Comment on Dad, seriously, WTF is up with “Game Over”?! by astrostevo

Um, did you read what Hansen actually wrote there? Jim Hansen wrote :

“If Canada proceeds, and we do nothing, it will be game over for the climate.”

*IF* – not over now. *If* Canada is allowed to exploit the oil in its vast tar sands reserves *then* its game over.

If we don’t stop them doing so and the sooner the better.

It was a call to arms not an admission of defeat as I read it. Let’s share and heed Hansen’s call and work to stop that “if” from happening!

Comment on MORE sex is better with energy efficiency by Christopher S. Johnson

Sorry for cross posting this comment but I think people are moving on to other stories at CP.

But KC, there *IS* a difference between efficiency and conservation. They really are two different things, and while I applaud sweater wearing and conservation, people need to know EFFICIENCY means getting the SAME amount of light, hot showers, and cold beers, as before, but using a mere fraction of the energy. Sacrifice is noble and realistically necessary but EFFICIENCY isn’t about sacrificing anything. There are zero discomforts and coal plants still get shut down. The LED lightbulb and modern refrigerators are perfect examples of this. A smart grid would be another.
