New Scientist: Yes, but it shouldn't. Undoubtedly, the sceptics will latch on to the many admissions of uncertainty in the report. They will certainly note its acceptance that some regions of the world were as warm as they were during the Medieval Climate Anomaly when Europe basked in balmy temperatures between AD 950 and 1250 thanks to natural variation as in the late 20th century. This has long been a favourite topic among deniers who argue that if a natural mechanism was responsible for raising temperatures...

Bloomberg: Critics of efforts to address climate change are misinterpreting a slowdown in the pace of global warming, the United Nations top climate official said. Those who deny mankinds contribution to warming have a primitive understanding of the science behind the Earths climate, Christiana Figueres, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said today in an interview. She spoke a day ahead of the release of the groups updated assessment of climate science. It will show a slowdown in...

Huffington Post: If we want to see action on the Hill to reduce carbon pollution we need to change the rules of the game.

That's why the League of Conservation Voters has been putting climate change deniers on the spot like never before. Last month hundreds of LCV members...

Grist: Progressive journalist and activist Naomi Klein made waves a couple of years ago with an article in The Nation arguing that climate activism and current-day capitalism are incompatible. An appropriate response to the massive threat of climate change "is going to require shredding the free-market ideology that has dominated the global economy for more than three decades," she argued. Now, in a new interview with Jason Mark of Earth Island Journal, she lambastes major environmental groups for failing...
Green groups may be more damage than climate change deniers

Salon: Canadian author Naomi Klein is so well known for her blade-sharp commentary that its easy to forget that she is, above all, a first-rate reporter. I got a glimpse into her priorities as I was working on this interview. Klein told me she was worried that some of the things she had said would make it hard for her to land an interview with a president of the one of the Big Green groups (read below and youll see why). She was more interested in nabbing the story than being the story; her reporting...
