As Arctic sea ice shrinks faster than 2007, NSIDC director Serreze says, "I think it's quite possible" we could "break another record this year." - Watts and Goddard seem in denial: "We are still about six weeks away from anything interesting happening in

The big climate news up north is the Arctic double stunner:  Sea ice extent (area) is now below 2007 levels, while the even more important metric of ice volume hit a record low for March (according to the Polar Science Center).

Data from both the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) show Arctic sea ice extent shrinking below the level of 2007 at a rapid pace:

Axelrod: Oil spill adds urgency to passing energy and climate bill - Reid: "Weaning ourselves off of oil is a hard fact for us to face."

White House senior advisor David Axelrod has not been viewed as a friend to climate legislation by enviros.

Indeed, I've been told by multiple sources he is one of the reasons why high-level administration figures so rarely talk about the threat of global warming.  Sadly, he is among those who have been duped by bad polling analysis into thinking it is not a winning issue.

So his remarks today are somewhat heartening:

ExxonMobil says we need to destroy our grandchildren's future to save them

ExxonMobil anxiously grasps its gigantic but unsustainable gold mines, pumps cash (much of it from your wallet to places far away), pours GHGs into the atmosphere, pushes its publicity machine, and doesn't seem to comprehend the relationships between a healthy climate and the lives of our grandchildren.  They try to confuse you in the process.  Their actions delay the creation of millions of jobs and our ability to author a healthier future.  And that's putting it politely.

Matthews tells Obama to end BP's disaster capitalism - "Millions of people in the American right who sit around and say there's no such thing as mankind destroying his environment through climate change or whatever, there's an example of what we're doing r

On Monday, May 17, MSNBC's Chris Matthews erupted in anger at the oil disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico. Matthews expressed his rage at the profits BP continues to reap as it fails to fix the growing environmental apocalypse.  Brad Johnson has the story and the video:

Matthews criticized the behavior of the Obama administration. Matthews wondered why President Obama doesn't "nationalize that industry and get the job done" and noted that in the "brutal society" of China, "they...
