People don’t care about climate impacts in other countries	24.8.2011	Grist News
by Christopher Mims. Messages about the urgency of climate change that depict harms to people in other countries, or even just other parts of the same country, often backfire, says a new study. Researchers discovered that "motivated reasoning,” the kind that reinforces your pre-existing beliefs, kicks in when viewers are confronted with tales of doom and gloom. Then a cognitive shortcut -- namely, “how much is this person like me?” -- tells the viewer how much they should care about a given harm. Basically, when confronted with information that runs counter to our foundational beliefs (e.g., fossil fuels are good and the EPA is a “job killing organization”) viewers tend to use their xenophobia to short-circuit their ability to follow logically to the most reasonable conclusions ('Maybe we should do something about all these carbon emissions!').  ...

Chris Christie says ‘climate change is real’ while vetoing climate action	23.8.2011	Gristmill
by Brad Johnson. Cross-posted from ThinkProgress Green . New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) vetoed legislation to preserve his state’s participation in a regional climate program on Friday. As he vetoed the bill (S. 2946), which would have blocked his decision to pull out of the successful Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), Christie announced that he had been convinced by scientists that human-made climate change is a real threat. The New Jersey Star-Ledger reports that he said “ climate change is real ”: He added that “human activity plays a role in these changes” and that climate change is “impacting our state.” “I can’t claim to fully understand all of this,” he said. “Certainly not after just a few months of study. But when you have over 90 percent of the world’s scientists who have studied this stating that climate change is occurring and that humans play a contributing role it’s time to defer ...

AIDS-Afflicted U.S. Citizen Urges Obama Admin to Reverse Deportation of Australian Husband	12.8.2011	Democracy Now!
The Obama administration's enforcement of the Defense of Marriage Act is threatening to tear apart the seven-year marriage of a binational gay couple in San Francisco. Bradford Wells, a U.S. citizen, and Anthony John Makk, an Australian national, have lived together for 19 years and were among the first same-sex couples to legally marry in Massachusetts. Anthony is also the primary caretaker for his husband, who has HIV/AIDS. Makk is facing deportation this month after the Obama administration denied them the same immigration benefits routinely given to opposite-sex couples. The decision is based on the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 law known as DOMA, which denies federal benefits to same-sex couples. The Obama administration has said it would no longer defend DOMA in the courts, but the law still remains in effect. Bradford Wells and Anthony John Makk join us from San Francisco. We also speak to Rachel Tiven, executive director of Immigration Equality. [includes rush transcript]

Critical List: New fuel economy standards; flat screens use less energy	29.7.2011	Grist News
by Sarah Laskow. Both options currently on the table for raising the debt ceiling would cut environment and energy spending. The president will announce new fuel economy standards -- cars and light-duty trucks will need to be at 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. The EPA is proposing the first air standards for fracking. Flat screen TV use less than half the energy they did in 2008. The secret is just using LEDs. Jon Huntsman believes " conservation is conservative ." Maybe the next president will appoint him head of the EPA. Consumers are starting to wonder if it's such a good idea to clean their clothes with chemicals . (We say: just wash on cold and air dry!) ...
