TalkClimateChange

But we’ll be coming back with something new

The opening sentence of a newspaper article today provides the perfect pretext for a typical TalkClimateChange discussion:
The target of halving global greenhouse gas emissions by the middle of the century is not enough to avoid the major impacts of climate change, scientists warned yesterday.
We can debate this […]

TalkClimateChange began six months ago with our Forums, which have since hosted a lively debate on all aspects of the climate discussion – a debate which has inspired the TalkClimateChange blog read by several thousand people each week.
To continue to provide you with a lively debate, we’ve become part of something bigger. - As […]

On Saturday I recorded a podcast together with Ben Kenney at thewatt.com, where we discussed various energy and climate issues together with Rod Adams and Robb Worthington.
If you want to experience TalkClimateChange actually talking instead of writing for a change - the digital equivalent of an unplugged blogger without the benefit of a word processor […]

Much has happened in the world since the beginning of the TalkClimateChange blog in 2007. .
From tears in Bali, to the signing of the US Energy Bill, to dramatic reforms to EU energy policy, a Nobel Prize for Al Gore and the IPCC and the growing backlash […]

A recent comment on TalkClimateChange prompted me to think about and write about something that I have wanted to comment on for some time.
In response to a recent post, Kaishu raises the issue of general public opinion;
Get off the net for a bit and you’ll realise that almost everyone agrees there’s a problem, and […]

The blog posts have been harder work than usual this week. I believe I am suffering from Climate Change fatigue, becoming slightly weary and negative with the micro debate on each point.

Happy New Year to all readers of TalkClimateChange!
Thanks for your support during 2007 as we launched the forum and blog, and thanks in advance for your continued support through 2008. 
Blogging at TalkClimateChange is getting of to a slow start following my Christmas break, mostly due to a nasty bout of flu that I picked up on the last […]

The outcome of current climate treaty discussions will revolve around the resolution of the current deadlock between the US, China and India. What are the options for resolving this issue, and what’s behind it? We’ve had an idea..
The US rightly says that any action on their behalf is pointless when China opens a new coal […]

The best each week, selected from posts written by our enlightened forum members.

This week’s most thought provoking post was in response to our previous article on Co2 science, and nicely illuminates some of the core issues that we have observed in the climate change debate.

What is our overall position on the topic? Are we red or are we green? We’ve had a couple of emails asking this question in the last week, so we have set out some answers below.
We believe:

That in today’s political mass media age, some cynicism pays off.
That scientists who predict climate change should be taken […]

Where did the forum go?
It’s still here – under the ‘Forum’ link at the top of the page. The Forum is here to stay.
So what’s happening to TalkClimateChange?
We want TalkClimateChange to become a more general resource, community and place of interest for people interested in what it means to live in a world which is […]
