Well, the Republicans have done something right After about a month in control of the House of Representatives, Republicans haven’t managed to undo as many deeds of their Democratic predecessors as they’d like. They couldn’t get rid of “Obamacare,” and they haven’t made much headway in slashing the president’s $4-trillion budget. But the GOP has […]

The Sydney Morning Herald digs in to the numbers SUCCESSIVE federal governments have spent more than $5.5 billion over the past decade on climate change programs that are delivering only small reductions in greenhouse gas emissions at unusually high costs for taxpayers and the economy. An analysis by the Herald of government schemes designed to […]

A hodge-podge of globull warming silliness this Friday morning, starting with Malcolm Bowman, an oceanography professor from Stony Brook University in Long Island, recently stood at the snow-covered edge of the Williamsburg waterfront and pointed toward the Midtown skyline. “Looking at the city, with the setting sun behind the Williamsburg Bridge, it’s a sea of […]

Mights and coulds and maybes. Silly Louise Gray brings this breathless scaremongering. Researchers at the University of Alberta looked at how melting sea ice in the 1990s effected the breeding success of polar bears. During the spring and summer months the females are hunting seals on the ice to build up energy for the autumn […]

The thing about “cap and trade” legislation is, that it is so chock-full of technical language that is difficult for anyone but a policy wonk to follow. “Global warming” legislation has been shot down in the Congress, but has passed on a statewide level in California. It is taking a long time to implement in […]

From Gore’s man cave, which features multiple computer monitors, a TV he’s not watching, lots of electronics he isn’t using but are turned on, and lots of paper from the killing of trees, Gore has an answer to Bill O’Reilly Last week on his show Bill O’Reilly asked, “Why has southern New York turned into […]

When something bad happens to a Conservative, the first response through much of the starboard side of the blogosphere is to offer up our best wishes/condolences/shock, then see what the nutters on the port side are saying. Nowadays, when something happens in the world, from a tornado to a rain storm to Egyptian riots, we […]

And here we go with the whole “greenhouse gases which trap reflected sunlight and cause the Earth to warm will make it frickin’ cold and snowy” idiocy again Climate change means we will be skiing in Yorkshire rather than sunbathing under palm trees, experts warn (all two of them) We are more likely to be […]

Well, it looks like young people, at least in the U.K., care more about their body image and other things, rather than globull warming, but, hey, they should live their lives like perpetually pissed off teenagers, according to Grist “Generation Hot” is the 2 billion or so young people who will be stuck dealing with […]

Today’s dose of “seriously?” The Imperial War Museum in London may seem like a strange place to launch a report on climate change. But that’s where I am this morning, along with speakers from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Research, the Women’s Institute and the museum itself. Why? Two reasons. First, climate change is one […]

We hear all the dire warnings, we read all the unhinged predictions, and they tell us we need to spend money hand over fist to stop global warming, er, climate change, um, sudden climate disruption, oh, whatever they are calling it today. Nowadays, they tell is globull warming will cause it to get high, cold, […]

Obviously, this must have huge implications for Earth’s nations today, because OMG WE’RE ALL GOING TO…..well, something. Alarmists are never quite sure what will actually happen, but, something will, usually involving very specific words like “Might,” “may”, “possibly,” and “could” (via Jammie Wearing Fool) Some House Democrats blamed their defeat in November’s midterm elections partly […]

Of course, their premise is that we should have more civility in the green debate, otherwise, OMG, THE WORLD IS GOING TO BURN!!!!!!11!!!!!!! we won’t be able to have a proper debate THE ARCTIC IS GOING TO BE ICE FREE IN 1,000 YEARS and decide what proper legislation BUILD SOLAR PLANTS FOR GAIA!!!! to pass, […]

They really just can’t help themselves One of the most worrisome national security threats of climate change is the spread of disease, among both people and animals, U.S. intelligence and health officials say. But more than a decade after such concerns were first raised by U.S. intelligence agencies, significant gaps remain in the health surveillance […]

No, you did not read the headline incorrectly, nor did I mistype it New research has estimated that over the next 100 years climate change could cause up to a 20 per cent decrease in demand for electricity for heating in Northern Europe and up to a 20 per cent increase in demand for electricity […]
