offer comfort and support to those struggling. Instead, the negative environment consumed her. Sadie quickly became overwhelmed and took her own life. Read More→
Are you prepared for a miracle
Posted by Keith Wommack on Aug 19, 2015 | No Comments »
Michael Kirsch, MD, in Can prayer heal the sick? wrote about a woman who, after going through a surgery in 1985, was informed that she most likely had only 1 to 2 years to live. "The patient and her husband were devastated." The husband "related the tragic news to his 3 children, ages 3, 5 and 8."
While recovering from surgery, the woman's 3-year-old daughter told her mother she wasn't going to die because God had told her that her mother would live. "The patient related that she felt an unusual sensation that began at the top of her head and rippled slowly down her body until it reached the soles of her feet."
The woman received no further treatments. And she is well today.
Dr. Kirsch then shared, "There are many medical cases that carve a course that I would not have predicted and do not understand. What forces may be at play there? I can't say for sure, but I know many believe that prayer may be more powerful than our most potent prescriptions." Read More→
Are You Rich Enough To Be Generous
Posted by Keith Wommack on Aug 17, 2015 | 16 Comments »
Are you seeking "Lower blood pressure, lower risk of dementia, less anxiety and depression, reduced cardiovascular risk, and overall greater happiness"?
Well there just might be "a magic pill for happiness and longevity" that can help you get such benefits, according to Terri Yablonsky Stat, in the Chicago Tribune – "It's a simple way to stay healthier".
It is being generous.
It seems that generosity, no matter the age of the benefactor, benefits the giver physically and psychologically. In other words, it pays to be nice.
However, a hand isn't moved to give unless a mind is moving it. So, what triggers the mind to give? Read More→

They can't ignore it. It's there. Doctors, patients, and pharmaceutical companies can't escape it. You can't either. What is it?
The placebo effect.
The placebo effect is the health response patients experience when they believe they're receiving a drug or surgery but are actually being given dummy drugs or simulated treatments.
Dr. Lissa Rankin writes, "The placebo effect is real, it works about 18-80% of the time, and it's not just in your head – it actually dilates bronchi, heals ulcers, makes warts disappear, drops your blood pressure, and even makes bald men who think they're getting Rogaine grow hair!"
Yet, there's more. Read More→
6 Simple Things – help fill an empty heart
Posted by Keith Wommack on Aug 6, 2015 | 17 Comments »
Do's and don'ts to regain the joy of life.
1) Stop being critical. Criticism closes your eyes to the good that has always been yours. Critical states of thought lead to critical mistakes, as well as cause critical states of the body.
2) Stop keeping score. It is not what others do but how much divine goodness you express that will ultimately satisfy you.
3) Stop trying to prove you are right. Instead of telling others you are right and they are wrong, live what is right and your life will begin to sparkle.
4) Start forgiving. Forgiveness means starting over with love. It wipes the slate clean. Forgive yourself and others. Forgiving others is about your peace of mind, not about absolving someone else's responsibility for wrongdoing. Read More→
How Deep Is Your Disappointment?
Posted by Keith Wommack on Jul 28, 2015 | 9 Comments »
A recent announcement of the surprising breakup of Country music's most famous couple shocked and saddened many of their fans.
One admirer tweeted — Now that Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert are getting divorced I can say with 100% confidence that love does not exist —
Another tweeter grieved — I'm mourning over the divorce, I'm crying and eating a gallon of ice cream until I wake up from this nightmare —
Shelton, one of the coaches on NBC's singing competition The Voice and superstar singer, Lambert, had been married for four years.
While some fans' comments may have been tongue-in-cheek, even if exaggerated, they point to something we need to be alert to. If we worship anyone's marriage to some degree, anointing it as idealistically perfect and tying our happiness to it, most likely we will experience sadness and resignation at every perceived failure.

