Climategate: the Final Nail in the Coffin of 'Anthropogenic Global Warming?'

By James Delingpole If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW.

Hamilton Flips: “Deniers” Deadlier Than Nazis

By Andrew Bolt Greens candidate Clive Hamilton says global warming sceptics will prove to be not just worse than Holocaust deniers, but deadlier than the Holocaust’s genocidal killers.

Experts Say that Fears Surrounding Climate Change are Overblown

By Hannah Devlin Alarming predictions that climate change will lead to the extinction of hundreds of species may be exaggerated, according to Oxford scientists.

Since Americans are Teenagers, They Won’t Understand Greenhouse Gases

By Nick Loris “The American public… just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act. The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is.” In case you haven’t heard, that was Secretary of Energy Steven Chu discussing your ability to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

Paul Chesser: Global warming propaganda infiltrates schools

By Paul Chesser Scientists see no temperature increase (on average) in the oceans or on the surface of the Earth over the last decade. That hasn’t stopped an activist group from infiltrating high schools with the panicky message that we are on the verge of a “planetary emergency” due to global warming. These alarmists are […]

Scared Silly About Global Warming

By Bjorn Lomborg The continuous presentation of scary stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it terrifies our kids. Al Gore famously depicted how a sea-level rise of 20 feet (six meters) would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, Bangladesh, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations […]

Despite Coldest Winter in Decades, Alarmists Insist Global Warming Accellerating

Somehow, the Earth is hotter than ever during the coldest winter since the 1970s. In the face of frigid world-wide temperature trends and mounting evidence that the Earth is entering a cooling phase, the pushers of man-made global warming theory are becoming more shrill with their warnings of runaway warming. Chris Field of the UN’s […]

Murdock: Even Left Now Laughing at Global Warming

By Deroy Murdock SAN FRANCISCO — So-called “global warming” has shrunk from problem to punch line. And now, Leftists are laughing, too. It’s hard not to chuckle at the idea of Earth boiling in a carbon cauldron when the news won’t cooperate: Nearly four inches of snow blanketed the United Arab Emirates’ Jebel Jais region […]

Let the Data Speak for Itself

Despite the message favoured by environmental campaigners, temperatures in this decade have not been worse than expected  By Björn Lomborg   Have you noticed how environmental campaigners almost inevitably say that not only is global warming happening and bad, but also that what we are seeing is even worse than expected? This is odd, because any reasonable […]

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 […]

Arctic Ice Refuses to Melt as Ordered

There’s Something Rotten North of Denmark  By Steven Goddard Just a few weeks ago, predictions of Arctic ice collapse were buzzing all over the internet. Some scientists were predicting that the “North Pole may be ice-free for first time this summer”. Others predicted that the entire “polar ice cap would disappear this summer”. The Arctic […]

Waiter, There's a Fly in my Agitprop

To the dismay of green-oriented psychologists, seeing and hearing a lone skeptic for as little as 45 seconds in a “balanced” news story on global warming is enough to erode viewers’ confidence in the anthropogenic global warming theory. The solution? No more dissenting views. They are far too powerful, evidently. Hence, the common phrases “global […]
