Sometimes You Know When Something’s Been Done Right

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Just by looking at who thinks it's wrong. Instead of going for sweeping changes that could cost Montanans jobs, the EQC opted for small changes that, while I don't agree with some of them, are more common-sense approaches that aren't radical changes with massive unintended consequences. Mostly, though, I'm pleased that the ...

Exhibit 32

Monday, May 5th, 2008

James has a great post over at 2nd Grade Bike Rack (you should ask him the story behind that name one of these days) talking about "Exhibit 32" from the last Environmental Quality Council. He wasn't able to post it at Blogspot, but he was kind enough to ...

Montana Climate Change Action Plan is Bad Policy…

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

...based on bad science. But we've covered that already. Here is a peer-reviewed study from the Montana Policy Institute that comes to the same conclusion. You can read the entire report here. (And gird yourselves for some wailing and gnashing!) Bozeman, MT. April 23rd, 2008: The ...

Center for Climate Strategies Launches Web Site

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Er, I mean DEQ launches Climate Change Web site. Judging from the site's content, they're one and the same, aren't they? Pennsylvania advocacy groups and leftist foundations working for Montana! Check it out for yourself.

Tonight’s Podcast - All Aboard The Failboat

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

I am an idiot. I made sure that everything was scheduled with the notable exception of changing the date on the BTR show, which is now too late to do. We'll run the podcast at the regularly scheduled time of 9:00, most likely without Paul, since it would be midnight ...

This is part 3 of an ongoing series. Part one can be found here, part two is here. Part III -- Here Comes the Science *Just a note on the titles of these posts -- I've used the terms "Group," "Commission," and "Committee" in referring to the group, as I've seen ...

This is part 2 of an ongoing series, you can find part 1 here. Part II -- Show Me The Money We left off part 1 with the selection of the climate change committee. The response thus far has not been about the issues, but rather about personalities, namely mine. ...

Montana Climate Change Advisory Committee, Part I

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Citizens' Voice Subverted by Agenda-Driven Interests? There is a nifty think tank down in Bozeman, called PERC, the Property and Environment Resource Center. They're pretty low-key, but they do put out some good stuff. Mostly, they are focused on market-based solutions to environmental problems. I've linked to their stuff at ...
