We’ve already written on how high fuel and food prices prove that the Democrat’s global warming policies are having a resounding effect. Environmentalists are giddy at the prospect of cars rusting in driveways while family members huddle together in darkened houses to stay warm. Yes sir, this is the golden age of environmental progress. Don’t […]
“Well, here we are. At $4 a gallon for gas, we already have a flailing economy. Isn’t it glorious? And isn’t it exactly what many environmentalists desired?” Exactly. There’s nothing like achieving your goals. And don’t you dare complain about rising fuel and food costs affecting your family budget, you selfish, capitalist, American pigs. The […]
Ann Coulter hits the Democrat nail right on the head. This is Not a Drill: The current Democratic mantra on energy is: “We can’t drill our way out of this problem.” Apparently their plan is to talk our way out of this problem. Democrats are also alleging that the oil companies are sitting on millions […]
(Hat tip: Andrew Stuttaford) Brendan O’Neill, writing in The Guardian, makes the case that environmentalism is — at its essence — an authoritarian movement opposed to liberty and freedom.

Never let petty facts get in the way of the big theory. Facts are such pesky, annoying things that it’s better to just ignore them. It’s taken decades to tune the MSM propaganda machine so that these little, irritating kernels of truth can be effectively marginalized. Ignorance is bliss and feeling good about the environment […]
This was on the RNC’s website yesterday (hat tip: K-Lo): McCain is dead wrong on the topic of anthropogenic global warming as are Joe Lieberman and Newt Gingrich.

If anthropogenic global warming is wrecking the planet, why are big media proponents resorting to fake footage and lies to make that case?

The usual chorus of environmentalists and editorial writers has chimed in to attack President Bush’s recent speech on climate change.

“The biofuels debacle is global warm-mongering in a nutshell: The first victims of poseur environmentalism will always be developing countries. In order for you to put biofuel in your Prius and feel good about yourself for no reason, real actual people in faraway places have to starve to death.” That great quote could only come […]
Deroy Murdock, writing at National Review, has a devastating article today on the disaster that is government-subsidized ethanol. You’ve got to read this one — you will be horrified.

Given the global warming hot air coming out of all three presidential candidates, we may all thank California for getting a head-start on trying to curb greenhouse gases. We’re sure Californians are oh-so-proud to have a wonderfully progressive “cap and trade” scheme that the inconvenient truthers are trying to foist on the rest of the […]
Global warming alarmists the world over cite Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” as the definitive source for all of their opinions on the subject.

Today’s Fox News has a story about Sarah Edwards — a PhD (“Piled high and Deep”) — who suffers from “Eco-Anxiety”: “the growing angst experienced by those who can’t handle the thought that they — or anyone — are in some way contributing to global warming, species extinction and dwindling natural resources.” No, we’re not […]
Scroll for Updates *** Now that President Bush is determined to “secure his legacy” by embracing Al Gore, the likelihood of a recession exacerbated by energy and food inflation is all but guaranteed.

Even liberals are capable of “getting it” every now and then. We think folks are starting to wake up to the scam that is ethanol. Even The New York Times Paul Krugman, who is grossly misinformed on Global Warming and most economic issues, has figured out that ethanol is a boondoggle: Where the effects of […]