Do You Want Your Child To Thrive?
Posted by Keith Wommack on May 18, 2015 | 12 Comments »
During a show, lines of cocaine, marijuana joints, and shots of tequila had been placed on the stage at a young guitarist's feet. At the end of the show, they were untouched.
Lisa Miller, PhD, believes she knows why.
Dr. Miller, a Columbia University psychologist, in her new book, The Spiritual Child – The New Science on Parenting for Health and Lifelong Thriving, reveals why psychological and neurological researchers have come to the conclusion that spirituality supplies a protective and healthy advantage.
Spirituality, until relatively recently, interested mainly those of deep faith. Now, spirituality is a cottage industry involving university departments, clinical trials, researchers, writers, and publishers. This is a good thing. Each participant can help us to recognize the value of spirituality.
Miller writes in The Spiritual Child, "Spiritual development through the early years prepares the adolescent to grapple more successfully with the predictably difficult and potentially disorienting existential questions that make adolescence so deeply challenging for teens (and their parents.) It also provides a protective health benefit, reducing the risk of depression, substance abuse, aggression, and high-risk behaviors, including physical risk taking."
The critical question is: If your child had been on that stage, would he or she have been able to say, "No"?
Miller in The Spiritual Child writes, "Research shows that a parent's decision about how to approach their child's spiritual life is a high-stakes proposition with lifelong implications." Read More→
Escape the painful consequences of sin
Posted by Keith Wommack on Mar 9, 2015 | 13 Comments »
In a recent column, I wrote about my escape from shoulder pain by the use of prayerful treatments. What I didn't detail was the mental course correction that took place because of the treatment.
The day before the pain began, my wife and I were playing with Kirby, a small kitten we'd rescued off the street. During our playtime, the kitten bit my finger. I yelled, "Ouch!" And while I was staring at a spot on my finger, my wife looked at me, shook her head, and said, "For someone who heals others' problems by affirming they are safe in God's care, you're sure making a big deal out of a little pain."
My wife wasn't being mean. She was trying to get me to employ the spiritual understanding to free myself that I utilize in helping others. Yet, instead of accepting her words as intuitive and constructive, I smugly thought, "Well, if that's what she thinks, I just won't tell her the next time I feel pain."
The next morning, I awoke with the shoulder pain. The pain was so extreme I couldn't hide it. With my head hung low, I had to tell my wife that I needed help. And because of an inability to move my arm, she assisted me in putting on my shirt and jacket and performing other daily activities. Read More→

Franciscan University, a Catholic school in Steubensville, Ohio, announced Tuesday it will be terminating its student health insurance program, thanks to ObamaCare's contraception mandate and new costs stemming from other provisions of the healthcare law. The university has so far refrained from offering contraceptive products and services with its student health program, and said it refuses to participate in a plan that "requires us to violate the consistent teachings of the Catholic Church on the sacredness of human life."
Unlike in conventional medicine where objective diagnoses and treatments are made based on observable biological evidence, psychiatrists get together every so often to decide what should or should not be considered a "mental illness." And they do not always agree, as evidenced by the more than 13,000 professionals from around the world who recently signed an open letter demanding that the upcoming edition of the psychiatry industry's "diagnostic manual" DSM be put on hold and reconsidered.
As the elite of the nation's psychiatric establishment work in the shadows to fully revise the highly controversial handbook labeling various behaviors and emotional states as "illnesses," experts across the board are crying foul.
The HHS has adopted a "too-big-to-control" model that is wasting billions of taxpayer dollars, House Republicans said Wednesday. By Brian Koenig
According to a new report from the House Ways and Means Committee, ObamaCare — and especially the employer mandate — will actually give employers a huge incentive to stop offering health insurance benefits to their employees.
A newly leaked HHS PowerPoint presentation provides public speakers with a simplified tool to educate Americans on how ObamaCare works.

When Pope Francis' encyclical "Laudato Si'" was published one year ago on June 18, the document was cheered by Catholics and non-Catholics alike for its bold call to preserve "our common home" for future generations.

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 54 reviews
Very beautiful hotel. Location was amazing. Can't complain about the services due to the fact I never used them. But most importantly very very clean.
Nice! Clean, in good repair. Great staff, comfortable room, good breakfast and all reasonably priced. I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future!
Great stay. Loved the washing machine (but did not dry effectively) in the rooms. Also, not every room had one, we had four rooms for three nights. Two did not have a washer, just an empty cardboard box in it's place. Good location, down a ten minute walk from BTS and some restaurants. Breakfast could be better. Need to change menu more.
My husband and I booked this hotel through hotels.com It was our first time in Thailand (for our honeymoon.) We had no idea where to go, or what area was good, but we lucked out! The Aetas residence is right in the middle of everything. The staff has been EXTREMELY nice and helpful and we will be sad to say goodbye. It was a benefit to have a kitchenette in our room on days we wanted to save money and cook on our own. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The gym, pool and breakfast buffet are great. The concierge was very helpful and we will definitely return here if we ever come back. This is not a 5 star hotel like in the states, but it is an AMAZING hotel to stay at on a budget.
If I will return to Bangkok, will go to The Aetas Residence again, even though I like to experience new things. The apartment was simply perfect, better than my own house.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Clarendon backs big wind banBy SANDI SWITZER
Correspondent | February 12,2013CLARENDON — Proposed state legislation that would place a moratorium on large scale wind projects has municipal backing.
The Clarendon Select Board supports a senate bill calling for a three-year moratorium on industrial sized wind projects.
The proposed legislation also calls for Act 250 to oversee the permitting process for energy generation proposals, rather than the Public Service Board.
"The important part of this bill is it brings it right down to the local level," Select Board Chairman Michael Klopchin said at Monday's board meeting.
Selectman Robert Congdon Jr. drafted a letter to be distributed to Rutland County senators and Statehouse representatives.
Congdon wrote more studies needed to be conducted on environmental impacts of wind generation and to ensure maximum efficiency of proposed projects.
"If wind energy is as beneficial as developers are making it sound, then there is no reason more time cannot be taken putting together proposals and seeking the best interest of all parties involved," Congdon wrote.
