Eco-nuttery environmental regulations in San Francisco are costing taxpayers millions of unnecessary expenses, yet nothing will be done to change the rules to reflect reality.

Once again (see here and here and here) moonbats would like to exploit picturesquely squalid Haiti as a testing ground for concepts so insane, not even Democrats dare impose them closer to home. As Haiti marches onward towards reconstruction, Vincent Callebaut continues to pump out amazing concepts for utopian eco villages for Haitians. Inspired by […]

Envirofascists will do anything to save the owls. Not only will they destroy tens of thousands of jobs, they’ll even kill owls: First they came for the loggers, destroying 30,000 jobs and countless lives. Now they’re coming for the Barred Owl. Anyone remember the Great Spotted Owl Controversy? Back in the late 80s and early […]

CHURCHVLLE, VA–A new study from the University of Illinois estimates that the world has more than 702 million hectares of marginal land suitable for growing biofuels. The researchers assessed land around the world based on its soil quality, slope, and regional climate. They added degraded or low-quality cropland but ruled out any good cropland, pasture, […]

Compact fluorescents contain toxic mercury that will turn your house into a Superfund cleanup site if you break one. But fortunately we will have an alternative, even after our rulers ban safe and affordable incandescent bulbs as of next year on behalf of crony capitalist bankrollers like GE. Let’s not forget LEDs: Those light-emitting diodes […]

CHURCHVLLE, VA–Paul Krugman is a big deal: Princeton professor, New York Times columnist and Nobel laureate (2008). Krugman wrote last week about the “food crisis, the second one to hit the world in the last three years.” His key statement: “what really stands out is the extent to which severe weather events have disrupted agricultural […]

CHURCHVILLE, VA–President Obama didn’t mention carbon constraints in his State of the Union message. Such carbon constraints would force the nation to give up most of the energy that currently keeps us warm and productive. Instead, the President proposed a new “clean energy” program–which would force the nation to give up most of the energy […]

Eco-totalitarians have exactly one constructive use — they provide laughs with their shrill predictions of doom. Here‘s What George Monbiot was shrieking into the receptive ears of Britain’s liberal elitists in 2002: Within as little as 10 years, the world will be faced with a choice: arable farming either continues to feed the world’s animals […]

As the great Milton Friedman famously observed, “If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there’d be a shortage of sand.” Likewise, excessive rain is no cure for drought with Big Government at the helm. From Congressman Tom McClintock (R-CA): California’s precipitation this season has gone off the […]

CHURCHVILLE, VA–The cable network MSNBC is warning that the world food chain “has been stretched to the limit” by rising world demand and a series of crop failures in several countries. The TV network’s warning is premature. The U.S., in fact, could ease the current global food price spike with one administrative action–limiting the amount […]

CHURCHVILLE, VA – A recent article in the British journal Nature warns that polar bears are increasingly mating with grizzly bears–because man-made climate change is rapidly melting the Arctic sea ice on which the polar bears love to hunt seals. Breathlessly, we’re told that a hybrid grizzly/polar bear was discovered in 2006. More recently another […]
