We’re Saved! CO2 Caused Climate Change Doesn’t Destroy Coffee

Posted on by William Teach

How many stories over the past few years have hyperventilatingly (yes, I know, not a word) told us that coffee production was doooooomed due to “climate change”?

We’re Apparently All Deniers Of The Third Kind Now

Posted on by William Teach

One of the things I adore when it comes to the “climate change” debate is that Warmists are always coming up with new ways to amuse me. Sure, Democrats/Liberals/Progressives (you can add in Marxists, Socialists, and authoritarians in, too) can be maddening, and Warmists are primarily made up of those people, but their unhinged pronouncements […]

 

Hopey Change Creates Record High Electricity Prices

Posted on by Dave Blount

For once we have a president who delivers on his promises. Obama said he would fundamentally transform America; if you fell asleep in 2008 and woke up now, would you believe even half of what you see on the news? He said he would cause energy prices to skyrocket; despite the discovery of massive energy […]

 

Nanny Bloomberg Pushes Law To Force Composting

Posted on by William Teach

Why is NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg such a popular fellow? Because he perfectly encapsulates what Progressives stand for: bigger and bigger governmental control over Other People’s lives, from big things down to the tiny things. This is what Progressives want, but notice the use of the phrase “Other People’s lives”. When it comes to laws, […]

 

Bummer: Sea Rise Worse Than We Thought

Posted on by William Teach

And by worse, I mean worse for the disciples of the Cult Of Climate Change (Daily Caller) When Barack Obama promised to slow the earth’s rising sea levels and heal the planet during the 2008 campaign, he probably had no idea that curbing carbon dioxide emissions might not lower the sea levels. A study published […]

Good Grief: Late 20th Century El Nino Now Blamed On “Climate Change”

Obama Planning to Circumvent Congress to Deliberately Drive Up Energy Prices

Posted on by Dave Blount

Tyranny is always an end in itself for tyrants — but it can’t be marketed that way. Nazis sold tyranny as a quest for racial purity; communists sold it as economic justice. In the USSA, the label reads “saving the planet.” The sugar coating is never effective except on the most bovine. For the rest, […]

Rich SecState Takes Fossil Fueled Flight To India To Complain About Fossil Fuels

(NY Times) Secretary […]

National Research Council Pushes Carbon Tax

Posted on by William Teach

This is the same NRC that has pushed to create one sided “climate change” education standards, despite there being a 15+ year pause in warming, which the models haven’t predicted, and even fail when the models are applied in hind-sight. Oh, and the NRC relies on public grant money. They have a vested interest in […]

Oh, Noes, Earth’s Alarm Bells Are Ringing!!!!!!

Unsurprisingly, the two op-ed authors, Michael Oppenheimer and Kevin Trenberth…you remember, Kevin, right?

Greenpeace Warmist: Hey, All You Warmists Shouldn’t Feel Guilty About Being Complete Hypocrites
