    Gore’s Call To Be Carbon-Free — Clear and Historic

    July 18th, 2008 · No Comments

    By John DeFore
    It must be a bittersweet moment to be Darrell Hammond.

    Every talk Al Gore gives, after all, continues to prove the Saturday Night Live veteran’s brilliance at honing in on the speech patterns of public figures; if Gore can’t tweak his style after years of mockery, then clearly Hammond caught something elemental.
    But in [...]

    From The Lunchbox To The Recital Hall

    February 27th, 2008 · No Comments

    By John DeFore

    Plenty of classical musicians have used wardrobe to set themselves apart from their peers, from the Versace-ish getups that helped put the Kronos Quartet on the map to the punk haircut of violinist Nigel Kennedy. But a dress made of garbage may be a first — almost certainly at Carnegie Hall.

    By Shermakaye Bass

    If you’ve heard the Lazy Environmentalist on Sirius Radio or have read the LE website or book, or have shopped at the Vivavi green-design showroom in Brooklyn, then you’ve more or less met Josh Dorfman, the man behind the movement.

    Encounters of a Nuanced Kind
    July 23rd, 2008

    By John DeFore

    Over the last few years, moviegoers may have come to expect that any documentary pairing scientists and ice caps will be a scare-fest or a sermon — a big-screen effort to hammer home the urgent need to take action countering climate change.

    Not so with Encounters at the End of the World, a film that’s drawing glowing reviews as it expands into theaters across the country. Yes, the movie has things to say about the environment — in at least one instance, it even suggests that humankind’s days here are numbered — but it is far from strident, superficially issue-driven, or even political.

    Eco-Jobs on the Rise Around World
    July 23rd, 2008

    By Nima Kapadia

    Jobs in renewable energy are increasing worldwide and causing the coal industry to distribute pink slips, according to a Worldwatch Institute study.

    • 1 million work in biofuels
    • 794,000 work in solar power
    • 39,000 work in hydropower
    • 25,000 work in geothermal

    New Hope for Carbon-Sequestering Advocates
    July 22nd, 2008

    By John DeFore

    Map from PNAS

    Proposals to solve the planet’s CO2 woes through sequestering the problematic emissions — pumping them into some hole in the ground where they can’t affect the atmosphere — raise numerous concerns for skeptics. Won’t the stuff leak out, wasting the fortune we spent on sequestering, and leaving us worse off than we would have been by cutting CO2 production in the first place?

    Researchers led by Columbia University geophysicist David Goldberg think they’re closer to resolving some of those concerns, with a proposal that would address the possibility of leakage on two fronts. [Read more →]
