James Hansen, one of the world’s leading climate scientists, will today call for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and […]

Yesterday’s LA Times carries an opinion piece by James Kirchick of The New Republic entitled “Bush never lied to us about Iraq. The administration simply got bad intelligence. Critics are wrong to assert deception.” Given that this piece follows a similar piece in the Washington Post on June 9th I think […]
… and it ain’t Paul Krugman.
From today’s New York Times cover story:
Media critics have been increasingly concerned about what will happen to investigative journalism with the continued emphasis on cutting costs. This latest NYT story should help sooth some of those fears as it is clear that hiring just one good photographer with an eye […]

That’s a lesson a lot of our politicians could learn. Maybe we should send them down to Guatemala’s Francisco Marroquin University.
For nearly 40 years, this private college has been a citadel of laissez-faire economics. Here, banners quoting “The Wealth of Nations” author Adam Smith — he of the powdered wig and invisible hand — […]
As Republicans, we are faced with the unfortunate reality that our ideas frequently lack the easy, fuzzy and warm narrative that Democrats can offer. In his recent Doublethink Online piece, Conor Friedersdorf brings up the example of rent control - while liberal policies may actually make things worse for poor families, the pro-rent control […]
