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 […]
There’s a lot most people don’t know about compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). The advertising message tells people that CFLs are “green” solutions that will help save the planet, and a few bucks on household electric bills. It’s also a common belief that the bulbs last five years between replacements. This notion probably stems from […]
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.

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. […]

Russian critics of the Kyoto Protocol, […]
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 […]
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 […]
‘Mr. Gore’s Movie has Claims no Informed Expert Endorses’ By Bob Unruh More than 31,000 scientists across the US, “ including more than 9,000 PhD.s in fields such as atmospheric science, climatology, Earth science, environment and dozens of other specialties, have signed a petition rejecting “global warming,” the assumption that the human production of greenhouse […]
Here’s a copy the remarks made by Václav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic, delivered at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change. Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, I would like first of all to thank the organizers of this important conference for making it possible and also for inviting one politically incorrect politician from […]
