Greenpeace's Amsterdam branch has compiled an incredibly detailed history and analysis, replete with references, of the organized attacks on climate science and scientists. One detail: an attack was funded by 19 "independent" organizations, 14 of which turned out to be fronts for Exxon-Mobil.

Good Progress Report on Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE)

This is a highly motivated, enthusiastic group (I attended their annual conference a couple of years back), encouraging both study of sustainability (degree programs) and sustainable practices on campus. Look at the list of announced green actions just this week, plus the substantive accomplishments in their annual report.

This one was sponsored by architects (AIA) and technical testing and specification engineers (ASTM) and should have wide, if slow, impact on local building standards across the U.S. and overseas.

Measuring energy savings in fractions of coal power plants

Negawatts was the felicitous term coined decades ago by Amory Lovins for units of energy saved, but according to researchers from Stanford and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, the Rosenfeld will be easier to grasp and "visualize." Certainly Arthur Rosenfeld deserves the honor -- and let's hope something works to get the message across that saving energy means avoiding the construction of new power plants, or even decommissioning current ones!
