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 […]

Thirty Years of Warmer Temperatures Go Poof
By Lorne Gunter In early September, I began noticing a string of news stories about scientists rejecting the orthodoxy on global warming. Actually, it was more like a string of guest columns and long letters to the editor since it is hard for skeptical scientists to get published in the cabal of climate journals now […]
Human Cost of Global Warming Hysteria the Subject of New Documentary
Not Evil Just Wrong Trailer (runtime 2:38) By Kevin Mooney Hysteria over global warming has opened the door to restrictive energy policies that greatly jeopardize not only average Americans but also low income families in developing countries who are already beset by rising prices, according a new documentary on the modern environmental movement  […]
Japan Sweats for Global Warming
Japanese office workers are being forced to sweat in the name of global warming. But before Americans consume too much “Green” Kool-Aid and suffer a similar fate, they may want to consider this week’s global warming developments. By Steven Milloy The Wall Street Journal reported in a front-page story (Sep. 11) that Japanese offices are […]
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 […]
In Science, Ignorance is not Bliss
by Walter Cunningham NASA has played a key role in one of the greatest periods of scientific progress in history. It is uniquely positioned to collect the most comprehensive data on our biosphere. For example, recently generated NASA data enabled scientists to finally understand the Gulf Stream warming mechanism and its effect on European weather. […]
Challenging the basis of Kyoto Protocol
Russian Scientists Deny Kyoto Protocol Reflects a Consensus View of the World Scientific Community by Vladimir Radyuhin As western nations step up pressure on India and China to curb the emission of greenhouse gases, Russian scientists reject the very idea that carbon dioxide may be responsible for global warming. Russian critics of the Kyoto Protocol, […]
Global Warming as Mass Neurosis
By Bret Stephens Last week marked the 20th anniversary of the mass hysteria phenomenon known as global warming. Much of the science has since been discredited. Now it’s time for political scientists, theologians and psychiatrists to weigh in. What, discredited? Thousands of scientists insist otherwise, none more noisily than NASA’s Jim Hansen, who first banged […]
Chicken Little and the North Pole Icecap
by Christopher C. Horner Late last week, the Drudge Report amplified a “shock claim†that “for the first time in human history, ice is on course to disappear entirely from the North Pole this yearâ€. Drudge linked to the claims originally trumpeted by the UK’s fading left-wing rag The Independent. Just for context, that is […]
The Marxist Roots of the Global Warming Scare
by Wes Vernon The late Natalie Grant Wraga once wrote, “Protection of the environment has become the principal tool for attack against the West and all it stands for. Protection of the environment may be used as a pretext to adopt a series of measures designed to undermine the industrial base of developed nations. It […]
Global Warming and the Price of a Gallon of Gas
by John Coleman You may want to give credit where credit is due to Al Gore and his global warming campaign the next time you fill your car with gasoline, because there is a direct connection between Global Warming and four dollar a gallon gas. It is shocking, but true, to learn that the entire […]
Pawlenty, Other Governors Propagandize for CCS in New Video
“Ahead of the Curve” (two parts - total runtime: 14 minutes) Center for Climate Strategies (CCS) is a global warming mitigation think-tank largely funded by the Rockefeller Brothers that has had a hand in creating a cookie-cutter climate change plan for many states. A new video produced by Sea Studios, titled “Ahead of the Curve†[…]
The Radicals Are Back, Now Wielding the Environment
Rather than bow before this arrogation, let’s take useful steps that aren’t destructive. By Charles Krauthammer I’m not a global warming believer. I’m not a global warming denier. I’m a global warming agnostic who believes instinctively that it can’t be very good to pump lots of CO2 into the atmosphere but is equally convinced that […]
More Biofuelishness
By Paul Chesser With food and gas prices skyrocketing, several state climate commissions are ignoring the backlash against the suddenly antiquated policy of plant-enhanced petrol, as they hope to stop the alleged future global warming catastrophe. Why? Because before they even get started, panelists and their hired management team (in most cases), the Center for […]
