Frances Kissling Sells Out the Pro-Choice Movement "The "pro-choice' brand has eroded considerably," according to Frances Kissling's front-page op-ed in the Washington Post's Outlook section last weekend. Ironically, Kissling, who is the former director of Catholics for Choice, asserts that, "old strategies don't work."

Getting Some Green for Your Green: Giving to Reverse Climate Change The end of the year is traditionally a time for giving -- money. Since people want some bang for their buck, some green for their green, I have compiled my list of 12 organizations that I recommend this year for your end-of-year donations. They are a dozen non-profits that I believe are doing critical work toward reversing climate change.

Carbon Cuts: 350 is Not Adequate If burning fossil fuels like coal and oil during industrialization has created the mess we're in with climate change, it seems only logical that we should aim for pre-industrial levels of atmospheric CO2 of 280 ppm.

Waxman-Markey Will Not Do: A "Fell-Swoop" Moment Missed As the bell rang in the U.S. House of Representatives, announcing the 219-212 vote for passage of the Waxman-Markey climate bill, the skies over Washington, DC ripped loose with a mighty storm. President Obama dared to say, "We're not going to get there in one fell swoop." Mother Nature seemed to declare, "I beg to differ, Waxman-Markey, simply will not do."

Gag Me with Clean Coal Destroy life, property, mountains, streams, rivers, families, communities and the planet to obtain a filthy fossil fuel. Burn it for electricity, releasing myriad poisons. Contain the resulting sludge and toxic ash in billion gallon ponds, until they break. Call it clean. Get the President to call it clean. Repeat. Add alliteration and a multi-million dollar PR campaign. Voila, you have clean coal.

A Failure of Leadership: Rapid and Massive Action Needed to Avert Climate Change The super-powered greenhouse gas Methane is bubbling out of lakes in the Arctic, from melting permafrost, and we have entered the dreaded period where secondary effects of global warming could take the climate challenge completely out of our control. The time for genuine leadership and grassroots action, that will effectively reverse climate change, is fleeting.

President Obama Must Heed Alarm Bells on Global Warming If this were an ordinary issue incremental, politically palatable steps made over the long term may be appropriate. But gentle approaches don't make sense when our survival on this planet may depend on a swift, dramatic response. If President Obama wants to bend the arc of history toward a planet that can sustain human civilization, the time for bold leadership is at hand.

The pending Maryland legislation is simply inadequate.

Bye Bye Bush: Washington, America and the World Welcome Barack Obama Taking the oath of office on the Lincoln Bible and quoting our founding father George Washington, Barack Obama's inaugural address was a low-key call for action with a sober tone. Our new President gave us highlights from history, reminding us that we can do it again, calling this, "a new era of responsibility," saying, "We are ready to lead once more."

Even so, the toughest proposals offered to date for reducing greenhouse gases is to cut them 80% by 2050. We need immediate, worldwide leadership, far bolder than anything currently proposed. Without action, we face devastation. Read why we must cut greenhouse gases 80 % below 1990 levels by 2025.
