New Video: Richard Alley's "How to Talk to a Climate Ostrich" series



I wanted to put in an even bigger plug for Richard Alley’s “How to Talk to an Ostrich” youtube series, -that has been spun off from the “Earth: an Operator’s Manual” project - so I made it the subject of this week’s video, and wrapped one of my favorite “Ostrich” videos up in a climate crock package.

The piece I chose to highlight is a particularly good one about the military’s early involvement in developing the data which nailed the radiative properties of greenhouse gases. I’ve discussed this before, but its amazing how many people still have no knowledge of that puzzle piece. I just returned from the Heartland Institute Denia-palooza conference in Chicago, more on that later, – maybe – but I was struck by the number of blank stares I got when discussing how far back the history of this science goes, even with people who were supposedly scientifically literate.
