By Paul Walsh Longtime WCCO TV meteorologist Mike Fairbourne says that the environmental movement is practicing “squishy science” when it ties human activity to global warming. Fairbourne’s assessment Monday came on the same day that the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine appeared before the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., and announced that it […]

Eco-friendly Claims for ‘Hybrid’ Cars Dismissed as Gimmickry
By Lewis Smith Cars promoted as eco-friendly were criticised yesterday for pumping out up to 56 per cent more carbon dioxide than the manufacturers claim. Three models, including the Honda Civic hybrid, performed so badly in tests that their environmental claims were dismissed as a gimmick. A further five vehicles, including Volkswagen’s Polo BlueMotion, hailed […]
Global Warming Alarmists Using Polar Bear as a Pawn
Why it Should’t be Listed Under Endangered Species Act From Red State The Washington Post devoted its KidsPost page today to a sympathetic plea for the polar bear — the predatory creature that environmentalists want listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. With a decision looming on Thursday for the Bush administration, […]
Junk Science: The Great Global Warming Race
Can global warming’s vested interests close the deal on greenhouse gas regulation before the public wises up to their scam? By Steven Milloy A new study indicates alarmist concern and a need to explain away the lack of actual global warming. Researchers belonging to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, reported in […]
Letter from a Constituent
Chad Johnson has had enough of global warming hysteria shaping public policy and he wrote a letter to his state senator that has since been passed around to other legislators. His letter expresses the frustration of ordinary citizens. With Mr. Johnson’s permission, a portion of his correspondence is reproduced below. Senator, I appreciate your political […]
Global Warming: The Left's Latest War on the Family
Procreation is killing the planet, and traditional religion is to blame, Global-Warming cultists insist.First the industrial revolution had to go. Then it was to the wall with oil company executives, those malignant Carbon Interests. Next, SUVs were declared enemies of the planet. Now, the left’s attention has shifted back to its perennial targets — large families […]
Perhaps The Climate Change Models Are Wrong
They drift along in the worlds’ oceans at a depth of 2,000 metres — more than a mile deep — constantly monitoring the temperature, salinity, pressure and velocity of the upper oceans. Then, about once every 10 days, a bladder on the outside of these buoys inflates and raises them slowly to the surface gathering […]
Hey, Nobel Prize Winners, Answer Me This
As a climate scientist, I would like to see some answers to a few basic global warming science questions which I’m sure the U.N.’s Ministry of Global Warming Truth (also known as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC) can handle. After all, since they are 90% confident that recent global warming is manmade, they […]
Arctic Climate Expert Urges More Honest Climate Change Discussion
Dr. Syun Akasofu, founding director of the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, has sent an open letter to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) documenting flaws in the IPCC process and suggesting improvements. Akasofu has published more than 550 professional journal articles, authored or co-authored 10 books, and […]
There's No Need to 'Save' the Polar Bear
Exxon used to encourage motorists to ”put a tiger in your tank.” Well, a different animal may begin influencing traffic soon. Polar bears could force drivers to shell out even more money for gasoline. Why? Because environmental groups are pushing to list the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act, and […]
Global Warming Alarmism Reaches A "Tipping Point"
The American people will soon be asked to support global warming cap-and-trade legislation that will be billed as a “solution” to global warming. These bills come at a time when the science is overwhelmingly taking away the basis for alarm. An abundance of new peer-reviewed studies, analyses, and data error discoveries in the last several […]
New Peer-Reviewed Scientific Studies Chill Global Warming Fears
An abundance of new peer-reviewed studies, analyses, and data error discoveries in the last several months has prompted scientists to declare that fear of catastrophic man-made global warming “bites the dust” and the scientific underpinnings for alarm may be “falling apart.” The latest study to cast doubt on climate fears finds that even a doubling […]
