Despite the fact that the government is slow, stupid, and incompetent, if there’s a terrorist attack, natural disaster, plague or other mini-apocalypse, we just expect it to be ready to handle it. Of course, as we found out during 9/11, the California blackouts, Hurricane Katrina, and the Gulf spill, our government gets caught with its […]

CHURCHVILLE, VA–“It’s not just that man-made emissions don’t control the climate, they don’t even control global CO2 levels.” That’s the incredible message Dr. Murry Salby, Chair of Climate Science at the respected Macquarie University in Australia, presented recently to the Sydney Institute. Professor Salby’s paper, with all the graphs, will be released in about six […]

Global warming propagandists are probably sorry they ever started talking about arctic ice because the deeper you look into it, the more it cuts against the idea of manmade global warming. Danish researchers analysed ancient pieces of driftwood in north Greenland which they say is an accurate way to measure the extent of ancient ice […]

So, how’s the liberal effort to force overpriced, underperforming electric cars on the public going? Ehr, not so well… A LONG WAY TO GO: Nissan Leaf sales hit 931, Chevy Volt at 125 in July. So, how does that square with this? “We can break our dependence on oil…and become the first country to have […]

It will take more than a warm summer to keep the global warming hoax from continuing to crumble. Charles Monnett, the government bureaucrat/scientist who helped make polar bears the mascot of the envirocommunist movement, now finds himself on leave, having been accused of scientific misconduct. It’s unclear whether Monnett’s “integrity issues” have to do with […]

Get ready for the next big bombshell in the man-made warming debate. The world’s most sophisticated particle study laboratory–CERN in Geneva–will soon announce that more cosmic rays do, indeed, create more clouds in earth’s atmosphere. More cosmic rays mean a cooler planet. Thus, the solar source of the earth’s long, moderate 1,500-year climate cycle will […]

Not even bats benefit from moonbattery. Look what politically correct but economically idiotic wind turbines do to flying creatures of the night: Unfortunately bats aren’t the only ones who suffer from wind power poppycock: A bat killed by a wind turbine in Somerset [Pennsylvania] can lead to higher tomato prices at the Wichita farmers market. […]

I’m a somewhat contrary person. (Right now, those who know me well are probably off laughing hysterically somewhere at my understatement.) Because the environmentalists are pushing so hard, from Al Gore on down, my instinct is to push right back. Pushing back makes me sound as if I don’t care about the environment, but that’s […]

According to the cheesy sci-fi fantasies that serve liberal ideologues for reality, our refusal to revert to a medieval economy will result in icebergs melting and sea levels rising until we find ourselves living in a lame Kevin Costner movie. Fortunately, moonbat visionaries have developed a solution — the floating ecopolis: [A]rchitect Vincent Callebaut came […]

CHURCHVILLE, VA–Our ironic thanks to Smoky the Bear’s campaign manager, the Sierra Club, and all those well-meaning folks who have just delivered the second-largest wildfire in Arizona history. The Wallow Fire has burned more than 600 square miles of Ponderosa pine forest at this writing–and it is still burning. It still has a chance at […]

Oh, this is bad news! If the earth were warming right now and it was caused by man, then merely reading this article would be as naughty as Al Gore alone in a room with a pretty, young masseuse! It’s Saturday night, and you want to catch the latest summer blockbuster. You do a quick […]

CHURCHVILLE, VA–My colleague Bennie Peiser, of Britain’s Global Warming Policy Foundation, offers some of his latest man-made global warming news: The Sunday Times noted on May 22 that the UK government has agreed to cut its greenhouse emissions 50 percent by 2027. As a result, “Tata Steel last week announced it was cutting 1,500 jobs […]

Computer models at Stanford University have just “told” us that man-made global warming has already sapped some of the yield potential from our food crops. They say wheat yields would have been 5.5 percent higher since 1980 without the earthly warming; corn yields would have been 3.8 percent higher. Stanford’s computers apparently didn’t tell their […]
