...Moulitsas argues, because so much of the profits of the site get poured back into it. Whatever his take-home pay is, it?s enough to generate respect from unlikely quarters. "Most would argue and it?s self-evident that he?s the most well compensated blogger on the planet," says Mike Krempasky, co-founder of the virulently conservative RedState.com "I don?t say that in a pejorative way. I think that?s great!" Moulitsas?s enterprise was in fact the inspiration for Red State, right down to identical software and a spirit of embattled community. A much smaller, less...
...question is at least as old as Socrates: if we know what the right thing to do is, why do we not do it? It's an especially acute question when applied to global warming. The science showing that carbon-dioxide emissions are already changing the planet's climate, and are likely to have severe effects (melting ice caps, sea-level rise, species extinction), is compelling and now barely disputed. Almost 90% of Europeans say they recognize climate change as a major issue, and 75% identify fossil-fuel emissions as a major cause. And yet, as was widely discussed...
Then again, Gore's new movie has something of a mutant-action-hero plotline of its own. It's the tale of a scorned, washed-up politician transformed into a laptop-wielding ninja whose PowerPoint could rescue the planet from the forces of greed and indifference.

We consume the most oil in the world, with little regard for the planet. You want the price of gas to go down? Stop driving so much. Take the bus, ride a bike, take a walk, join a van pool, take the train. Buy hybrid cars, and trade in your Hummers and suvs. And once in a while, stay home. The natural order...
...half degrees Celsius,” he said. “Part of that uncertainty is to do with water vapor.” “It interests me and allows me to make a contribution to [fighting] what I think is the biggest threat to the planet,” Thompson said. Another fellow with a physics doctorate from Harvard, Alex Johnson, will work in the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences with Assistant Professor Shriram Ramanathan, developing technologies that will hopefully aid a shift from oil-based to hydrogen-based energy. “[The fellows...
