Help for Haiti

Sorry for the long absence. I was in Haiti for two weeks and came back about a week and a half ago. For obvious reasons updating here was a little lower on the priority list. You can check out about the trip here and here are some specific things you can do right now.

Back at ya as soon as I get caught up on life.

How To Talk To Global Warming Skeptics

A great article from Grist about how to answer global warming skeptics. Personally, I don't think it makes a stick of difference if it can be proven (at least whether or not we are causing it) because it's a question of acceptable risk, but some people need proof. Here's a good way to engage them.

Check it out.

Renault EV Commercial

These kinds of things will start popping up more and more and the fact that they are, to me at least, is testament to the idea that we are going to start seeing EVs in earnest soon. It's a well made piece, perhaps a bit over reaching (I don't know how comfortable I am with the idea that mass producing anything is going to help the climate) but I think its meant to engage and make us think, which is always a good thing.

My friend Paul, who first posted this, pointed out that leaf in the last 10 seconds or so, a subtle nod to the companies sister, Nissan, which is bringing the Leaf EV to market.

Enjoy.
