Judicious use of Hansen’s many hats

May 18th, 2010 | By Lene Johansen | Category: Blog

I first wondered why a federal employee who does not work for the state department was writing letters to the Norwegian Prime Minister, instructing the Minister how to conduct foreign policy. I would think that Ambassador Barry B. White would be a more appropriate spokesperson.



I am in Esquire now?!

Mar 1st, 2010 | By Lene Johansen | Category: Media

I barely had time to write during the crazy December outing I had to a climate crazed Scandinavia. My job was to help other writers get in touch with the delegation of over 70 people from five continents that the DC think tank CFACT had put together. One of those people was the hated and loved, but nothing in between, Marc Morano, editor of ClimateDepot.com.



Not Evil Just Wrong lesson plan FINALLY published!

Feb 20th, 2010 | By Lene Johansen | Category: Clip Book

I tried to make the Not Evil Just Wrong lessons interactive and hands-on. I focused on science literacy, fact checking, understanding the nature of scientific knowledge, understanding of what happens to science when it steps into the policy scene, and fundamental understanding of economic and political dynamics.



Copenhagen Climate Caper

Dec 16th, 2009 | By Lene Johansen | Category: Blog

I was part of the group of climate realists from CFACT who pulled off an international climate caper against Greenpeace yesterday. We spent the morning boarding the Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise and hung a banner that read “Ship of Lies.” There was no confrontation on the boat as we distracted the staff on deck with donuts.

Climate crisis canceled!

Jun 1st, 2008 | By Lene Johansen | Category: Clip Book

I had a story published today in ABC Nyheter in Norway. The story is about the hugely under covered fact that more than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition stating the climate crisis is canceled: We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, [...]



Global warming, should we fight it or adapt to it?

Apr 28th, 2008 | By Lene Johansen | Category: Media

Lene Johansen argues with liberal talk show host Thom Hartmann why we should abandon efforts to STOP global warming and let developing countries develop economically in order to afford adapting to climate change.



Climate op ed on the most prestigious op ed page in Norway

Apr 11th, 2008 | By Lene Johansen | Category: Clip Book

This is an English translation of my op ed on climate skepticism: Climate Skepticism 101 Ole Mathismoen [high profile climate reporter in the biggest paper in Norway] had a strange opinion piece in Aftenposten Monday. In his piece, he portrays people that question the global warming gospel as conspiracy theorists. Lene Johansen, science reporter, Washington, [...]



Climate taxes and unfree laborers

Feb 2nd, 2008 | By Lene Johansen | Category: Clip Book

Two more stories published in Norway this week, this time in the political magazine Minerva. The first story is about the Norwegian ranking in the Index of Economic Freedom. We are not doing too well, being in the upper echelons of economies ranked as moderately free, but the really big news is that Norway is [...]



USA delegation from Norway

Jan 30th, 2008 | By Lene Johansen | Category: Clip Book

I did another story for ABC Nyheter in Norway; this time about the Norwegian Secretary of the Environment, Erik Solheim, and his four day trip to America. The primary purpose of the trip was climate change, and the trip included meetings with representatives for the Bush administration, members of Congress, various advocacy groups on the [...]
