MIAMI — Tropical Storm Isaac is gaining strength as it gets closer to predicted landfall along the northern Gulf Coast. BLOG POSTS | Kelly Rigg: Invoking FDR: Where Is the Leadership on Climate Change? With the exception of nuclear war, I can't think of any greater existential threat to human civilization than climate change and its related impacts. If ever we needed an "FDR moment," now would be it. | | Rep. Ed Markey: The GOP's 'Conventional' Wisdom Even if the GOP is reluctant to finally accept the science behind global warming, they could at least reconsider their attacks on the government-funded satellites and other research that allow us to track and predict storms like Isaac. | | Mia MacDonald: The US Drought: An Opportunity to Rethink the Global Food System How can the global food system be made sustainable, equitable and climate-compatible? This means agriculture that's resilient against climate change, such as drought -- and that doesn't produce enormous amounts of greenhouse gases. | | David Katz, M.D.: Science and Smoke Signals I have long felt a nearly irresistible compulsion to write this column: an impassioned defense of the scientific method, and a denunciation of willful denial, ignorance, and hypocrisy -- and the dangers that attend upon them. | | Kate Gordon: Educating the Next Generation to Compete in the Clean Energy Economy At this pace, we will fall well behind the competition -- and forfeit lucrative jobs in the process. What does this mean? Americans run the risk of consigning another generation to low-skill, low-wage jobs -- and higher rates of poverty. | | MOST POPULAR ON HUFFINGTONPOST.COM |
