Today’s New York Post has an article by scientist Roy W. Spencer entitled “Not That Simple. Global Warming: What We Don’t Know.” While Spencer discusses the effects of precipitation in regulating warming, the real point of his article is that our models and tools, while helpful, simply aren’t complete and reliable enough to present a […]
Charles Murray gave a speech this week at the American Enterprise Institute. While the speech is about the cultural and psychological causes of happiness, he decimates the European model through a comparison of those causes and the actual effects of European democracies. There’s been an ongoing debate on the speech over at the National Review’s […]
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.” — Barack Obama, May 16, 2008. From today’s New York Times: The capital flew into a bit of […]
If you don’t read anything else today, read One Pissed-Off Dude by Gary Graham. Yes, it’s a rant about how Liberals and Liberalism is destroying America. It’s also spot-on. Here’s a very brief excerpt: It irks me that Democrats are always looking to raise my taxes. I’m patriotic if I take it up the bum […]
Larrey Anderson has a great article on the “unabashed nonsense” that is anthropogenic global warming. Enjoy. Climate Crisis = Logic Crisis: The original “climate change” hypothesis was that the planet was getting colder and that it would continue getting colder. That was a very simple hypothesis and was easily proven or refuted. Planet keeps getting […]
George Will has a great article today on how Barack Obama’s campaign pledges and so-called “agenda” add up to one, big gut-laugh — unless you’re a Democrat. Read For Obama, Believing is Seeing : Barack Obama has made his economic thinking excruciatingly clear, so it also is clear that his running mate should have been […]
Watch this video of Republican Senator McConnell offering Unanimous Consent requests to lift the ban on deep-sea exploration, and watch Democratic Senator Salazar object each time McConnell raises the per-gallon cost of gasoline that would trigger the lifting of the ban. Of course Democrats will argue that this is just a ploy. Salazar even calls […]
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 […]
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 […]
His face had the expression which, these days, was the mark of an honest man: an expression of bewilderment. He was looking at his companion, trying hard — conscientiously, helplessly, hopelessly — to understand. His companion was younger and shorter, a small man with lumpy flesh, with a chest thrust forward and the thin points […]
The Carbon Curtain: Having lived much of his life in a nation once ruled by communists, Klaus (Czech President Vaclav Klaus — editor) recognizes a tyrannical ideology where elites trample on individual freedoms for the greater good when he sees one. Speaking Tuesday at the National Press Club to introduce the English version of his […]
(Hat tip: HR) James Lewis has a fantastic article in American Thinker, How crypto-Marxism won the Cold War. Our comments follow. Today, for the first time in American history we have two — count ’em, two — hard-core Leftists running for the Democrat Party nomination. The Left hasn’t had this kind of chance for power […]
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. Now the national Republican party has decided to embrace the scam. George will has these questions: • You say that even if global warming turns out to […]
The usual chorus of environmentalists and editorial writers has chimed in to attack President Bush’s recent speech on climate change. In his address of April 23, he put forth a goal of stopping the growth of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2025. “Way too little and way too late,” runs the refrain, followed […]
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. When debating human-induced global warming, we often hear, “Well, have you seen ‘An Inconvenient Truth’?” presented as the slam-dunk argument on why global warming is going to destroy the planet any […]
“FUELS VS. FOOD — US Energy Policy Hurting World’s Poor” is a New York Post editorial on the disaster that is biofuels. Among the revelations, The fact is, food riots resulting partly from the United States’ alternative energy policies have arrived at our front door. Crowds of hungry demonstrators swarmed the presidential palace in Haiti […]
(Hat tip: Andrew Stuttaford) Mr. Eugenides nails The Independent — Britain’s hysterical, hypocritical newspaper of record. Here’s a 2005 editorial praising the wonders of biofuels: At last, some refreshing signs of intelligent thinking on climate change are coming out of Whitehall. The Environment minister, Elliot Morley, reveals today in an interview with this newspaper that […]
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 […]
The Australian has the details of an ABC Radio interview on the fact that the Earth’s climate has cooled since 1998. Remember, however, that to the global warming cultists, facts like this don’t matter. From Climate facts to warm to: Last Monday – on ABC Radio National, of all places – there was a tipping […]
