DeSmog TV Live in HD at 10am pacific today

[Editor's note: here's the archived video of DeSmog's Live TV show]

Check out our pilot edition of DeSmog TV today on Climate TV. The show is live with yours truly as host.

The best part is that the show, being run on Climate TV, is interactive and you'll be able to ask questions and make comments in real time.

We will be talking today with Kert Davies, Director of Research at Greenpeace USA, about a new report out yesterday on Koch Industries and their heavy investment in the climate misinformation echo chamber. We will also discuss the breaking news out of the UK House of Commons exonerating Dr. Phil Jones.

The show is live today at 10am pacific, 1pm eastern. The show will be archived and I'll post it here later, but check out the live show because I will probably have a few copies of Climate Cover Up on hand as giveaways.

Climate Crock Live and Interactive With Peter Sinclair Tonight

I'm involved in a cool new project called Climate TV - it's a live and interactive online television channel focusing on bringing the personalities, authors, filmmaker, pundits, policy experts, campaigners and politicians around the issue of climate change live to your computer where you can interact and ask questions in real time.

The premiere edition airs tonight (Thursday, March 25) on this Climate TV Channel at 6pm pacific, 9pm eastern time.

The show will feature Climate Crock of the Week video producer, Peter Sinclair.

We will be airing one of Sinclair's recent Climate Crock Episodes and then there will be a live Q and A discussion with Peter afterward, where viewers can ask questions and add their thoughts to the conversation.

Here's the video Peter will be airing and discussing live tonight. See you tonight!

Wanted: David and Charles Koch, Climate Criminals [video]

If you've never heard of Charles or David Koch, I wouldn't blame. While they do run the second largest private company in the US, they don't spend much money advertising the fact.

These oil barons do however spend a lot of money every year on organizations like Americans for Prosperity who attack the science of climate change and deny that it is happening.

Here's a backgrounder on Koch just released yesterday by Climate Science Watch.

And here's Greenpeace's "Climate Crime Unit" on the hunt for Charles and David Koch:

Bill McKibben on O.J. Simpson and the Attack on Climate Science

The award-winning author Bill McKibben has penned a great piece today comparing the OJ Simpson trial to the attack underway on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Chage (IPCC) and climate science in general.

McKibben writes:

"In 1989, I could fit every scientific study on climate change on top of my desk. Now, you could fill the Superdome with climate-change research data. Yet somehow, the onslaught against the science of climate change has never been stronger."

And,

"The campaign against climate science has been enormously clever, and enormously effective. It’s worth trying to understand how they’ve done it.  The best analogy, I think, is to the O.J. Simpson trial, an event that’s begun to recede into our collective memory. For those who were conscious in 1995, however, I imagine that just a few names will make it come back to life. Kato Kaelin, anyone? Lance Ito?"

You can read McKibben's entire piece here: The Attack on Climate-Change Science Why It's the O.J. Moment of the Twenty-First Century.
