Earth Hour 2009

It's like a grade school activity, fun and educational...

Participants spend an enjoyable sixty minutes in the dark, safe in the knowledge that the life-saving benefits of industrial civilization are just a light switch away. This bears no relation whatsoever to what life would actually be like under the sort of draconian carbon-reduction policies that climate activists are demanding: punishing carbon taxes, severe emissions caps, outright bans on the construction of power plants.

Forget one measly hour with just the lights off. How about Earth Month, without any form of fossil fuel energy? Try spending a month shivering in the dark without heating, electricity, refrigeration; without power plants or generators; without any of the labor-saving, time-saving, and therefore life-saving products that industrial energy makes possible.

Those who claim that we must cut off our carbon emissions to prevent an alleged global catastrophe need to learn the indisputable fact that cutting off our carbon emissions would be a global catastrophe. What we really need is greater awareness of just how indispensable carbon-based energy is to human life...

Obama's Socialist Climate Czarina

From FOXNews.com

Carol Browner, President Obama's climate czarina served as a member of a socialist organization whose mission is to enact progressive government policies.

Browner's name and biography have been deleted from the website of Socialist International, a group of social democratic, socialist and labor parties.

Browner worked on Socialist International's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which argues that the global community must work collectively to address environmental policies.

We are aware that essential tasks still lie ahead which we can master only through common action, since human survival increasingly depends upon the joint efforts of people around the world. It is the people of the world who should exercise control by means of a more advanced democracy in all aspects of life: political, social and economic. Political democracy, for socialists, is the necessary framework and precondition for other rights and liberties.

A more advanced democracy? Thank God we're a republic... right?

NBC Joins Newsweek Smearing Global Warming "Deniers"

Only days after Newsweek was embarrassed when its own columnist, Robert Samuelson, excoriated the magazine for a “fundamentally misleading” and “highly contrived” cover story meant to defame the global warming “denial machine,” Wednesday's NBC Nightly News aired an equally distorted story which smeared “deniers.”

Freeman Dyson Joins Global Warming Skeptics

Professor Freeman Dyson enjoys an awesome reputation in theoretical physics. He works at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, Albert Einstein's old stamping grounds. It is therefore a landmark event when Dyson fiercely denounces the Global Warming mess. Freeman Dyson takes no prisoners. Read More...

Warming Records Revised Downwards

Seven years ago a Y2K related glitch crept into warming models used by NASA. Because the model used is not open to scrutiny it took until recently to be discovered by warming “deniers”. Now NASA has revised the data downwards but try to find a mention of that in the mainstream media. Read More...

The Great Global Warming Swindle

I remember that chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs were, "causing the hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica to grow." CFCs have been banned en mass for quite sometime and the hole in the ozone layer remains and is growing due to, what was recently admitted, solar activity. Read More...

Science Magazine Waffles on Warming

The American scientific establishment is starting to take baby steps away from taking sides in the politics of global warming. It's sad to have to read science articles for political spin, like some announcement by the Kremlin. But climate change has now become so politicized that SCIENCE magazine reflects at least as much politics as honest science...

Global Warming: The Real Assault on Reason

For over 15 years, Al Gore has painstakingly ravaged all non-anthropogenic (NA) climate change theories (solar, cosmic, volcanic, etc) along with those scientists advancing them. During that same period, he has helped craft a worldwide global warming orthodoxy which holds the misdeeds of homo sapiens sacrosanct to its dogma.

NPR Continues Kyoto Dishonesty

The editors and fact-checkers at the AP managed to miss the fact that the Kyoto treaty got rejected almost four years before Bush took office. Apparently, the fact-checkers and editors at NPR are no better than those at the AP. In a report on developments on the climate-change issue today, NPR again falsely accuses the Bush administration of killing Kyoto.
