GAO Faults 'Credibility' of Carbon Offset Market

The report, expected […]
Bill Carmichael: Labour – the Leading Lights
By Bill Carmichael THIS may sound perverse, but as the country seemingly writes off Gordon Brown as a dead loss, I’m finding strong reasons why his beleaguered administration deserves our support. Why? Simply because Labour is the only major political party to take seriously one of the gravest problems facing the UK over the next […]

A Spotless Sun
By Alan Caruba There’s a wonderful irony in the fact that, back in the 1970s, the Greens were issuing warnings and even writing books about the coming Ice Age. They would abandon this issue, based in well-known and accepted solar science, in favor of a vast international hoax alleging man-made global warming. As the global […]

Global Warming Not to Blame for Gustav
These days, everything under the sun is caused by global warming. If it’s hot, it’s because of global warming. If it’s cold, it’s because of global warming. If it’s dry, it’s because of global warming, and if it’s rainy, it’s because of global warming. Naturally, if a hurricane develops and makes landfall, that’s because of […]
