When will Congress declare hopes for a climate change bill this year dead, dead dead dead, which they pretty much are? GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham helped draft it and is now officially working against it, for funny-sounding reasons.

Is John Kerry the real-life Captain Planet? No. But in a lot of ways, Yes! On Thursday, Kerry, alongside Joe Lieberman ("Heart"), introduced his thousand-page climate bill, the American Power Act. Let us answer your Frequently Asked Questions regarding it.

Senator Lindsey Graham was a key Republican supporter of the Democrats' proposed climate change and energy legislation. Now he has withdrawn his support because Democrats might decide to pursue immigration reform first. Wait... how does that make sense? Logic Report!

TV weathermen don't believe the real scientists who believe in climate change, the New York Times reports (a few months after CJR also reported this odd fact).

"Two sources at the Science Times section of the New York Times have told me that a majority of the section's editorial staff doubts that human-induced global warming represents a serious threat to humanity." -Science writer John Horgan.

"I'm a natural sceptic," a British-born web publisher says to explain his recent Tweets expressing doubt about the validity of the science behind climate change. Coincidentally, that's the same argument used by everyone who prefers conspiracy theories to science.

Both sides of the climate change 'debate' have decided that the snowstorm proves their case. 'Morons' argue that because it is cold, global warming is a myth. 'Scientists' counter that climate change means more extreme weather, not just warming. [NYT]

Wow. Talk about burying the lede. Obama and Clinton went BAD. ASS on some sucka climate change opposition. The two've been chipping away at this Copenhagen summit, but it took them busting down a door to get things "handled." Observe:

This morning, an elaborate hoax briefly convinced the world that Canada was going to take the lead on carbon emissions reductions and financial aid to Africa. But... why?

In a warm dystopia many years from now, New York City will be underwater and ginormous mutant crustaceans will roam the globe, mouth-wateringly. Here's hoping the cows don't die, because we're going to need butter. [NatlGeo]

The delegates at the Copenhagen climate change summit apparently don't care about the environment as much as they care about gas-guzzling limousines (1200) and private planes (140).

Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Heart! Sex! With your powers combined... I am the Copenhagen climate summit! Starting tomorrow, delegates to the COP15 summit will be saving the world and maybe getting laid a lot, thanks to free prostitute sex.

Whatever happens at the UN climate change summit in Copenhagen next week, we can be sure of one result: the entire event will be hijacked by bad actors spreading lies that will become conventional wisdom.

A record-setting dust storm swept across Sydney yesterday and obscured basically everything, including the famed Opera House, which can sorta be seen here. One visitor described the scene as "like a nuclear winter morning." The beginning of a dystopian day?

Global warming may put-off another ice age. Good to see fire and ice playing nicely.

Do you ever wonder how to dress for the coming clima(c)tic apocalypse? Fear not. This week, WSJ fashion reporter Teri Agins answered urgent questions from fashion-minded readers. When one fretting citizen wrote in wondering what Agins thought "of the 'rule' on not wearing white after Labor Day," she thoughtfully responded:

We don't need any energy technology breakthrough to solve the climate-change problem. At least, that's the Tthesis posited by The Economist in a debate sponsored by everyone's favorite multinational oil company, British Petroleum Beyond Petroleum. The ayes are having it so far. Joseph Romm from the Center for American Progress takes the pro, Peter Meisen of the Global Energy Network Institute takes the con, and Earth2Tech's Katie Fehrenbacher argues the corollary for conservation through increased efficiency.
